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.

Maybe we work from the premise that all bathrooms are disgusting, and we'll just mention the ones that are sparkly clean...]
Mars Cheese Castle No one talked about the bar located in the Cheese Castle, where local barmaids serve beer with a smile and the slight yooper accent you will find in the area. The cherry on top is the giant (HUGE!) crock of sharp cheddar cheese spread that is passed around along with crackers to bar patrons - gratis! [Peg Clydesdale, 09/10/2009]
