Holy Hill National Shrine of Mary - Scenic tower

It had been a few years since we last visited. We went on a Sunday afternoon in October, and it was…read morequite busy. We parked in a lower lot, and walked up the drive to get to the basilica and scenic tower. They had staff or volunteers managing the parking lot and traffic below. We waited about an hour to climb the scenic tower. The views from the line are quite lovely, and the weather was great so we didn't my mind. They were trying to manage the flow of people in and out and it was helpful but it was still quite crowded at the top and at times it was challenging to have 2 way traffic in the narrow stairways. The climb is not the easiest if you have issues with heights - the stairways are open in places (there is a sturdy railing) and you can feel the wind blowing quite a bit toward the top. If you have Issues with crowds or stairs it may not be the best activity, especially during peak visiting seasons. At the top we circled around and squeezed in to view the landscape below. The colors were not quite at peak but it was lovely all the same. The way down is slightly easier. We peeked into the chapel to view the stained glass windows - there is such ornate detail throughout - so much to see.

Holy Hill is exceptionally beautiful and well maintained. I love walking the grounds here,…read moreespecially during peak time in the fall. I attended mass here on Sunday, October 11, and it was memorable and truly beautiful. I was bummed the scenic tower didn't open until 4PM, so missed out on the scenic view from the top. Be sure to check the website ahead of time for hours. If you're visiting Wisconsin, whether religious or not, Holy Hill is a must-see! The grounds are also dog-friendly but pets are not allowed inside the buildings. I also ate lunch at the cafe and the egg salad and tuna salad were both good. Parking is easy, plenty of spots!

First time at the park. They were hosting a special fundraiser that included an art fair, with lots…read moreof vendors to browse. We strolled around for an hour or so, picked up some beautifully crafted felted soap, enjoyed a couple of pork sliders, and listened to live music. It made for a very enjoyable afternoon. We'll definitely have to come back another time to explore the historic buildings.

Went to their Thresheree and Harvest Festival which was amazing. This would be fun to do in a group…read moreor alone. I opted to go by myself, which was nice because I could walk and read at my own pace. Parking was ample. Their are wooded walking trails with scenic stops. I started with the informative Feed Mill. Staff was abundant for questions but they had well marked signs all over. I wandered through a war camp (?) which was not as well marked but they were starting to tear down so maybe the signs went first. Next I checked out the General Store, another camp setup, two farm homes, followed by the sugar shack where they sold Maple Cotton Candy. Let me tell you, this is the elite flavor of cotton candy. There were also stands with food, beverages (unclear if they sold beer), and novelties. They had a silent auction, raffle, and antiques. Plenty of activities for kids but it is a bit of walking. It took about 3,000 steps to do the full loop. I am definitely headed back with a group to attend their Blacksmith Day on October 7th.
