About this English self-guided 1h:33m driving tour in Green Bay
Welcome to Green Bay, and thanks for exploring the city with UCPlaces.
This self-guided driving tour will take you through some of Green Bay’s most important and interesting areas — from the legendary world of the Packers to the calm beauty of the Fox River, historic neighborhoods, downtown culture, and waterfront parks.
Expect a relaxed pace. This tour is designed to enhance the drive, not distract from it. At times we’ll share stories, history, and fun facts, and at other moments we’ll give you space to simply enjoy the road and the scenery. Please always drive safely and follow traffic laws.
Along the way, we’ll pass famous landmarks like Lambeau Field, quieter places like historic cemeteries and river crossings, and lively spots downtown — including theaters, museums, trails, and parks. We’ll cross the Fox River several times, each from a different perspective, showing how central it is to Green Bay’s identity.
The tour finishes downtown, with an optional final stop at the Green Bay Botanical Garden for those who want to end on a calm, scenic note. If you choose to skip that last stop, you’ll still have experienced the heart of the city.
You can pause the tour anytime, take detours, or stop for food, photos, or a walk — just resume when you’re ready.
Let’s get started and see what makes Green Bay special — beyond the stadiums.
Alright folks, get ready to feel the electricity! Coming on your right is the Lambeau Field, the hallowed grounds where legends are made and where the heart of Green Bay truly beats. This isn't just a stadium; it's a monument, a living piece of NFL history. Opened in 1957 as 'City Stadium,' it was renamed Lambeau Field in 1965 to honor the team's founder, player, and first coach, Earl 'Curly' Lambeau. He was instrumental in creating the Packers back in 1919 – talk about a legacy!
This stadium is famously known as the 'Frozen Tundra,' a nickname coined during a brutal NFL Championship game against the Dallas Cowboys on December 31, 1967, forever etched in history as the 'Ice Bowl.' Coach Vince Lombardi led the Packers to victory that day, solidifying his legendary status and the team's dynasty. Speaking of Lombardi, his spirit is palpable here; his coaching philosophy built the Packers into a powerhouse, winning five NFL championships, including the first two Super Bowls in 1967 and 1968.
What makes Lambeau truly special is its unique public ownership structure – the Packers are the only major professional sports team in the United States owned by its fans. Imagine that! From Bart Starr's game-winning sneak in the Ice Bowl to Brett Favre's gunslinger heroics and Aaron Rodgers' incredible arm, this field has seen it all.
It’s the longest continuously occupied stadium in the NFL, a testament to its enduring significance. Even on a non-game day, you can feel the echoes of cheering crowds. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just curious about American sports culture, Lambeau Field is an essential stop, offering stadium tours and a truly unique connection to football's storied past.
Get ready to turn right, but first, coming on your left, you'll see the Titletown District, a modern gathering place built right next to Lambeau Field. Designed to be more than just a game-day destination, this area stays lively year-round with restaurants, open green space, and seasonal events.
You might notice the large green, slide-like hill rising in front of you — that’s Ariens Hill. In the winter, it’s used for snow tubing and sledding, and in the warmer months it becomes a grassy spot where people relax, play, and enjoy views of Lambeau Field. It’s a great example of how Titletown blends recreation with design.
Whether it’s football season or not, Titletown is a place where locals and visitors gather to hang out, grab a bite, and soak in the energy of Titletown USA.
If you have time later, this is a perfect place to stop, stretch your legs, and explore.
