Fun, local park with a lighthouse. Park also had a mini amusement park for young kids. Great views of Lake Winnebago and the surrounding area. Beautiful views of the marina as well. Park is clean and well manicured. Bathrooms were not open on this visit.

Fun. Lighthouse Park has a miniature train, a kiddie tilt o whirl, and a carousel. Theres a park across the street with several playgrounds. I was disappointed the lighthouse was closed, so we couldnt go inside.

Wished we could still go to the top. Beautiful view. Only thing is the over growth of the plants around the seating. I make sure I come here every time I visit Fond du Lac. Great place to play Pokemon go

Beautiful family park. There are plenty of people out there walking on a beautiful day. And there are a lot of families fishing theyre too. In the enclosed deer pen there are a couple of newborn fawns. Unfortunately the train is not running nor the merry-go-round.

Its a wonderrest place the park has improved no gangs. The light house is a step back to the past, looking at it is calming. It makes u smile to see it. At night with the marina lights its breath taking.

A must see destination every Year. Beautiful views and great park history to see climbing up to the top. To bad its closed for covid-19 right now. First time I ever saw it closed. I pray they leave it as is and dont develop around it.

Great lighthouse with incredible views of the lake and surrounding areas. Nice place to have a picnic, or just sit and watch life go by! We went there around 10am on a Saturday morning in the Summer, and it wasnt very crowded. Lighthouse is open for climbing all day, and is a really fun experience.

The Fond du Lac Lighthouse is always a great place to visit. Hopefully it stays public and doesnt get demolished like it may.

Lakeside Park is the best park, its huge, full of places to hang out on a summer day. The lighthouse is a highlight of the park. Resting by Lake Winnebago is calming and exciting when people are boating. Lake Winnebago is mysterious.

Terrific Historical Site, You can step inside and Read about Fond Du Lac Harbor At every level when going up the stairs. When arriving at top. There is Magnificent Veiw of Lake Winnebago & City of Fond Du Lac. SunSets are worth the effort. By: Dano

The lighthouse in Lakeside Park is so pretty. You can see for miles from its top. Inside, there are pictures with written history about the park. Explore the large beautifully landscaped park and make sure you visit the lovely lighthouse. Right now the park us decorated for Christmas. During the summer its the perfect place to have a picnic and spend the day.

Lights are pretty. The no parking between 10pm to 4am sucks. I get out of work at midnight and like to stop and go while playing pokemon. Im always worried Im going to get pilled over for pulling over in no parking zones. Id walk... but... burrr!

The past meets the future ! Great views of Lake Winnebago, and cool history about the immediate area, on all 4 levels. And you can catch your breath if you just had dinner

Review №63

Its (the lighthouse) a logo for both the city and the county of fond du lac. No charge to go up to the top, maybe 70 and overlook lake Winnebago and the harbor. Never a crowd, will take you 10 minutes. There is a parking area adjacent. If youre a lighthouse enthusiast, its ok. But I wouldnt plan a day trip around it.
