| TOP GREEN BAY AREA ATTRACTIONS |
| Lambeau Field |
| Lambeau Field is the home stadium of the NFL's Green Bay Packers. Originally opened in 1957 as City Stadium, it replaced Green Bay's original City Stadium as the Packers' home field. For that reason, it was also informally known as New City Stadium until 1965, when it was renamed for Packers founder E.L. (Curly) Lambeau following his death. Lambeau Field was the first stadium built for the exclusive use of an NFL team, and is the longest continuously-occupied stadium in the NFL. |
| Bay Beach Amusement Park |
| The Bay Beach Amusement Park (Bay Beach) is a small amusement park near the mouth of the Fox River as it flows into the Bay of Green Bay in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It features a few rides, but no roller coasters. From the 1900's to the end of the 1930's it had a public beach (hence the Beach part of the name), but because of pollution of the bay and nearby Fox River, the beach was closed and ultimately replaced by large boulders to prevent beachfront erosion. From the 1930s to the early 1970s the Bay Beach Pavilion hosted numerous concerts, political rallies, dances, etc. Today the park is generally a family place. Scenic views abound. There are many rides for younger patrons including bumper cars, a small scale Wisconsin Central passenger train ride, a large slide and a Ferris wheel. |
| National Railroad Museum |
| The origin of the National Railroad Museum dates to 1956, when local individuals advanced the concept of a national museum dedicated to the American rail road history. Two years later, a joint resolution of Congress recognized the Museum as the National Railroad Museum. Since then, the Museum has operated as a privately funded 501 (c) (3) educational organization with a mission to foster an understanding of railroading and its significance to American Life. What began as an effort to acquire a single steam locomotive for a city park has grown into one of the largest rail museums in the nation. It now serves over 75,000 visitors annually. Today, a professional staff of 12 and over 100 unpaid staff members welcome visitors from all over the world. |
