Wisconsin
For a state that plays host to a United Nations of ethnic festivals
every summer, owns bragging rights to Eric Benet and pays homage in
bronze to Dr. Martin Luther King, Wisconsin
is nothing if not diverse. Wisconsin may just be the next ‘it’ state,
offering every kind of culinary delight from Japanese to Ethiopian and
something for nearly every taste bud in between. Here, a heaping
helping of authenticity is topped off with homegrown value to plate the
perfect getaway — especially in these economic doldrums.
With its common sense sensibility and unapologetic passion for
individuality, Wisconsin
never seemed to mind its status as the best-kept-secret state
sandwiched between Illinois (think Chicago) and Minnesota (Mall of
retail-priced America, anyone?).
Situated on the shores of Lake Michigan, Milwaukee is brimming with
waterfront fun, restaurants, cultural attractions and so much more —
and all at prices that allow you to trim your budget — not your
vacation expectations.
The
architectural masterpiece that is the Milwaukee Art Museum, features
the stunning
“wings” of the Burke Brise Soleil, which act as a gigantic, moveable
sunscreen that unfold twice daily in a dramatic show. And for just $12
per adult ticket, more masterpieces
can be found inside.
While
you’re visiting Milwaukee or Madison, snatch up a bargain at one of
Wisconsin’s outlet malls. Prime Outlets Mall is just an hour south of
Milwaukee, while Johnson Creek is conveniently located between Madison
and Milwaukee.
Milwaukee
boasts major league fun at minor league prices. The average ticket cost
for a Brewers game is just under $20. That’s a great deal for fans of
any age.
Enjoy tours and tastings — and discover top-shelf wine at down-to-earth
prices — when you visit one of Wisconsin’s many wonderful wineries.
