Kohl's Tunnels

Overview

If you aren't afraid of the dark — or claustrophobic — you can walk for hours down this network of tunnels beneath Waukesha. Accessible via the nearby Kohl's headquarters, they contain ladders and footholds for traversing the various levels within.

Entrance

The GPS coordinates of the tunnel entrance site are 43.122871, -88.114238. Park in the Kohl's Corporate Headquarters parking lot and approach the entrance shown. Follow the first tunnel and make sure to take the first ladder that you see to reach the second tunnel. From there, you can go whichever way you want - just remember how to get back to the entrance.

TIP: In the image to the left (or above if you are on mobile view), the Kohl's center is tagged with a red pin and the tunnel is located on the left side of the pond (it is that gray area by the sand).
