About Beloit

A charming small city in southern Wisconsin’s Rock County, once-industrial Beloit is a great choice for a family trip or a couples’ getaway, with plenty of cultural attractions and striking natural scenery. Easily accessible from nearby Madison or from Chicago, Beloit offers a good range of accommodation options, including simple self-catering properties and swish boutique hotels. Many of the best places to stay in Beloit are set close to Rock River, ideal for relaxing riverside walks for travellers of all ages.

Culturally-minded visitors will enjoy exploring the Wright Museum of Art, the Logan Museum of Anthropology, the Beloit Fine Arts Incubator and picturesque Beckman Mill. Having recently undergone an extensive regeneration project, downtown Beloit is brilliant for a stroll, with lots of independent cafés, trendy eateries and shops. The famed farmers’ market is a real highlight, reaching its height in May, and drawing suppliers from across the state with fresh seasonal vegetables, cheese, honey and pastries galore. Beloit College, founded is 1846, is the oldest in Wisconsin, and features some beautiful heritage buildings, as well as a lively programme of annual events — do find out what’s on during your stay!

If you’re keen to soak up the great outdoors, head to Turtle Creek Floodplain or Riverside Park. There’s cycling, fishing, kayaking and hiking aplenty, as well as lovely play areas for little ones. The Rock River Trail is a favourite with hikers and mountain-bikers, whilst the Stateline Restoration Prairie is popular with wildlife-spotters.

Whether you’re travelling as a couple, family or with friends, catch a game of baseball at Pohlman Field if you can — the friendly atmosphere offers a wonderful insight into the area’s vibe — before retreating to one of the best places to stay in Beloit.
