- FEATURES
- The Wisconsin Pavilion features an outdoor theme and displays the state's assets from fishing to beer and from logging to cheese.
- The Wisconsin Rotunda is a glass tepee-shaped building significant of the state's Indian lore background. The rotunda is 48 feet in diameter and 46 feet high topped by a spire lettered "Wisconsin" which soars 80 feet above the grounds. This uniquely designed building features evergreens and waterfalls which make the rotunda a place of beauty. It also features the official state exhibit and displays by the state department on Wisconsin's recreational, agricultural and industrial opportunities.
- The Exhibit Pavilion, a rectangular building behind the rotunda, features displays of outstanding manufactured products shown in every manner and form blended together in individual themes with Wisconsin's vast recreational, agricultrual and industrial facilities.
- A 17-ton Cheddar Cheese, said to be the world's largest cheese, is displayed to exemplify Wisconsin's role as the cheese manufacturing center of the nation.
- A restaurant, decorated in a "Gay 90's" motif, features steaks, flame grilled to your individual taste. Included in the low-priced serve-yourself dinner is a salad, baked potato and garlic toasted roll.
- Wisconsin's brewing industry is brought to the consumer in the form of the old-fashioned beer garden with the typical sawdust floor, chilled steins and banjo music. Bratwurst and Thueringer is on the menu with Milwaukee potato salad. Terraces furnish a place for outdoor dining near a reflecting pool where fly casting, retriever-dogs, Indian archery and log-rolling offer visitors a sample of Wisconsin's Fun. A trout stream stocked with trout awaits fishermen.
