Green Bay, WI — what a place! Summer is here. Enjoy all that Titletown in summer has to offer!

Have some fun in the sun on campus

Campus has a disc golf course, sand volleyball courts, Shorewood Golf Course and more than six miles of trails in the Cofrin Memorial Arboretum.

Blaze new trails

In addition to the Cofrin Memorial Arboretum, explore the many other trails in Green Bay!

Patio dining

Enjoy a meal in the open air and under the sunshine. A few locations in Green Bay with patios include: Titletown Brewing Company (recently named the nation’s best Brewpub!), Black Sheep Pub & Grill, Hagemeister Park, Noodles & Company, Smart Cow Yogurt Bar, Qdoba Mexican Grill and Mackinaws Grill & Spirits… to name a few.

Visit Bay Beach Amusement Park

Visit Green Bay’s waterfront amusement park. Bay Beach has free admission, is only a seven-minute drive from UW-Green Bay and tickets only cost .25 cents! There’s even a new ride this year… the Falling Star.

Back the Packers

Time spent in Titletown calls for a visit to the historic Lambeau Field. Take a guided tour, visit the Hall of Fame or enjoy a meal at 1919 Kitchen & Tap. There’s also the Heritage Trail and Packers Training Camp.

Get the Scoop

Get the Scoop is a summer staple on campus, occurring most Wednesdays from 11–1 p.m. at the Phoenix Rooms patio. Two scoops of ice cream for $2!

Dine in style during Green Bay Restaurant Week

July 13–20, many area resturants will offer special menu items at great values. It is a great chance to go out and try an new resturant or dish!

Get in touch with nature at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary

Explore the more than 700-acre wildlife refuge that is tucked amongst the urban world of Green Bay!

Take in beautiful blooms

A stroll through the Green Bay Botanical Gardens is a beautiful experience… Students with a student ID recieve a discounted price! Thousands of bulbs were planted during UW-Green Bay Make a Difference Day.

Work on your fitness at the Kress Events Center

This beautiful facility is free for students to use, and is home to a turf gym, weight room, cardio deck, rock wall, a pool and more. Stop by this summer to use the facilities or take a fitness class!

Visit a farmers’ market — two days a week!

Farmers’ markets take over Broadway on Wednesdays and S. Washington St. on Saturdays. Pick up a bite to eat, grocery shop or take in live music and the buzz of the city.

Get your firework fix

Festival Foods Fire over the Fox is a day-long celebration of independence day followed by fireworks on July 4 in downtown Green Bay.

Have a wild time at the NEW Zoo & Adventure Park

Feed giraffes, zipline and more — all at the NEW Zoo & Adventure Park!

Side note: How many Phoenix do you see?

Enjoy the City Deck

The City Deck, along the Fox River, is host to a handful of events — Nicolet Bank’s Dine on the Deck on Wednesdays at lunchtime, Associated Bank’s Fridays on the Fox, and more. It also has a kayak/canoe launch and makes for a great stroll along the river!

Meander through museums

Explore America’s railroad heritage at the National Railroad Museum, or visit a variety of historical exhibits at the Neville Public Museum.

Catch a Bullfrogs game

You don’t have to go far to watch some semi-professional baseball this summer. Check out the game schedule.

Dine with Morty

Lunch with Morty runs all summer on the first Thursday of each month. Enjoy food truck fair and Morty the Moose, a mural on Main Street.

Surround yourself with art

The ARTgarage has art galleries and art classes, and Artstreet (an event bringing together local and national artists) runs August 25–27.

Take a summer class

Need to squeeze in some extra credits, stay on track for graduation or want to use your summer more productively? Whatever your reason is, there could be a summer class that interests you. Learn more!

Watch the sunset on the bay

Campus land extends all the way to the Bay of Green Bay, and Communiversity Park provides an excellent sunset view!
