Let\u2019s explore La Crosse<\/strong>, a pretty little city along the Mississippi River<\/strong> in Wisconsin. The river plays a large role in La Crosse\u2019s trading history, and it still anchors the city today with its beauty. My multigenerational family was enchanted by La Crosse\u2019s historic architecture, friendly small\u2011town vibe, and abundance of outdoor adventures. Here are the 10 best things to do in La Crosse<\/strong>, from the beautiful Riverside Park and local museums to scenic views from the surrounding towering bluffs.<\/p>\n

1. Riverside Park<\/h2>\n

Any visit to La Crosse should start in the beautiful Riverside Park<\/strong>. This sweeping green space stretches about 30 acres (12 ha) along the banks of the Mississippi River<\/strong>. This park sets La Crosse apart from other parks in Midwestern cities with its riverfront location, public art displays<\/strong>, and access to nature trails<\/strong>. Families will appreciate picnic spots<\/strong> throughout the park and a small children\u2019s playground<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Riverside Park is a hub of community activity<\/strong>. In the winter holiday season, it transforms into a glowing wonderland during Rotary Lights<\/a><\/strong>, featuring a live nativity, carriage rides, an ice skating rink, and free s\u2019mores. Every July, Riverfest<\/a><\/strong> entertains locals and visitors with food vendors, carnival rides, live music, fireworks, and more patriotic fun.<\/p>\n

One of the park\u2019s most recognizable features is the Riverside Park Bandshell<\/strong>, built in 1930 in Art Deco<\/strong> style. A summer concert series<\/strong> and year-round jazz orchestra performances<\/strong> keep the park jamming.<\/p>\n

2. International Friendship Gardens<\/h2>\n

As a travel enthusiast and botanic garden lover, my favorite part of Riverside Park is undoubtedly the whimsical International Friendship Gardens<\/a><\/strong>. This collection of globally themed gardens commemorates La Crosse\u2019s sister cities<\/strong> in France<\/strong>, China<\/strong>, Germany<\/strong>, Russia<\/strong>, Norway<\/strong>, Ireland,<\/strong> and Cameroon<\/strong>. What\u2019s more, these public gardens are free and open daily.<\/p>\n

3. Outdoor Recreation<\/h2>\n

The city of La Crosse is an outdoor lover\u2019s dream with its mix of riverfront beauty, easy\u2011access trails, and year\u2011round recreation. Visitors can enjoy miles of places to hike<\/strong>, bike<\/strong>, and paddle<\/strong>. Even in winter, the Great River State Trail<\/strong> becomes a popular route for cross\u2011country skiing<\/strong> and snowshoeing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Marsh Trail<\/h3>\n

One of the easiest ways to enjoy La Crosse\u2019s beautiful scenery is by wandering the Marsh Trail<\/strong>, a peaceful boardwalk path that begins inside Riverside Park. A wooden bridge leads you into the quiet wetlands of the La Crosse River Marsh<\/strong>, where lush greenery and the sounds of birds create a serene escape just steps from downtown. <\/p>\n

To explore La Crosse\u2019s miles of trails on two wheels, it\u2019s easy to rent a bike right from inside Riverside Park. Head to the Drift La Crosse Bike Share<\/a><\/strong> station near the riverboat dock<\/strong> to unlock a bike using their app. This simple, self\u2011serve system<\/strong> lets you cruise along to the scenic Marsh Trail and beyond.<\/p>\n

5. Historic Downtown La Crosse<\/h2>\n

If you like historical buildings<\/strong>, quirky shops, and walkable streets, you\u2019ll love Downtown La Crosse<\/strong>. Soak up the beauty of the city\u2019s Victorian architecture<\/strong> of the Steamboat Era<\/strong> as you stroll. Don\u2019t miss 7th Street S.<\/strong> with its brick storefronts and preserved facades. <\/p>\n

The downtown area is packed with inviting local businesses. In addition to typical retail stores and boutiques, this college town<\/strong> has an abundance of second-hand stores<\/strong>. Vinyl collectors like my teenage son will want to pop into Deaf Ear Records<\/a><\/strong>. Meanwhile, bookworms shouldn\u2019t miss Pearl Street Books<\/a><\/strong> with its array of new, used, and specialty books.<\/p>\n

Admire the Gothic Revival style of Saint Joseph the Workman Cathedral<\/a><\/strong> in the heart of La Crosse. It\u2019s made from local limestone<\/strong> and named for the husband of the Virgin Mary. The current cathedral was completed in 1962, replacing the original St. Joseph Cathedral, which had stood on the site since the 1860s. If you want to learn more about this church\u2019s history and role in La Crosse, come on Fridays at 4 pm for a free 20-minute guided tour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

7. Local Museums<\/h2>\n

La Crosse offers a fun mix of cultural attractions<\/strong>, including a few museums worth visiting, depending on your interests.<\/p>\n

Pump House Regional Arts Center<\/h3>\n

The Pump House Regional Arts Center<\/a><\/strong> is a great place to start. It\u2019s so-named because it\u2019s housed in the original 1880s municipal water-pumping station that once supplied the city with water drawn from the Mississippi River. This non-profit hub features three free Exhibition Galleries <\/strong>that display rotating local artwork for sale. There\u2019s also an on-site Art Studio<\/strong> offering classes in such mediums as pottery and printmaking, with one-day workshops <\/strong>sometimes available. The Performing Arts Theater<\/a><\/strong> hosts live music concerts, dance performances, festivals, film screenings, and more.<\/p>\n

Children\u2019s Museum of La Crosse<\/h3>\n

Families with little kids will love the affordable, non-profit Children\u2019s Museum of La Crosse<\/a><\/strong>. Three floors of interactive exhibits<\/strong> are designed for children ages 10 and younger<\/strong>. Kids especially appreciate the climb-aboard Fire Truck<\/strong>, the Kid Kwik Trip<\/strong> make-believe store, and the popular Mighty Mississippi<\/strong> water play zone.<\/p>\n

Car lovers can drive back in time to Dahl Auto Museum<\/a><\/strong> to learn about the history of automobiles<\/strong> and view an array of Ford cars<\/strong>, from a beautifully restored 1911 Ford Model T Roadster<\/strong> to a 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition, and beyond. Look for the Starlite Drive-In<\/strong>, a tribute to La Crosse\u2019s old drive-in theater that operated from 1949\u20131978. This museum is operated by Dahl Automotive La Crosse, the eighth-oldest Ford dealership under continuous family ownership in the U.S.<\/p>\n

In addition to cups, cones, and sundaes, you can purchase gourmet coffee drinks<\/strong>, chocolates<\/strong>, and candies<\/strong>. Pearl Ice Cream Parlor scoops dozens of flavors, from seasonal options<\/strong> like Lavender Honeycomb and year-round classics<\/strong> like Butter Pecan, to their local favorite, Salted Caramel.<\/p>\n

From the top of the bluffs, you can see downtown and the surrounding residential neighborhoods (including my nephew\u2019s house!), the Mississippi River, and bridges into Minnesota.

Why? Location, location, location<\/strong>! It\u2019s right beside Riverside Park, with easy walking access to downtown, and many rooms offer Mississippi River views<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Plus, the Radisson has an indoor pool<\/strong>, great for any time of year. And the on-site Three Rivers Restaurant & Bar<\/strong> serves breakfast (tasty!), lunch, and dinner with happy hour specials Tuesday through Friday.
