Make the Most of Your Baraboo Stay

America's circus capital

Baraboo earned its reputation as the Circus City of the World when the Ringling Brothers established their winter headquarters here in 1884. Circus World occupies the original riverside site where the greatest show on earth was born, housing the world's largest collection of circus wagons and offering live performances throughout the season. The downtown courthouse square forms a nationally recognized historic district, where 92 late 19th and early-20th century buildings create an authentic Victorian streetscape that feels genuinely lived-in rather than manufactured for tourists.

Riverside dining and natural escapes

The Baraboo River corridor has evolved into an unexpected culinary destination, anchored by Driftless Glen Distillery's riverside fine dining and craft spirits. Devil's Lake State Park draws nearly 3 million annual visitors to its 500-foot quartzite bluffs and pristine lake, offering hiking and rock climbing that rivals destinations much farther from civilization. The International Crane Foundation provides a quieter counterpoint, where you can observe all 15 crane species.

Practical considerations

Most travelers arrive through Madison's airport 45 minutes south, and you'll need a rental car. The downtown square hosts summer concerts and community events that showcase small-town Wisconsin at its most welcoming.
