Looking for a full day of action in Lake Geneva without the downtown hustle and bustle? With all free parking and less than 1.5 hrs of total drive time all day, family fun around Lake Geneva doesn’t get any easier than this! Choose a hotel with complimentary breakfast, like Fairfield, Lake Geneva, then head out to make some animal friends at Safari Lake Geneva. Stop by Next Door Pub for a bit of lunch, then arrive for the biggest adventure of your vacation at Lake Geneva Ziplines & Adventures. After that, enjoy dinner and a sunset at Pier 290 followed by craft beer and live music on the farm at Duesterbeck’s Brewing Company. You’ll be amazed by what the Lake Geneva area has to offer outside of downtown!
First, book your stay at the Fairfield, Lake Geneva. Each room not only comes with family-friendly amenities such as the pool, extra beds, and an in-room microwave and fridge, but also comes with $30 off your reservation at LGZA! You’ll receive your LGZA discount code from the Fairfield upon hotel check-in, then you can book your adventure online here using the code at checkout.
After a filling breakfast buffet at the Fairfield, your adventure begins just 11 minutes away at Safari Lake Geneva. Make an early reservation to ensure enough time to learn about all the animals, and be sure to check out the new Capybara exhibit!
After a morning of learning about and feeding all kinds of animals, chances are you and your crew have worked up an appetite again yourselves. Time to stop for lunch at Next Door Pub on the way to your next adventure at LGZA! 12 minutes from the safari, Next Door Pub has a huge menu famous for its stone hearth fired pizza with something for everyone, even the pickiest eaters. Enjoy a delicious lunch on the patio with family in a casual pub setting.
Your next stop really is just next door. Four minutes down the road, you’ve arrived in Lake Geneva’s backyard for the biggest thrill of your trip: the Full (9-line) Zipline Tour at Lake Geneva Ziplines & Adventures! Check in at the Welcome Center, then sit back and relax on the patio or play some lawn games together. The Guides are ready and your tour is about to begin! Our professional Guides take care of everything on tour from start to finish. We’ll handle all your gear, drive you up to course, teach you everything you need to know about ziplining, tell dad jokes, and can even offer some emotional support to those with a fear of heights.
Your Full Zipline Tour experience will consist of 8 unique ziplines within the beautiful Wisconsin canopy, along with 4 spiral staircases and 5 sky bridges. Once you’ve emerged from the Oak and Maple treetops on the final sky bridge of the tour, Lake Como comes into view as you climb the launch tower of the 1221’ Dual Racing Zipline. Decide who you’re going to race, place your bets… Ready, set, GO! Whether you won or lost your race, you’ll leave your Full Zipline Tour with priceless family memories and a smile.
The Full Zipline tour lasts about 2 hours and is pretty extensive, so by now it’s dinner time. Stop back at the Welcome Center to grab a snack for the road, and head over to Pier 290 for dinner on the lake, 15 minutes away in Williams Bay. Pier 290 has a beautiful outdoor dining area right on the beach creating a unique space to enjoy dinner with family. Featuring a variety of seafood and other chef-curated dishes, you’re in for a satisfying lakeside dinner at Pier 290.
It’s been an incredible day outdoors with family, but your trip to Wisconsin just wouldn’t be complete without some live music and a beer on the farm. After all, “lake life” isn’t the only thing our region has to offer! Venture 20 minutes into the countryside to Duesterbeck’s Brewing Company, neighboring Lake Geneva in Elkhorn, WI. On their 5th generation family farm, the Duesterbecks family brews over 20 different styles of craft beer, and has a very unique space to enjoy it. Explore Duesterbeck’s taproom, pavilion, brewery, gift shop, hops yard, and don’t miss live music on the patio Saturday nights! Duesterbeck’s also partners with the LG Beer Garden at Lake Geneva Ziplines & Adventures, so be sure to check that out the last Saturday of June, July, August, and September to zip, then sip!
Now it’s time to settle back in at the Fairfield and start dreaming about your next trip to Lake Geneva. Stay at the Fairfield again before LGZA’s $30 off per room partnership expires at the end of 2025, and save on the Dual Racing Zipline, Short (4-line) Zipline Tour, Bonus (5-line) Zipline Tour, or the High Ropes Course at Lake Geneva Ziplines & Adventures.
