Kohler is a place where craftsmanship, culture, and nature meet in the most unexpected ways. And while our Kohler Village Segway Tour gives you an exhilarating front-row glide past some of Kohler’s most iconic sites—including the Waelderhaus, Kohler Design Center, and River Wildlife—there’s more to explore once your Segway powers down.
Here are five hidden gems that extend the magic.
1. Kohler-Andrae State Park: A Nature Escape Just Minutes Away
Quiet beaches. Towering dunes. A shoreline that feels untouched.
Kohler-Andrae State Park is one of Wisconsin’s most peaceful natural sanctuaries—perfect for unwinding after a glide through Kohler Village. Stroll the boardwalks, hike through the wooded dunes, or simply sit along Lake Michigan’s edge and let the waves do the talking.
Why it’s a hidden gem:
It’s a complete contrast to the luxury of the Village—wild, soft, calming, and stunning in every season.
2. The Waelderhaus: The Bavarian Treasure You Glide Past—Now Step Inside
You see it on the Segway Tour… but stopping in reveals another world.
Perched above the Sheboygan River, the Waelderhaus is a masterwork of Austrian-inspired craftsmanship. Inside, carved wood, intricate murals, and European design details come together to create a space that feels transported from the Alps.
Why you’ll love visiting after your tour:
Our Segway route gives you the perfect exterior introduction—visiting the interior completes the story. Free guided tours make it even better. Note their limited hours.
3. Kohler Design Center: Innovation You Glide By—And Can Explore Up Close
On your Segway, you get a sweeping view of this architectural icon.
But step inside, and you discover the soul of Kohler.
The Kohler Design Center is a three-level immersion into art, engineering, and world-class design. From gleaming fixtures to interactive galleries, it’s a playground for inspiration—whether you’re dreaming up a renovation or simply love craftsmanship.
Insider tip:
Don’t miss the lower-level museum showcasing Kohler’s history through decades of design innovation.
4. River Wildlife: A Rustic Culinary Hideaway in the Forest
Our Segway tour glides past the scenic roads and wooded areas surrounding this exclusive club—but the real magic happens once you walk through its doors.
River Wildlife is a private dining retreat tucked deep in the forest, accessible to Destination Kohler guests and members. The lodge-like setting, crackling fireplaces, and gourmet wilderness-inspired cuisine make it one of the most unique dining experiences in Wisconsin.
Why it’s worth visiting after your tour:
It’s the perfect reward for a day of exploration—quiet, refined, and unforgettable. Daily Memberships are available.
5. Kohler Swing Studio & Golf Shop: Fun Indoors, Any Time of Year
Located at The Shops at Woodlake, the Swing Studio is Kohler’s blend of sport and sophistication. Practice on state-of-the-art simulators, play a virtual round at world-famous courses, or shop for premium gear.
After your Segway ride, this is a great way to keep the energy up—especially for golf enthusiasts or families looking for something interactive.
