Fall and football season take on enormous significance in Green Bay, Wisconsin (home of the NFL’s Packers), but groups can enjoy attractions and activities away from the gridiron.
You can, um, kick off your visit at The Automobile Gallery, which features more than 50 vehicles of distinction, from a 1917 Milburn Electric to a 1981 DeLorean and a 2015 Cadillac CTS-V. The attraction is the vision of local car enthusiast Red Lewis.
“He dreamed of converting a Cadillac dealership in downtown Green Bay into a gallery featuring the car as art,” says Cameron Teske, marketing manager at the Greater Green Bay CVB. “Each car is displayed with its own storyboard to help you understand and appreciate the impact and beauty of the automobile.”
Another transportation gem is the National Railroad Museum, where guests can explore the train car used by Dwight D. Eisenhower during World War II; meet Big Boy, the world’s largest steam locomotive; and inspect a variety of railroad memorabilia.
And going from the rails to the waterway, groups can board the River Tyme for a Fox River Tours cruise. Themed excursions and private charters are available.
