Such an interesting take on a museum. Every season changes, it's always engaging for any demographic. I've been coming here since I was a child and even into adulthood, it's always a different and fun experience.

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. There's so much to see and do at Old World Wisconsin, you could easily spend an entire day here. We highly recommend it!

The grounds are not open to the public during school programs so the driver would need to be included on the list of adult staff approved by the school. Please call us at (262) 594-6301 should you have additional questions.

What is the maximum amount of people

Juan Julian | Oct 28, 2019
DAVE BRASK | Oct 28, 2019

Agreed I think you could have busloads. But it might overwhelm the interior trolly system so you might need to walk it. I would call ahead for groups bigger than a single classroom.

Why is it impossible to get hold of You on the reservation line. All your voice message boxes are full. Tried to make reservations last week and no one ever called back. This is ridiculous and inefficient. No way to do business.

Hi why did old world wisconsin discontinue your Halloween dinner theater in October ? very much enjoyed that event

MARIANNA DWOSKIN | Oct 28, 2019
Old World Wisconsin | Oct 28, 2019

Hi Marianna. The former Halloween Dinner Theater experience evolved into our existing Halloween Legends and Lore event which will take place next Friday and Saturday evenings and the following Friday and Saturday. Legends and Lore utilizes the entire village as a series of stages on which a variety of Halloween stories can be brought to life and for a larger number of guests. We are currently considering the possibility of a Halloween-themed dinner returning in the future.

What does one adult admition cost?

Darryl Schutte | Oct 28, 2018
Steven Greenfield | Oct 28, 2018

It depends. If you have 4 or more people, buy the Wisconsin Historical Society annual pass. You'll better than break even on your second visit. Plan to visit more than once. It's a good, inexpensive place for family outings. The WHS pass also comes with 4 guest day passes. Nice to have when company is in town. The WHS pass also gets you into 8 other sites.
