Visitors' Center - From I-90 take exit 3 (3-A if eastbound) and
follow WI-35 (rose Street) southbound. WI-35 turns right one block later
but Rose Street continues as US-53. You want to stay on Rose Street so
follow the US-53 signs from this point. At Clinton Street, US-53 veers off
at an angle to the right and Rose Street continues straight. We suggest
you follow US-53 which is now Copeland Avenue. (They rejoin a few blocks
south of here.) US-53 goes through a whole menu of name; ignore the street
names and follow the US-53 signs. You will be following the Mississippi
River. At State Street, turn right and drive to the end. Turn right again
on Veterans Memorial Drive and the La Crosse Area Convention & Visitor's
Bureau is at 420 East Veterans Drive.
