The Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center

Share in the wonders of farming at Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center--named among Time for Kids' 50 Coolest Places of 2019. Spend a day as a family or group exploring interactive exhibits, seeing a local farm first-hand through a bus tour, or experiencing the miracle of birth in the cow birthing barn. Have breakfast or lunch in the farm-to-table café, or book your group outing in the conference center, and be sure to save room for ice cream and other treats in the center's gift shop. Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center is conveniently located off Interstate 43 on the way to Door County and--when Coronavirus is not an issue--open daily from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Take the short drive from Milwaukee or Green Bay, Wisconsin to let your curiosity grow.
