City of Kenosha (kenosha county) things to check out.
I live in the city of Kenosha which is located in Kenosha County.
The city of Kenosha is quite large with over 90,000 people living here. Since the city is one of the larger cities within Kenosha County I decided to make a topic listing things you can find here in the city. Please remember to also check out the Kenosha County things to do also for events in the entire county of Kenosha.
(when time permits I will take pictures of some of the following places around Kenosha and post them.)
Since 1940, the Kenosha Symphony Orchestra has been a cultural cornerstone of southeastern Wisconsin, and has entertained and educated thousands of music enthusiasts and local school children.

Experience the thrill and excitement of bicycle racing at the Washington Park Velodrome. Nestled in a bowl-shaped natural terrain, the 333 meter asphalt track attracts cyclists from all over the midwest.
Located at Washington Road and 22nd Avenue, Kenosha, Wisconsin is home to the oldest operating velodrome in the USA.
The Kenosha Velodrome Association sponsors American Bike Racing sanctioned races as well as training sessions at the "bowl" throughout the summer. Races are held every Tuesday night beginning in mid-May and continuing through August. Free lawn seating is available on the hill on Washington Road. Citizen Stock bike racing is held every Monday night from early June through mid-August so that kids from 2 to 102 can get in on the action.
