- Carey H9 contributionsI was very glad I listened to advice and did the Upper Dells Boat Tour. The Witches Gulch is very beautiful and the rest of the tour was just as beautiful. The company kept the tour going at a great pace. The jumping dog is a little anticlimactic though.Written August 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Tom P2 contributionsRick and Susan are technically excellent, their presentation is engaging, and the pace is perfect. They mix humor and smiles with audience engagement and perform illusions...big and small...that are seemingly impossible. We make the drive to see them every few years and are always glad we did.Written September 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Wally SkinkleGreater London, UK19 contributionsWow, talk about stepping back in time! The Pabst Mansion blew me away with its Flemish Renaissance Revival style. Those ornate furnishings had me feeling like I'd crashed a fancy 19th-century party. The knowledgeable staff were total rockstars, dishing out cool facts left and right. I was flying solo, but never felt lonely with all the history keeping me company. If you're into fancy old houses and beer barons, this place is a must-see. Just don't expect to crack open a PBR while you're there!Written September 16, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Shane WBrooklyn, IA88 contributionsI mean it’s one of those- you have to see it to believe it things. It’s a good 3 hour tour- walk at your own pace. I do believe the preservation committee needs to clean and update the house- funky smell and some places just need a good cleaning- lots of dust on the pieces in the museum. It’s kind of dark and creepy yet fun place to visit.Written August 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sarah R6 contributionsFantastic views from Devils Door hike. Arrive early -- parking fills up fast and trails get crowded. Wear good shoes -- the hike is straight up a rocky stair-like hillside. Worth it, but tough. The South Side shore seemed less crowded, but filled in by afternoon. Bring a cooler lunch and water bottle and granola bar for the hike!Written August 13, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- meganmomAppleton, WI28 contributionsWhether camping, biking, or hiking, this is a great park to visit. This was not my first time but was my husbands. We did a half day trip to Eagle Tower and hike eagle trail. (The trail said it was 2 miles, but my Garmin said was was more...) Eagle Trial is listed as difficult, definately wear tennis shoes or hiking boots, but if your moderately in shape you shoukd be fine.Written August 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Joyce J165 contributionsThis basilica is awesome! There are so many beautiful architectural features in the design of the sanctuary and the stained glass windows and murals are magnificent. The Visitor Center in the pavilion is well worth visiting. It has exhibits portraying the history of the basilica as well as a gift shop. It truly is amazing that a group of Polish immigrants were able to build this structure.Written September 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The meal in the Fireside restaurant also excellent.Written January 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DeeeenoSouth Elgin, IL1 contributionThis is one of our very favorite places to visit when in La Crosse. From Spring through Fall the view is amazing. To the North you can see Lake Onalaska and to the South you can see the winding Mississippi River with the bluffs in the background. The bird’s eye view of the Viterbo and University of Wisconsin campus is also amazing.Written July 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bryan CApple Valley, MN2 contributionsExcellent show, well paced, with humor and a little suspense. Tristan and Brett Daniels doing escape illusions and multiple up close sleight of hand routines. Great venue, 7 rows with about 22 per row, can’t get much closer or intimate.Written August 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- crh24Kenosha, WI178 contributionsThere are two activities that folks should do when visiting Lake Geneva – take the mailboat tour (sit on the right side of the boat) and walk the the lake shore path based on one's ability, e.g., perhaps walk a small portion of the path as an out-and-back. On a weekday in mid-June 2024, June 19 2024, I decided to walk around the entire lake clockwise starting from the Riviera docks in Lake Geneva, which is about a 21.5 mile walk. I live about 30 minutes from Lake Geneva, and always wanted to walk the path. Anyhow, I started the walk just prior to sunrise and finished 8 hours later. As previous reviews stated, each property owner is responsible for the public path on their property, and the path varies greatly from property to property. The path may be crushed rock, bricks, a narrow dirt path, thin slabs of rock, or just walking on a lawn, as a few examples. The path is easy to follow. My biggest obstacle was dodging in-the-ground-sprinkler systems that were watering flowers/lawns in the morning. Sometimes the path can be a bit slippery when wet, depending on the path's surface, such as rock slab surfaces. The only path component that I didn't care for was on the south shore on the east side of the golf course, where signs direct walkers to walk the road for a brief bit (Trinkes Estates). Although, looking at “some” on-line maps, the shore path is labeled following the shoreline at Trinkes (a lagoon), and not the road. I asked a few locals about it, and it appears this is an area of much debate/discussion. Although, I think technically one should follow posted signs, e.g., walk the road.
The path allows for close up views of the multitude of opulent estates that surround the lake. Obviously, the estates are stunningly beautiful. I did encounter a few property owners that waved to me drinking early morning coffee on their porches. Most folks that I saw on the estates were landscape crews attending to the properties. There were a bunch of cicadas around, and could be easily heard; 2024 was a big year for cicadas in Lake Geneva. Other fauna I encountered were turkey vultures, a doe with her fawn, ducks and ducklings, cranes, and herons. Lastly, between Big Foot beach and Lake Geneva, I encountered the “mail boat” making one of its final mail deliveries of the day.
There are a few historic markers/signs along the path. For example, I stumbled upon a large flag pole between Williams Bay and Fontana that had a small brass placard: “This historic wooden flag pole stood atop Chicago City Hall from 1885 to 1905. Originally over 60 ft tall, now approximately 47 ft after resetting.”
I mapped out the lake shore path on a gps, and it shows the path being 21.4 miles with about 1,900 feet of elevation ascent/descent. The path isn't completely flat in areas, there are mild ascents/descents/undulations over the course of the 21.4 miles. Although, I was surprised to learn that there was that much elevation change due to the mild undulations on the path; it wasn't that noticeable to me.
After completing the walk, I stopped at the visitor center in Lake Geneva and grabbed a brochure about the lake path. I am posting the contents of the brochure below:
The Geneva Lake Shore Path is a public easement going 21 miles around the entire lake. There are no public bathrooms unless you are in a city or village. The Shore Path is public, however the properties it crosses are private. Please be respectful staying on the path while crossing private property.

Update 6/30/2024. I went out to Lake Geneva on 6/23/2024 to tour Black Point. I arrived in the town early and walked for a bit prior to embarking on the 10:30 Black Point tour. I was told it was cancelled due to no power. Big storms came through the evening prior, and did a lot of damage on the west end of the lake, e.g., Williams Bay and Fontana, for example. So, I decided to come back out on 6/30/2024 for the Black Point tour since it was a glorious weather day (albeit the weekend prior to the Fourth of July). Since I had a 10:30AM Black Point tour I thought I'd arrive early and walk part of the shore line path. Prior to the tour, I walked from the Riviera boat docks to the Williams Bay boat launch/restrooms and then back to the Riviera prior to departing for Black Point. In Williams Bay there were a number of trees down or snapped off from the storms. I saw a house with roof damage as if a tree partially clipped the house. I also encountered a family of minks near the water. I wasn't sure if they were minks or fishers, but later determined they were definitely minks. Lastly, the cicada season ended, since I didn't hear nor see any.Written June 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Tracy greeted us so genuinely at the welcome center and later provided us with a wealth of knowledge about the history and impact of the lighthouse and its attendants. We climbed to the top and took some great photos, then followed with a walk along the beach surrounding the lighthouse. It was a trip that we will cherish for years to come.Written September 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rachel G85 contributionsThis was a fun day trip! We easily could have spent more time here but only chose to spend about half a day since we didn't bring a vehicle across on the ferry. We walked through the town and on a short hiking trail outside the town.Written July 8, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
