Living in Wisconsin, we are surrounded by delicious dairy goodness such as a large variety of milk, cheeses, yogurts, and ice creams. The journey to creating those goods begins on a dairy farm, which families now have the opportunity to visit for an afternoon of learning and discovery on this fun day trip!
Interactive Exhibits about the Agricultural Industry at Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center
An Educational Farm Experience
Farm Wisconsin Discovery Center, located in Manitowoc, opened in July of 2018 as part of a $13 million project with a goal of encouraging agricultural appreciation and education. The center hosts 15,000 square feet of interactive and hands-on exhibits that kids of all ages can enjoy. Along with indoor exhibits, families are traditionally invited to tour a local farm, home to 2,700 dairy cows!

Late last year it was announced that Julia Nunes would keep her title as Alice in Dairyland for a consecutive year due to COVID-19. âIâm hoping that in this next year Iâll be able to do some of those things that I missed out on the first year, state fair, things like that,â Nunes said. This gives her another opportunity to share her story of passion for agriculture with the public. One of the ways sheâs been doing that is with a virtual farm tour of her parentâs dairy, which was released this week. Her family owns Scientific Holsteins in Chippewa Falls where they milk about 125 cows with Lely robots.
