THE CLASSICS NEVER DISAPPOINT
Beaches and Boat Tours
With three lakes in the area — Geneva, Delavan and Como — water rules when it comes to family fun. Frolic on the beaches — Riviera Beach, Village of Fontana Beach and Williams Bay Beach. Walk a segment of the famous Geneva Lake Shore Path to see eyepopping mansions up close. See the homes and hear their fascinating history aboard a Lake Geneva Cruise Line tour or the Lake Lawn Queen on Delavan Lake.
Animal Attractions
The Dancing Horses Theatre stages a dazzling equestrian performance that is a must-see for horse lovers. Or go on safari at Safari Lake Geneva, a family-owned drive-through conservation park where you’ll experience up-close encounters with exotic animals from the comfort of your vehicle. You can even feed the resident giraffes.
Making Magic
Illusions, magic, comedy and audience participation make the award-winning Tristan Crist Magic Theatre another popular attraction among multi-gen groups. This is the kind of show you’d expect to find in Vegas, with death-defying escapes, a disappearing helicopter and more.
Orchard Fun
If you’re visiting in the fall, make it a point to stop at Pearce’s Farm Stand in nearby Walworth for pumpkins, fresh donuts and kettle corn, and test your group navigational skills in the 12-acre corn maze. Go apple picking at Royal Oak Farm Orchard and zigzag through the unique apple tree maze.
ALL-AGES ADVENTURE
Ziplining and Mountain Biking
Lake Geneva Ziplines & Adventures has professionally guided zipline tours that take you flying through 100 acres of treetops. There’s also an all-new high ropes course strung between trees for an extra challenge (and perhaps a little family competition). A dozen miles of mountain bike trails may convince you to pack the bikes. The Adventure Center at Grand Geneva rents e-bikes and scooters, and sells day passes to ride the 8.5 miles of mountain bike trails there, too.
Horseback Riding
Round up the gang for a trail ride at Dan Patch Stables where there are also pony rides for the young’uns. Additionally, about a half hour from Lake Geneva is Wild 3L Ranch, which provides guided rides along Kettle Moraine State Forest trails.
Paddling
Get out on the water via kayak or stand-up paddleboard with rentals from Clear Water Outdoor, located near the downtown boat launch on Geneva Lake. An orientation at the water’s edge is included in the rental.
