- Tamara H10 contributionsA great live performance! A fun show that all ages can enjoy. Tristan Crist has great stage presence. The tickets are pricey, but the show goes all out.Written 29 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Laura L1 contributionThe Safari was a wonderful and memorable experience! The staff were very positive and friendly. The animals seemed to be well-taken care of and “happy.” Even the giraffes and zebras were galloping around. Very neat to see!Written 25 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MomRoccoChicago, IL546 contributionsWe picked up the path in Williams Bay and as others have noted, it is maintained very well in some places and poorly in others. While on it a man sitting in an Adirondack chair on his lawn near the path commented that he hoped he was seeing two Trump supporters walking on his path, which seemed unnecessarily confrontational given his lawn was full of Trump signs. Anyhow, we were on the path for about an hour as opposed to those who were trying to do the complete loop. It was a beautiful day and the views of the lakefront and fall colors were great.Written 29 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tamara H10 contributionsDuring December they had an extra exhibit of decorated Christmas trees from local organizations and businesses. Some of their displays could be updated and reconfigured. The back half of the museum has more specific local history displays that are unique to Lake Geneva.Written 29 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- tarit1979Gurugram (Gurgaon), India246 contributionsThe beach is happening place during summers and you can spend hours lazing about or in the water. It gets crowded during the afternoons so best way is to reserve your spot early in the morning. There is a 10$ entry fee but it is worth it. Get along some beach toys if going with kids.Written 5 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- TYPSUKRArlington, VA729 contributionsCame here on a Wednesday afternoon in August. After paying the admission fee at the self-service pay station, we first ate lunch at one of the picnic areas in the park. They had some tables in the shade, which made it enjoyable. While there were some flush toilets throughout the park, the facilities in this picnic area were simple latrines (i.e. gravity toilets). After eating lunch, we then went on a nature walk, first through a prairie/meadow, and then finishing up through some forested areas and ponds, closer to the lake shore. You can access the lakeshore from the park, but you have to cross the main road to get there (we didn't do that).Written 11 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mhersheyNorthfield, IL580 contributionsOur family had fun night golfing on this beautiful course. Well-maintained! No bells or whistles like windmills etc, but pretty water features and interesting roughs on the greens.Written 2 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gina326Arlington, IL65 contributionsMy husband and I did the gangster’s paradise room which was the hardest room and it was hard!! We did not escape! We were close, probably could have done it in another 10 minutes or so. It was a lot of fun, highly recommend doing this!!Written 15 November 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Diane KVenice, FL4,593 contributionsWe went here with our daughter’s family. We had appetizers and drinks and then played pool. It was only $2.00 for the game. Our grandsons and we enjoyed the game.Written 28 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Tom I1 contributionMy wife and I rented scooters for 3 hours over the weekend. It was our first time riding street legal gas scooters so we were a bit nervous. We had a very convenient and great time, and felt safe along the way. Highly recommended for new or experienced scooter drivers, great way to get around Lake Geneva area!
The 20-ish minute operating and driving instruction prior to being released into the wild was a huge confidence boost for both my wife and I. We became comfortable with starting the scooter, getting the scooter off of, and onto, the kickstand for parking. We went through a driving course in the parking lot which gave us confidence in making turns, stopping on a spot, starting from feet on pavement to feet in scooter, as well as getting a feel for how the scooter drives. Huge confidence boost in our ability but also a safety reinforcement.
We scooted up to downtown Lake Geneva where the annual Oktoberfest celebration was happening. Parking for cars was a nightmare (told by others in our group and seeing no open spots), but not for us! Able to scoot right up to the festivity barriers and park on the sidewalk, off to side not obstructing pedestrians. Easy peasy! Walked around for a couple of hours enjoying the festivity.Written 17 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
