If you don't have kids and aren't old not good 1 rating By Lacroix ( Jan 21, 2017) I have lived in the area for over ten years and yes it is kid friendly but only kid friendly. The people are very snobby and will treat you like your doing something wrong . If you don't have kids and are young you will constantly hear " there's A teen up too something " even if ...Read More your 30. The rent is $700 and up and the regular degree less jobs consist of fast food or factories and with the very high Mexican minority factor they get the jobs first because they know everyone. They cater to children and Mexicans here . The white people who live here bought there house is the sixties and like it because they're retired. All of the outings are very expensive and the only peoplet who base judgment on the stadium is visitors who can afford a game . Between being jobless a lot and winter expenses you won't be going out much. The whole city is completely unwAlkable and the buses don't cover much of it . It is not bike friendly at all unless you can afford a five hundred thousand dollar home . You could live in a similar slum apartment in other parts of the country for a lot less and better weather .

Green Bay, WI - Beautiful, Nature Filled Surroundings 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( Jun 23, 2010) Although I traveled to Green Bay to watch the Packers play football, I realized this city has so much more to offer. We were only in town for two days and were not able to see most of the area or attractions, but were amazed at what we did see. First, the Green Bay Packers' stadi ...Read More um, Lambeau Field is a great football experience. The Hall of Fame is at Lamabeau field is also a must see. The Walk of Legends, a one-mile stretch with 24 statues representing the Packers' history, is also great for football fans.

The rest of the city offers something fun for everyone. The Wellington Restaurant and Caffe Mario are wonderful places to dine. Both offer great food and a comfortable ambiance. We were able to visit the Green Bay Botanical Garden, which was more beautiful than any other place in the city, and Captain's Walk Winery. On the next visit to Green Bay we hope to visit the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary, a 700-acre wildlife refuge that features trails and live animal exhibits. Although we had hoped to stay at Cambria Suites, which is within walking distance of Lambeau Field, they were fully booked, so we enjoyed our night at the Residence Inn by Marriott. Read Less

      vs

      Green Bay, WI

      While Green Bay may not be Wisconsin's largest city, it might be its most well-known thanks to the Packers and the many football titles that the squad has won over the years. When the National Football League's Super Bowl trophy is named after the franchise's legendary coach Vince Lombardi, you know immediately that this is a town that is built on football. For the 100,000 plus who call the city home, it is a wonderful small town that offers a sense of community and purpose. If you want to live in a city that takes you back to a simpler time in American life, then Green Bay might be the perfect choice for you.

      Homes in Green Bay are affordable, and homebuyers will have a good selection of quality-built homes to choose from in multiple regions of the city. Green Bay has a good school system that makes it a popular choice for families with young children. As Wisconsin's oldest city, there is something special about Green Bay that will be seen immediately by any visitor who happens to drive by the football stadium as the sun is setting.

      Getting around town is easy as the city is laid out on a grid system with easy freeway access to the street's main thoroughfares. For those who do not want to travel by car or truck, there is also a public transit option that is fairly reliable and easy to navigate. The Green Bay Metro Transit network has over fifteen lines that run daily to get citizens to and from home, work, and all places in between.

      Bay Beach Amusement Park and Green Bay Botanical Gardens are two of the best sights to visit during the summer months when the temperatures are at their highest. The winter months in Green Bay can be extremely cold and snowy, but hearty locals do not let this get in the way of a good time as bratwursts, BBQ, and beer help locals brave the dark winter months. Schneider National, Shopko, and the Bureau of Land Management are some of the city's top employers.

      Green Bay is located less than one hour from Lake Michigan, and many residents love to sneak away on a Saturday in order to enjoy some time boating on the lake. Sundays are typically reserved for Packer football, although the early summer months do offer a chance to enjoy a long weekend on the lake without interrupting football viewing. Each May, the city hosts a marathon that attracts people from all over the region. Packers training camp is also a hot event as the players ride their bicycles to practice and sign autographs for adoring fans of all ages.
