About Visit Kenosha
Welcome to the Kenosha Area, where you’re sure to find a Winning Game Plan for your sporting event!
Conveniently located between the metropolitan areas of Chicago and Milwaukee, our convenient location, first-rate facilities and knowledgeable Sports Sales Team make the Kenosha Area an easy choice. Over 1,000 hotel rooms are available in the greater Kenosha Area, with more than 2,000 additional rooms in neighboring communities.
Our Lake Michigan shoreline is one of our most popular features, with nearly 90 percent publicly accessible via parks, beaches, festival places and a miles-long promenade. The lakeshore also boasts five one-of-a-kind museums, an authentic electric streetcar system, two historic lighthouses, and the popular Kenosha HarborMarket. A vibrant Downtown district full of shopping, dining and the arts is ideally located just steps from the lakeshore and makes for a truly special visit.
Away from the shoreline, the Kenosha Area is teeming with opportunities for fun! Pleasant Prairie Premium Outlets and Bristol Renaissance Faire are visitor favorites that you’ll want to build into your itinerary. If it’s the great outdoors you seek, Kenosha’s western region delivers beautifully. Pristine golf courses, tranquil inland lakes, hiking and biking trails, a ski and snowboard area, and so much more await you year-round.
There’s an old saying that you can’t please everyone ... but we’re not so sure that applies to Kenosha, Wisconsin! There really is something here for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly getaway with the kids, a relaxing nature-inspired retreat, or an action-packed weekend with friends, we’ll help you put together an itinerary that’s sure to please!
