Welcome to Green Bay, Wisconsin
Here you will find that we are more than a football community. Although it might be interesting to know that we have the smallest city in the United States to host a professional sports team, the Green Bay Packers.
Green Bay has a west and an east side, which is divided by the Fox River. This river leads the Bay of Green Bay, which is part of Lake Michigan. Here you can go boating and water skiing. Or just sit back and enjoy the water. Walleye fishermen think we have some of the best water to fish.
Take a tour on the double-decker bus. Discover the beauty of the Green Bay Botanical Garden or go on the rides at Bay Beach Amusement Park.

Cheeseheads and the Packers
I have lived in Green Bay, WI for most of my adult life. I quickly found out that if you were not a Packer fan, then you were from another state. People here live, breath and taste football. Green Bay is popular for the "Cheeseheads", "Tailgating" and "The Green Bay Packers."
The Green Bay Packers have won twelve league championships (more than any other team in the NFL) including nine NFL Championships prior to the Super Bowl era and three Super Bowl victories in 1967 (Super Bowl I), 1968 (Super Bowl II) and 1997 (Super Bowl XXXI). The team has a fierce rivalry with the Chicago Bears, whom they have played in over 170 games. The Packers also share a historic rivalry with the Minnesota Vikings, who reside in the NFC North along with the Packers, and the Dallas Cowboys who have historically been known as the Packers largest playoff rivals after the Packers defeated them in the famous Ice Bowl.
For the latest news and schedule of the Packers see The Official Web Site of The Green Bay Packers
Bay Beach Amusement Park and Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary
Bay Beach Amusement Park is located along the bay of Green Bay on the city's east side. The park consists of approximately 45 acres with 16 rides, 7 shelters, a dance hall, rest rooms, picnic areas, and playground, softball and volleyball areas. For more information go to Bay Beach Amusement Park
Across the road is the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary. This is a beautiful 700-acre urban wildlife refuge. This is one of the largest wildlife rehabilitation sites in Wisconsin and Green Bay's largest city park. The Sanctuary is open to the public year 'round with no admission fee.

Heritage Hill State Park
Heritage Hill State Park is a living history museum devoted to the preservation of its buildings and artifacts and the interpretation of the history of Northeast Wisconsin and its people. Through the unique experiences provided for visitors throughout the year, Heritage Hill has earned a reputation as a jewel of the Midwest for guests from within the area, and those visiting our community. For more information visit Hertiage Hill State Park
The National Railroad Museum
The National Railroad Museum dates to 1956. Local individuals advanced the concept of a national museum dedicated to the American rail road history. Two years later, a joint resolution of Congress recognized the Museum as the National Railroad Museum. The Museum has operated as a privately funded educational organization with a mission to foster an understanding of railroading and its significance to American Life. What began as an effort to acquire a single steam locomotive for a city park has grown into one of the largest rail museums in the nation. It now serves over 75,000 visitors annually. Today, a professional staff of 12 and over 100 unpaid staff members welcome visitors from all over the world. For more information visit National Railroad Museum
