If you don\u2019t soak your brats in beer or have never been to a supper club, then you probably don\u2019t know what we\u2019re talking about, but you will by the end of this list.

Located in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/Milwaukee-Hotels.d602647.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Milwaukee<\/a>, the Holler House (2042 W Lincoln Ave) is a place that is so old school they still use human pin setters.

Gorge yourself on frozen custard<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-p6\"><span class=\"gmail-s1\">Another Wisconsin tradition you really need to get acquainted with is the insanely rich and delicious dessert known as frozen custard. It&#8217;s similar to ice cream, but it&#8217;s only recently this frozen wonder caught on outside state lines (thanks, Shake Shack). And while Wisconsinites may never agree on who has the\u00a0best frozen\u00a0custard, most will tell you it\u2019s far superior to regular old ice cream. Our local favorite is Kopp\u2019s Custard in the Milwaukee suburb of Glendale (5373 N Port Washington Rd).<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-p6\"><span class=\"gmail-s1\"><b>3. Drink copious amounts of brandy old fashioneds<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-p6\"><span class=\"gmail-s1\">Officially, the state drink is milk, but if Wisconsinites were allowed to have an official <em>mixed drink<\/em>, it would be the brandy old fashioned. If you grew up in Wisconsin, you likely have a predisposed affinity for brandy in your old fashioned rather than whiskey, but more likely you don&#8217;t even know an old fashioned any other way. We&#8217;re partial to the one served at the drink&#8217;s namesake bar, The Old Fashioned, located near the Capitol in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/Madison-Hotels.d602704.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Madison<\/a> <b>(<\/b>23 N Pinckney St).<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_64693\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64693\" class=\"size-full wp-image-64693\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/mustard.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/mustard.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/mustard-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/mustard-768x463.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/mustard-600x362.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/mustard-564x340.jpg 564w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-64693\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flickr CC: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bobbbylight\/9106304988\/\">Bobbylight<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"gmail-p6\"><span class=\"gmail-s1\"><b>4. Spread your love for Wisconsin over at the\u00a0National Mustard Museum<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-p6\"><span class=\"gmail-s1\">Of all the strange things you\u2019ll run into in Wisconsin, it doesn\u2019t get much more bizarre than the National Mustard Museum outside of Madison (7477 Hubbard Ave, Middleton). With over 5,300 jars of mustard from more than 60 countries around the world, its claim to fame is having the largest display of prepared\u00a0mustards and mustard memorabilia in the country. We owe this state treasure to Barry Levenson, a former Assistant\u00a0Attorney General\u00a0of\u00a0Wisconsin and owner of the museum&#8217;s initial 12 jars of mustard. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-p6\"><span class=\"gmail-s1\"><b>5.

Much of that history can still be seen today in places like the Pabst Mansion (2000 W Wisconsin Ave, Milwaukee) or the current Miller Brewery (4251 W State St), both offering tours (with beer, of course). Along with the old big breweries, a new generation of brewers\u00a0have\u00a0made Wisconsin a great place for beer again. There are plenty of microbreweries across the state to fill your trip and your glass, from Lakefront Brewery and Capital to New Glarus and Tyranena.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-64698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/waterpark.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/waterpark.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/waterpark-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/waterpark-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/waterpark-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/waterpark-509x340.jpg 509w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-p6\"><span class=\"gmail-s1\"><b>6.

Well, that actually happened. Noah\u2019s Ark Waterpark in Wisconsin Dells (1410 Wisconsin Dells Pkwy) is the largest in the United States and one of the best places to visit in Wisconsin. This massive water park spans more than 70 acres and is home to more than 50 H2O-filled rides and attractions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-p7\"><b>7.

If you find yourself in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/Green-Bay-Hotels.d1374.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Green Bay<\/a> area on a Sunday in the middle of winter, you owe it to yourself to check out the Packers and their one-of-a-kind tradition at Lambeau Field.<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-64696\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/accordion.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/accordion.jpg 1255w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/accordion-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/accordion-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/accordion-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/accordion-510x340.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-p15\"><span class=\"gmail-s1\"><b>13.

Since 1961, people in northern Wisconsin have strapped on snowshoes in the middle of July and ran around a saw dust covered diamond. As you might imagine, it\u2019s not the most graceful sport, but that\u2019s part of the fun. If you make it to the Northwoods of Wisconsin, you are not going to want to miss this must-see sport.
