Original Home of the Great Outdoors

It's very possible the saying "great outdoors" was coined right here in Greater Green Bay. But beyond stunning beauty, there are plenty of opportunities for fun and excitement both indoors and out, all year-round.

To say that Greater Green Bay's outdoor recreational opportunities are abundant is an understatement. We value our location on the map, and take full advantage with four seasons of fun.

Weather or Not

Local Sports Get National Attention

Get into the spirit of community by joining the lively crowds that support our local sports teams. Our dedication to the world-famous Green Bay Packers is legendary, but we also cheer on other high-caliber professional and collegiate sports teams including the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Fighting Phoenix, St. Norbert College Green Knights, Arena Football's Green Bay Blizzard, Green Bay Bullfrogs Baseball and the United States Hockey League's Green Bay Gamblers.

Just a Daytrip Away

An added bonus of living in Greater Green Bay is our convenient proximity to other great Midwest locations. We're just a short car ride away from vacation hot spots Door County, Madison or Milwaukee. Even Chicago and Minneapolis are just a daytrip away.

The Thrill of the Hunt

The majestic North Woods are also just a short car ride away from Greater Green Bay. Many area sportsmen (women and age-appropriate children included) enjoy bird, deer and small game hunting during our plentiful hunting seasons.
