Besides football, Green Bay is also an ideal place to visit if you're a serious fan of fishing. The Raleigh Green Bay area offers anglers a chance to catch some giant walleye, salmon, bass, sturgeon and perch. Alexander's Sport Fishing Guide Service arranges fishing trips for large group tours. Additionally, the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary, a 700-acre park, is open throughout the year and doesn't charge admission.
Parents need not worry about their kids missing out on the fun. The Green Bay Beach Amusement Park has free admission and parking. Ride tickets are also cheap at $.25 per person. The city's "New Zoo," offers discounted admissions for visiting families as well as its own Reforestation Camp.
The five-acre Heritage Hill State Historical Park is a living history museum with historic structures to explore, including a maple sugaring house and fur trader's cabin as well as the Fort Howard School and Hospital. Admissions are free for park members and AAA discounts are also available. A visit to the Historic Hazelwood House Museum offers a glimpse of life in the city during the mid-1800s, while the National Railroad Museum offers a little bit of everything, such as live music events, a ride in the museum's own Polar Express, and a tour of a "haunted" mansion.
