Summer Favorites
Try these local options for fun in the sun this summer.
Bay BeachLooking for outdoor fun this summer? Head over to Bay Beach amusement park for rides, concessions, and more! Home of the Zippin Pippin (a 2,500 feet long roller-coaster with a top height of 70 feet) this amusement park is perfect for a quick fix of thrill. Other top rides include the Sea Dragon, Scrambler, and the Ferris wheel. Hours vary due to staffing issues, but visit their website to check updates, information on rides, and pictures of the park. Kayaking on CampusLooking for something quick and inexpensive to do this summer? Stop by the Marinette campus to rent a kayak and go on a peaceful paddle. Who doesn’t love a day on the water? It is as easy as filling out an equipment rental form and taking off. Spend your day enjoying the beauty of the water without having to leave town! Fill out the rental form to reserve yours, and someone from campus will meet you to give you your kayak and equipment. Farmers’ Market on BroadwayNothing says summer like a farmers’ market. This year, Green Bay is hosting their annual Farmers Market on Broadway every Wednesday, May 25th to September 28th, 3 p.m. – 7 p.m. Stop by to see over 90 local vendors and listen to great live music. Get everything from fresh grown vegetables to soups and jewelry. It’s also a great place to get a bite to eat and hang out with a group of friends. Take a look at their website to learn more! Studio 1212This restaurant is the PERFECT place to get a latte on a sunny summer afternoon or a delicious meal while enjoying a beautiful view. Studio 1212 offers a gorgeous outdoor seating area as well as made-to-order food! My favorite thing about this place is they don’t use deep fryers in an effort to make healthy food for their consumers. Their menu is a bit pricey but worth every cent. Stop in from Tuesday – Thursday, 4 p.m. – 9 p.m. or Friday and Saturday, 4 p.m. – 10 p.m. To see pictures of the restaurant and its stunning view, view the full menu, or make a reservation, visit the website.
