cranberry discovery center

We did the Museum tour on Thursday, October 16th. We were greeted by a very lovely and bubbly lady, we paid our admission and proceed to the lower level. The DVD was suppose to be on a loop but it was not and we could not get it started so we toured the rest of area and then informed the lady, she was able to get it started so we watched it. We were looking for some unique food gifts but unless you like cranberry wine or chocolate covered cranberries there were none. I was hoping for some homemade cranberry jam or jelly or something different made. There were also cranberry jewelry, glassware etc but this is not what we were looking for. Maybe their inventory was down because Cranberry Festival was the weekend of September 27 & 28. When we called they told us to block 1 1/2 - 2 hours but we were done in probably 1/2 hour. We were offered to do wine tasting but since we really do not care for any type of wine, we passed. We toured it, it was okay. We were going to tour of Glacial Lake Cranberries, Inc. on October 17th but the weather was not good at all so we will put that on our bucket list for 2015.

This is not a year round active. We arrived on a Friday and it was closed. So sad and that was the only thing to do there. We are back out on the road.

We learned so much from the Chuck at the center, a local cranberry farmer. What a quaint area, who knew that much about cranberries? Now we do. The annual festival was full of venders we got some yummy cranberry ice cream and cranberry coffee.

There's a museum on the lower level, cost for adults $4, seniors $3.50. Traces the history of cranberries & their place in America. Interactive areas for kids. Video explaining the history. We were enlightened & learned a lot. Would recommend, it's worth your time. On the 1st floor is a gift shop w/many cranberry items, wine, soap, candles, shirts, coffee, ice cream etc. Very fun.

We just attended the Warren Cranberry Festival this weekend (it runs the last full weekend in September). I have never seen so many vendor booths in my life. There must have been hundreds of booths selling every imaginable thing. Not as many cranberry themed foods as I would have liked but tons of taste-tests of other foods plus clothing, art, jewelry, etc. Worth the trip!

We took a few days off and headed to Warrens to check out the Cranberry culture, stopped at the Cranberry Discovery Center and were treated like crap by the employees, they were extremely rude and made us very sorry we chose this area instead of the WI Rapids area, we chose not to buy anything from them due to their behavior, we will go to the Rapids and see if that area is any nicer, we had lots of cash to spend on gifts, but refused to spend it in a place that is so rude to customers, their behavior even made us canx our planned trip for the cranberry fest the upcoming weekend.

We came here with some friends the little gift shop was nice but out of alot of products. We did taste some wine and bought some. The museum was very interesting but was hoping to actually get out and see something.

Everything you've ever wanted to know about the history of cranberry growing, harvesting, and more. Great video and museum displays. The gift shop has samples and you can do a cranberry wine tasting and buy homemade cranberry ice cream. Really enjoyed this stop and followed it with a drive past the cranberry bogs.

Very nice to see how cranberries are grown/picked and sold to us-esp for Thanksgiving-really enjoyed the "smart" intelligent people who helped us with questions/and information we would of never known-love pictures-on display

We enjoyed a short visit to the Cranberry Discovery Center as we were traveling across Wisconsin. Upon entering, we were offered a few samples of cranberries, salsa, and such. As soon as I began browsing the cranberry wine, we were offered a wine tasting, then subsequently bought a bottle. We couldn't leave the store without getting an ice cream cone even though it was difficult deciding what variety of ice cream with cranberries we should choose - all were excellent!

We are taking in all the Wisc. Co-op Wineries & Dna Vintners is on the list. Their address in the co-op book is in LaCrosse. This is where the wine is produced, BUT the wine tasting is at Cranberry Discovery Center in Warrens... This is the 2nd incorrect address in the book, so please call ahead to confirm the location and times of operation!! To receive a stamp for the wine trail co-op book, you are required to purchase a bottle of wine. I chose "Sweet Paradise" which won a GOLD in the Women's International Wine Competition in California! They have everything cranberry!! I also purchased dried cranberrys, cranberry honey & cranberry sachets! Downstairs there is a small museum ($4.00 cost) where you watch a movie about growing/harvesting cranberries, learn about the industry & how Wi. state fruit is the cranberry. There are several hands on activities for children. We enjoyed our stop!

Not sure what I expected here but it's basically a shop filled with tons of cranberry products. Even cranberry dental floss. Wine, soap, ice cream, dried berries, etc. You pay $4 to be able to go downstairs where there is a cranberry museum and a short video on how cranberries are grown. We didn't go downstairs because i felt $4 was a bit high just for doing that. The ladies who work there are super nice though!!

This is a great place to visit and learn about cranberries. They have a museum that is devoted to the cranberry culture and you will be surprised at how much you will learn. There is a small fee to tour the museum. There is a gift shop with numerous cranberry related items. You can have a cranberry coffee, cranberry ice cream and many different cranberry food items.

My family and I drove up from the Madison area to Warrens, WI (about 2 hours) early Saturday morning (October 5th, 2013). You stop by the Wisconsin Cranberry Discovery Center, which is a store/museum/cafe/deli and pick up directions to the nearby cranberry farm (the one we went to was 4 miles away from the store). At the farm, there are the cranberry bogs, warehouses, packing equipment, and harvesting machinery as well as the "lake of cranberries" like you see on TV. You can put on waders (take your shoes off and find the right size) and take a picture (no photographer there so bring your own camera) standing among the floating cranberries. After the tours, you can go back to the store where they have all sorts of cranberry paraphernalia and snacks, etc. you would ever want. They have some local wineries sell some locally made, tasty, sweet, cranberry wines and they have an ice cream parlour and snack area where you can sample various cranberry baked goods and cheeses. There is also a pretty nice museum ($2/person) downstairs which had some pretty interesting information about cranberries and their production into the products we are familiar with.

2 of us gals got right in the bogs with furnished hip boots fun fun,weather was rainy but all in all we had a great tour,it was very interesting to see the harvest of these delious lil berries
