Oh Door County - how I love to visit you at any time of year…read more In the spring/summer/fall, Door County is bustling with activity with all the tourists. All the shops and restaurants are open. Parking can be a pain but if you don't mind walking, you can park further away from the place you are going to. There are plenty of parks that you can go and explore. It is super beautiful during the spring & summer but especially in the fall when the leaves change color. In winter, there is less to do but it's nice place to get away if you don't mind just spending some quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of life. The wineries always seem to be open so you can get your Door County wine anytime you want! I would recommend everyone to visit Door County once.

On our most recent visit in…read moreSeptember of 2021, all of Door County was more crowded than usual for mid-September and so we weren't surprised to find the parking lot by the new visitor center completely full. We went around the corner to the old, now unmarked, parking area and found the signs to the trails were still there! Yay! We assumed it was still OK to park here, and the signs provided some reassurance. The park is as peaceful as ever, and they have now finished the restoration of one of the lighthouses and are letting visitors in. The late fall wildflowers were lovely. Don't miss this peaceful place for a woodsy walk in Door County.

That is, with the exception of a nature preschool that was hiking through the snowy woods, playing and exploring as they went. I was informed later that Door County (or perhaps the town or state) subsidizes nature preschool, so anyone who wants to attend can attend for free. I love that! Apparently, this preschool uses the sanctuary as one of their spots to learn outdoors. I did a lot of learning as I explored Ridges Sanctuary, as well. I started off at the nature center and checked out their little exhibit area, which shows information about Bailey's Harbor and the critters, flora and fauna that call the area home. The 1,600-acre natural preserve has five miles of trails and bridges that lead to the Bailey's Harbor Range Lights. One cool thing about the park is that it has a wooden boardwalk that is ADA-compliant and accessible for people who use wheelchairs. The boardwalk is wide and even, and it will take you all around the park, and even to to a spot with great views of the lighthouse. The preserve grounds and nature center are free, so this is definitely a great place to visit when you're in Door County.

We booked the shortest cruise of the day because we couldn't predict the tolerance level of our children. We got to see several of the offshore islands and the Eagle Bluff Lighthouse. The cost was very reasonable, especially with a mix of ages: $29 for adults, seniors $27, and only five bucks for children under 12! That was a really nice surprise. As it happened, we could have done a longer tour because everyone loved it. Each row of seats has a laminated map and a pair of binoculars, which are very handy. The boat was comfortable and they thought of pretty much everything.

First, it was FUN! Beyond the fun it was informative. We had no idea of the historical significance of Manitowoc in terms of ship building and the war effort during WW I and WW II . This could easily be expanded to 3 hours by extending the ride along the waterfront all the way to Two Rivers, incorporating an optional stop at the bright pink ice cream shop! We did ride our bikes to Two Rivers and back. The Mariner's Trail is a lovely path this tour takes. Makes this excursion not just fun, but scenically beautiful as well. We highly recommend doing the Segway tour with Segway the Door.

We happened to show up on the weekend they were honoring the 150th anniversary of the Peshtigo Fire. We caught the last few minutes of a talk and then saw a new video they made about the fire. It was very good and very informative. If not for the movie the center itself was a bit underwhelming. I was hoping for more having been to the excellent Luxembourg-American museum in Belgium Wisconsin (go figure out that one). [You must be wondering do I only tour Wisconsin-based museums of small Northern European countries. No but my wife is of Luxembourg descent so that is why...] Anyway the people were friendly and the few displays were interesting I was just expecting a bit more content.
