Wisconsin's Best Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Quote:
We stayed in Fish Creek, one of eight small communities that offer good food, shopping, and beautiful scenery. Peninsula State Park is the third largest Wisconsin State Park. It offers a wide range of activities from hiking to biking to boating to swimming. If you wish to experience a traditional Door County fish boil, one of the best is located at the Old Post Office Restaurant. A very entertaining evening was spent at the Peninsula Players Theatre, America's oldest professional resident summer theatre. If fishing is your sport you can do fishing from the many docks or charter a salmon fishing excursion on Lake Michigan. Shop 'til you drop is definitely part of Door County's attraction for me.

The Old Post Office Restaurant is the place to visit for an evening of a traditional Fish Boil. Be sure to arrive early to watch outdoors behind the restaurant the "boil fish master" create the "boil over," which signals that the catch is ready to serve. The menu for this traditional feast included boiled whitefish, small red potatoes, small white onions, a variety of fresh homemade lemon, pumpkin, and rye breads.

This open sided theatre is unique because it is in a beautiful setting. If you arrive early enough you can stroll along the shores of Green Bay as the sun is setting, or you can relax on one of the chairs or benches that are amongst the trees in the cedar woods.

The Peninsula Players are a group of professional actors and portray their assigned character with enthusiasm. Both times we have attended, we had a very enjoyable and entertaining evening.
