NFL travel news: Seven of the best things to do in Green Bay

Green Bay, Wisconsin, is a city forever tied to its NFL heritage, with the Packers at the heart of local life. 

But there is far more than just football in this small city, with plenty of history, charm and Midwest culture to discover. 

Here, Travel News Blitz’s Sam Condy breaks down seven of the best things to do during a trip to the home of the Packers

Lambeau Field

No visit to Green Bay is complete without stepping inside Lambeau Field.

Home to the Packers since 1957, the historic stadium is the oldest continuously used NFL stadium in America. 

As one of the most storied grounds in sports, a tour of the footballing cathedral and a trip to its museum is a must during a visit to the city. 

Packers Hall of Fame

Right next to the stadium sits the Packers Hall of Fame. 

It's packed with memorabilia, Super Bowl stories and tributes to the legends of the green and gold.

Titletown District

Across from Lambeau, Titletown is a modern development with restaurants, bars, a sledging hill, and outdoor spaces.

It’s built with its community in mind, and whether it's gameday or not, you can always expect a buzzing atmosphere in Titletown.

National Railroad Museum

One of the oldest railroad museums in the country, this attraction is filled with historic locomotives, including the Union Pacific Big Boy.

It gives a fantastic slice of the ever-important history of American transport. 

Bay Beach Amusement Park

A family favourite, Bay Beach offers old-school rides, rollercoasters, and lakeside views.

It’s affordable, charming, and one of Green Bay’s most enduring attractions.

Neville Public Museum

The public museum is something of a jack of all trades, offering exhibits on everything from art and science to local history and culture. 

If the weather is looking grim, an afternoon here will result in a day well spent.

Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary

A 600-acre refuge with trails, wildlife exhibits, and plenty of unique wild animals to spot.

It’s the largest green space in Green Bay, and if the sun's out, it's one of the city's best spots to get a few hours of fresh air. 

Summary

Green Bay may be the smallest city in the NFL, but it delivers big on history, culture, and family fun.

From the legendary Lambeau Field to lakeside amusement parks and wildlife trails, it’s a city with more to offer than just football - although that’s always at its heart.
