YES, I am a lucky Golden dog to be here, a Cheese Castle.
I am enamored by this place.
I can’t help not to look around and smell the aroma … cheesy goodness.
This place is called the Mars Cheese Castle, a family owned business.
It is nicknamed after their grandparents Mario and Martha.
Mars Cheese Castle is an interstate 94 landmark for decades, located in Kenosha Wisconsin. Recently, Mars went through a 2011 big modern renovation which resulted in this castle.
Through the renovation they decided to keep the original sign.
It’s nostalgic.
This 24,000square foot facility is heavy guarded by armored knights.
Mmmm It means that NO DOGS are allowed inside.
I have to wait outside while my mom get some cheese.
Inside there’s a big mouse with a cheese on his head.
Waited for a long time for my mom to come out.
Due to overwhelming selection of cheese, she can’t decide what to get.
Since I am on a diet, she finally decided just to get me
a “small cube” of cheddar cheese.
Mmmmm a “small cube” of cheddar cheese.
I want more cheese …
If you are visting Wisconsin or on Interstate 94, make sure to pass by Mars Cheese Castle for great Cheese … you will not regret it.

October 20, 2011 at 12:50 PMSo cool, I can only imagine all the cheese they have there! There is a Reids Dairy Castle near where I live too…not nearly as neat looking though. Must be a dairy thing!

October 20, 2011 at 7:17 PMSugar – that looks like a PAWESOME place! But, I have a "bone" to pick…no dogs allowed inside??
What?? Not fair 🙁
Oh well, at least you got a cube of cheese…

Elyse and Riley says
October 20, 2011 at 7:29 PMThat Mom of yours…I tell ya! A small cube of cheese?!? What the heck? Ah well, at least you got a little bit.
Too bad they don't let dogs inside. I can imagine Riley would want to eat all the cheese, so maybe that's why!

mayziegal says
October 20, 2011 at 8:52 PMKer-THUNK! Oh, sorry…I think I passed out there for a second at the thought of a whole CASTLE filled up with CHEESE! Wow! That might be the most amazing thing I ever heard of. Although I don't know why they won't let you in if they let that great big huge giant mouse in. No fair!
Wiggles & Wags,

Ann says
October 20, 2011 at 9:02 PMthat is some castle and I love the big mouse. I am a big fan of cheese so I would probably have a hard time deciding what kind of cheese to get or maybe I would just a little bit of everything 🙂

The Bleu says
October 21, 2011 at 5:05 AMI'm allergic to dairy, so if I get a taste, it's because someone has a huge momentary lapse of judgment/thought!
And that means that I am SO enjoying living vicariously through you, Miss Sugar!!!
much love to you from the Bleu
