    Great tour of the administration building and research tower designed by FLW. Really impressive building and architecture- so great that the Johnson family provide these tours and are preserving the history.

    Another FLW gem! We loved the tour, especially the film with the Johnson children who grew up in the home. It added so much more to the experience.

    We really loved the beach. It was nice to see that you can go further and still not too deep. My 9 year old daughter enjoyed it the most. It was also great to see my son seems like running on the water. We all had a great time!

    This place is the best. I have been here quite a few times. My father, who passed away the end of April, loved this farm. I have had many of the vegetables including bell peppers, onions, corn, eggplant, squash and the best is the corn. It is so sweet and so fresh. This is just a roadside produce stand, but incredibly fresh, and the best prices. Plus, it is just amazing to be able to buy produce that was picked the same day. It is a bit of a drive for me, so I have never had their fruit. They don’t always have strong bags, so you may want to bring your own. We have met some of the farmers, and they are very nice. It is just so nice to know that places like this still exist. Even the customers are just happy so it’s just a great experience.

    This building could have fit a bit more than what they have. The Former Carnegie Library is pretty spacious - you are probably familiar with that type of a building, they all look very similar across the land. But the museum is still a gem, for those who enjoy this kind of a stuff. My favorite is what I call "Little Streets" - fake hose fronts with rooms inside, usually businesses like barbers, dentists etc. that you can enjoy by peeking through the faux windows. Oftentimes, there are mannequins in there, to add some doze of a realism. At this museum, the "Little Streets" are very small - no match to the likes of Milwaukee Public Museum, for example. But I didn't see it advertised anywhere, so it was a pleasant surprise to come across the "Little Streets" at this museum.

    We visited on a "First-Friday" in August and they had a make-your-own activity on the back patio. The kids and I made drawings as if we were looking out a submarine window, which was a great way to get them involved in art.

    We've been to the Racine zoo twice, once as a couple and 10 years later with our 2 kids, 5 and 7. This is a nice, small zoo and a great way to spend a few hours in Racine. The kids loved feeding the giraffes, feeding the birds and the train ride, as well playing on the playground.

    I also highly recommend visiting the zoo beach!

    Hiking trails through wooded areas, along the river, boardwalks through swampy areas, canoes and kayaks available for rent. There is also an education center indoors and an outside ampitheater. It's one of my favorite places to hike in spring and fall.

    My niece has a sailboat here. This is a very clean facility. Various locked entrances. A little store that offers ice cream and a delightful walk around to the point where the boats enter marina from Lake Michigan. I stayed at nearby hotel so was able to walk here. Private pool area for marina slip owners. I was very impressed.

    I was recently lucky enough to see the Wizard of Oz at the Racine Theatre Guild that was really excellent! There was an outstanding lion, tin man, and scarecrow. A perfectly cast set of characters included Dorothy, Aunt Em, Uncle Henry, and Wizard of Oz. The music, direction, and choreography were incredible! It was a brilliant show from start to fsnini ,
