We were avid Cheese Castlers -- even taking out of town guests - until they opened in the new location. It's very sterile now and no longer kid friendly. Sadly, it went from laid-back, dirty roadside attraction to efficient cheese supermarket.

Mars Cheese Castle Just opened new Mars Cheese Castle, and it's huge! After you enter the castle the first thing you smell is the bakery! There is something for everyone, from a restaurant, bakery, wine, so many different kinds of snacks and dips, to candy, Wisconsin gifts to, of course, CHEESE! It's just a great stop to make.

Mars Cheese Castle This mainstay of Cheesehead gastronomy has reopened in a new, more castle-like building only a few feet from its original location, which was bulldozed for an I-94 interchange (the classic sign was saved). Now with real battlements! A real drawbridge! The Castle still has its cocktail lounge, and still sells "cow pies" and udder-shaped coffee mugs -- and its iconic roof-mounted cheese-chomping overcaffinated-eyed giant mouse sculpture has been repainted and moved indoors so that people can now pose next to it.
[RoadsideAmerica.com Team, 04/02/2011]Mars Cheese castle [will remain open during the] the I-94 widening. A new cheese castle will be built behind the old one. The iconic Mars sign will remain.
[Nate, 07/25/2010]If you need to use the restroom, go somewhere else. Disgusting.
