These Wisconsin tourist attractions were closed in 2020 but are open again Chelsey Lewis, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
At this time last year, Wisconsin state park campgrounds remained closed on what is traditionally the kickoff to the summer camping season.
Once they reopened in June, they were busier than ever, as people sought places to get away safely while other indoor attractions remained closed.
A few outdoor attractions stayed closed for the summer, too, from Rock Island State Park to Parfrey s Glen.
The legendary Tommy Bartlett Show in Wisconsin Dells closed permanently, and others, like New Glarus Brewing Co. and the Aldo Leopold shack, remain closed.

In a sign of things slowly returning to normal, three popular state parks properties will reopen more than a year after they were closed, and visitors will again be able to scale observation towers and playgrounds in parks.
Parfrey s Glen and Pewits Nest state natural areas, both near Baraboo in Sauk County, opened quietly last week. The Department of Natural Resources officially announced their reopening in a statement Tuesday. The state natural areas were among the 40 parks that were closed last April due to overcrowding that led to social distancing concerns as well as problems with trash and vandalism.
Rock Island State Park, off the tip of Door County, will reopen May 28. The DNR closed the park last year in part due to social distancing concerns on the Karfi ferry that services the island, as well as damage to the island s dock, which had been submerged by high lake levels.
