Pleasant Prairie is more than outlet malls. Minutes from the outlets you will find Chiwaukee Prairie State Natural Area which offers a peaceful escape into one of the most biodiverse prairies in Wisconsin. Tucked along the Lake Michigan shoreline, this spot is a reminder that stunning nature is within an hour of both Milwaukee and Chicago. A perfect day trip for wildflower walks, birdwatching, and quiet moments in the tallgrass. #PleasantPrairie #ChiwaukeePrairie #SoutheastWisconsin #WIOutdoors #NatureEscape #DiscoverWisconsin #TravelWisconsin #LakeMichigan #WeWisconsin #MidwestNature #ChicagoDayTrip #MilwaukeeDayTrip #creatorsearchinsights
