I live near this lighthouse and never get tired of looking at it. It is open periodically for the climb to the top. The views were stunning. More

Next time you need a family photo or a photo of your children, grap your camera, tripod, don't forget the family. I was recently going through photos and the best ones had the Lighthouse in the backround. Lake Michigan is beautiful every season. It is a beautiful Wind Point landmark. Elizabeth Stevenson More

We were staying in Racine, WI and found this lighthouse online. We stopped by and it was worth it. It's situated in a lovely little park right on the lake. As one who lives on the ocean, it was a new experience to be at the shore of one of the Great Lakes. The place was quiet...a great place to... More

We always take our visitors here on the start of our tour of Racine....and they are often amazed. This is the most painted and sketched scene in Racine by artists. And it is indeed lovely....intimate, historic and easy to enjoy. More

We love the Wind Point lighthouse. The grounds and beach are beautiful. The lighthouse was recently painted and won a contest for new windows. The volunteers that run the tours on specific dates are so informative and it has a nice little gift shop when it is open. Bring a picnic and enjoy a wonderful relaxing time with a beautiful... More

The Lighthouse and grounds are in excellent conditions. A great place to take kids and explain why lighthouses were needed to aid navigation before the days of GPS. More

The view from the top is fantastic. If you like history and climbing the spiral staircase, watch for the tours that are conducted by the preservation society. Reservations are required. More

As odd as this sounds, this is like the neighborhood lighthouse. It's a city icon, perfectly maintained and very well visited. You can tell that those to come, love to be there. The light isn't open to the public for tours as other lights are. It is for special occasions, though. You can picnic, collect rocks, watch the waves, bird... More
