The Most Unique Lake Geneva Attractions

Lake Geneva is filled with exciting things to do and see. While some things to do in Lake Geneva might be more typical—boating, hiking, or skiing—plenty of other activities around the city can bring a sense of whimsy and fascination to your vacation.


We’d love to share what sets Lake Geneva apart from other getaway trips. Take a look at some of these specialties and book the one you think is right for you.

Lake Geneva Balloon Company

Address: N3241 Co Rd H, Lake Geneva, WI

Hours: 11AM - 7PM


A vacation should leave you soaring emotionally, but maybe also physically. One of your best opportunities to fly high in the sky is by booking a ride on a hot air balloon. You’ll have an awe-inspiring view of the Wisconsin lakes, mountains, and the city below.


Because it gets cold and windy on the balloon rides (even in the summer), make sure you bring warm clothing. A balloon ride can make for a fun romantic excursion or a cool trip for the whole family.


Scooter Tours

Address: 7036 Grand Geneva Way, Lake Geneva, WI

Contact: 262-684-3523


See the town of Lake Geneva from a whole new perspective. Rent a scooter from this accessible rental place, and ride through around Lake Geneva or through the Spring Valley rolling hills. Scooter tours are highly affordable and fun to ride.


Lake Geneva Ziplines and Adventures

Address: N3232 Co Rd H, Lake Geneva, WI

Hours: 9AM - 4PM


Do you crave adrenaline every single day? Test out the thrilling zipline course, rock climbing course, and expert ropes experience at Lake Geneva Ziplines and Adventures. At the very least you can walk through the Trail Pass for some difficult and beautiful hiking trails onsite.


Tristan Crist Magic Theatre

Address: 100 Edwards Blvd, Lake Geneva, WI

Schedule: Weekends 2PM and 5PM


Guests who want to make their trip a bit more magical should visit the Magic Theatre here in town. Every weekend, professional magicians show off their skills of illusion to the bewilderment of their audiences. Check out the show schedule and book a seat at this intimate concert venue.


The Candle Mercantile

Address: 870 W Main St, Lake Geneva, WI

Hours: 11AM - 6PM


Craft your own souvenir at The Candle Mercantile. This romantic and adorable boutique allows you to make a custom candle with your loved one. There’s over 90 different scent options that may appeal to you. After you’ve decided which fragrance makes you the most happy, you’ll be able to pour the candle and bring it home.


Lake Geneva Boat Tours

Address: 812 Wrigley Dr, Lake Geneva, WI

Hours: 9AM - 4:30PM


Are you not one for captaining your own boat, but still want a chance to ride the waves of Geneva Lake? You may want to take a boat tour on one of the private charters that regularly sail out on the water.


Some of these tours are focused on the social aspect—with cocktails and ice cream on deck to enjoy. Others are historically oriented and grant you access to some of the historic mansions like Black point Estate. No matter what you’re interested in, a boat tour on the lake is a must-do activity for everyone who visits our corner of Wisconsin.


Dancing Horses

Address: 5065 WI-50, Delavan, WI

Hours: 10AM - 5PM


Watch horses and their riders perform tricks to the beat at the Dancing Horses Theatre. Located in Animal Gardens, we encourage you to read our other article about these local zoos if you’re interested.
