1️⃣ Score Big on the Full-Size Football Field
What’s Special?

- Bring your own football for pickup games
- Join organized throwing contests
If you’re a family that revels in the excitement of football, the full-size football field in Titletown District is an experience you won’t want to miss.
One of the standout features is the field’s eco-conscious design; the infill is made from recycled Nike shoes, adding an innovative, sustainable element to your traditional football experience.
The field is not just for spectators; it’s designed for active participation. Whether you’re up for organized throwing contests or simply tossing a ball around with your kids, you’re encouraged to bring your own football and get into the game.
This offers a unique chance for young fans to imagine themselves in the shoes of their sports heroes while running on a real field, and provides a fantastic outlet for children (and adults) to expend some energy while enjoying America’s favorite pastime.
🏈 Pro Tip: Don’t forget to bring your own ball!
2️⃣ Unleash Kiddo Energy at the Playground
What’s Special?

- 40-yard dash with a timer
The playground at Green Bay’s Titletown District is not your average neighborhood play area; it’s a sprawling 36,000-square-foot space purposefully designed with a football theme to engage kids in physically active and imaginative play.
The equipment offers various levels of challenge and stimulation, catering to children of diverse ages and skill sets.
One standout feature that adds a unique twist is a timed 40-yard dash, offering kids (and perhaps some adventurous adults) the chance to test their speed just like professional athletes.
With football blocking pads, climbing structures, and open spaces for spontaneous games, the playground is a well-thought-out space that transforms the concept of “play” into a multidimensional experience.
It’s an ideal spot for families looking to keep their children active and entertained, all while soaking up the vibrant atmosphere of the Titletown District.

4️⃣ Roll and Tube on Ariens Hill
What’s Special?
- Sloped green space
- Kids were rolling down the hill and having a blast
- Amazing view at the top
Ariens Hill is one of those rare places that manages to be engaging and picturesque in any season.
During the warmer months, the hill’s sloping green space becomes a natural playground where kids and adults alike can be seen rolling down the slopes, running around, or simply enjoying the panoramic views at the top.
In winter, the hill transforms into a winter wonderland, featuring tubing lanes complete with a conveyor belt to transport your tube back to the top. Tubing passes can be purchased, and for safety, personal tubes and sleds are prohibited; guests must use the tubes provided by Titletown.
Whether you’re visiting in the balmy heat of summer or the crisp cool of winter, Ariens Hill offers an elevated (literally and figuratively) recreational experience that the whole family can enjoy.

Located within the Titletown District, 46 Below serves as a culinary haven for those looking for a cozy, family-friendly dining experience.
From burgers and wraps to salads and a children’s menu, the café offers a diverse array of options to satisfy even the pickiest eaters.
But what makes 46 Below truly special is its name—a historical nod to the legendary Ice Bowl, the 1967 NFL Championship game between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys, where the temperature plummeted to a frigid -46°F with wind chill.
The café captures this momentous piece of Packers’ history while providing a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Whether you’re looking to warm up with a cup of coffee or sit down for a meal, 46 Below is more than just a café—it’s a tribute to the enduring spirit of Green Bay football.

6️⃣ Family Restrooms
👨👩👧👦 Pro Tip:
- Well maintained family restrooms open to the public
- Located by the Titletown apartments on the far end of the football field
When you’re out and about with the family, knowing where to find clean, convenient restrooms can make or break your day. In Titletown District, they’ve got you covered with family-friendly restrooms that are not only spacious but also accessible.
These restrooms are located near the Titletown apartments, at the far end of the full-size football field. Unlike many public facilities that merely offer a changing table in a cramped space, these family restrooms provide enough room to comfortably manage diaper changes, toddler tantrums, or just a moment to regroup.
It’s one of those small but significant amenities that shows the planners of Titletown District really had families in mind. For those with young children, it’s a detail that can significantly elevate the overall experience of your day out.

A local institution that’s been delighting guests for decades, Kroll’s manages to embody the phrase “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
Their classic butter burgers and fries are the kind of comfort food that transcends generations, making it a hit with both young families and longtime locals.
But it’s not just the food that makes Kroll’s special. The walls are adorned with celebrity autographs and memorabilia tracing the Green Bay Packers’ storied history, adding a sense of nostalgia and community pride to your dining experience.
Eating at Kroll’s is like stepping into a living museum, one where the exhibits are delicious and the history is best consumed with a side of fries.

🔟 The Mom & Dad FYIs
Pro Tips:
- No strollers and diaper bags inside Lambeau Field
