Getting here
Let's get you here.
Milwaukee Mitchell
Easiest airport overall, and the drive west is straightforward.
Dane County / Madison
Similar drive, smaller airport, sometimes better fares. Check both.
Rental car, no question 🚗
You're between three metros with nothing in walking distance. Get a car at the airport.
All drive times are approximate — traffic gets a vote.
Stay
Sleep well.
A few places we'd recommend when you're in town.
Hampton Inn Madison
Concur Most Preferred. The nearest contract hotel, with plenty of dinner options.
Hampton Inn Fort Atkinson
Off-contract, but the closest hotel to the plant when you want a short morning drive.
Book through Concur — it stays the system of record.
Eat & drink
Hungry?
Skip the endless scrolling. Here are a few places we'd actually recommend.
Second Salem Brewing Company
Downtown Whitewater's best casual dinner. Easy and on-budget.
SweetSpot Cafe
Coffee and a sandwich for well under the lunch limit.
Fort Atkinson supper clubs
Wisconsin tradition. Go at 5 PM or plan to wait.
Cafe Carpe
Riverside cafe with live music most nights. Charming and cheap.

Got some time?
If you've got a free evening, here are a few places worth checking out.
Kettle Moraine State Forest — Southern Unit

Walmart Supercenter
The full-stock option in town.
Walgreens
Basics and anything you forgot to pack.
Good to know
A few things the locals know.
Winter
Rural roads drift shut fast in a storm. Check conditions before an early drive.
College calendar
UW-Whitewater move-in and graduation weekends fill area hotels.
Fuel
Fill up in town — options thin out on the county roads.
Local tip
The Kettle Moraine trails start right outside town — worth an hour if the weather cooperates.
