This is amazing shrine. The way goes up to the hill where shrine takes place is so attractive. I walked there, it is not so long way, but if you dont like, they have the small buses to help you get there. With the restaurant and gift store there you can buy some food for yourself and some gift for your relatives

What a beautiful shrine, church, stations and rosary walks; and grounds. We made the 9am Latin Mass on Sunday, been a lot of years for me, when I was an alter boy in the 60s. Lots of photos. Great gift shop and cafe as well. We spent 3 hours here and could easily double that. The whole area is built on a wonderful, treed steep hillside. They offer cart rides to those that need them.

Beautiful church tucked away in the hills outside of LaCrosse.

Breath taking in multiple ways! The connection to your soul and how the beauty around you is pleasing to the eye. Must stop to see and feel a spiritual connection.

Beautiful buildings and picturesque hillside makes the half mile walk to the church well worth it. The visitors center had some very nice people that helped us out when we arrived. There was a mass when we visited so we could not go in the main church during the service but the visit was still well worth it.

Beautifully manicured grounds with lovely flowers everywhere. It is a very holy place. Quiet and peaceful. Celebrated Holy Mass at the magnificent main church. Enjoyed the rosary walk, the candle chaple, and the life garden. There are a few picnic tables to have lunch under a tree after walking around the serene grounds. We felt the presence of our blessed Mother Mary surrounding is while we were there. Thank you for creating this prayerful shrine!

Beautiful place to visit. The gardens are exceptional. We were so grateful that they have a golf cart available for those who cant walk the trail.

This is a beautiful, peaceful place to come to whether you are religious or not. The walk up to the shrine was paved and they had carts that would take you up if you didnt want to walk. They have a great onsite restaurant to if you want a bite to eat. Great experience and I will be coming back and bringing my friends and family.

Loved the place. The trail up to the church is marvelous. And the small tuk tuk ride is enjoyable as well . Loved talking with the man who drove us up to the church . And its free ! Couldnt enjoy food in the restaurant last time .

I really like the church and the inside of it.. Theres more shrine type things there... They even have the Jesus walk.. Its very pretty there!

I feel that visiting this place can empower my soul andspirit, but mostly my.............FAITH

We loved to walk the course to the chapel. It was so beautiful to see the paintings, and all the shrines.

I had a beautiful pilgrimage to this site and reccomend all faithful travel there. I feel bad for those I came in contact with though as i only took one tunic, set of clothes, so I could not dress properly for mass. But spend 3 or so days at least

We stopped on our way back to MN. I have to say it was my favorite unexpected stop. I was raised Catholic, but no longer practice. This didn’t stop me from enjoying its beautiful grounds and delicious restaurant.This entire place is so calming and just simply spectacular to walk around(especially in the fall). All the staff was very helpful and incredibly pleasant to talk with about the history of the place.After our walk around the grounds, we were pleased to see they had a full restaurant. Lucky for us, it was a buffet of German/American food(Octoberfest time). The food was delicious. The dining room was stunning to sit and have a meal. The server was nice. The food was rather expensive, but worth it. We even bought several cakes and pies to go.Again, this unexpected stop turned into my favorite part of the weekend. Regardless if you’re religious or not, you’ll enjoy the grounds and people immensely.

Wife insisted we stop here while in La Crosse so we did. Its a great place to visit and if youre in good shape you can hike up the path to the church; otherwise they have golf carts that run up and down the path. We took a gold cart up and then hiked back down. There are places to stop along the way so I suggest walking at least part way.

Whether you’re religious or not, the shrine is a peaceful place to contemplate.

Its a beautiful place Im glad we took this day trip.

Beautiful, peaceful, very spiritually inspiring. The Shrine of the Unborn....️

We went to Mass last weekend, the fourth Sunday of Advent. What a powerful and awe inspiring experience. The music and choir along with the reverence and mystery of the Mass was an uplifting experience. The priest gave a homily that brought tears to my eyes. How powerful. How sublime. I am so thankful to have experienced this and to have this only an hour or so from my home. Many thanks to all there. Thanks be to God and thanks be to the Blessed Mother. We also ate there and the meal was perfect. What an amazing place.

This place is so warm that even in the snow days you can feel its magic!!

Beautiful shrine. Worth visiting if you are in the area. The cafe has great food too.

Beautiful place to pray and visit. Daily mass at 11am. They have a rosary walk and a stations of the cross walk.

What a gorgeous place. Was blessed to be able to return!

We have returned twice since discovering this jewel. The grounds are beautiful as are the facilities with mass & confession opportunities. We have enjoyed the cafe both times. It is a very special place. We plan to go again.

A modern classic. Exceeds expectations.

The love and peace of the Blessed Mothers presence can be felt throughout the grounds and in the buildings. It is really beautiful and the staff couldnt be kinder or more thoughtful. We called ahead since our mom cant walk very far, and they were waiting for us so that they could bring her up the hill in their golf cart. We cant wait to go back.

Thank you Cardinal Burke for creating this beautiful Shrine for Our Lady of Guadalupe!

The stunningly beautiful uphill walk to the shrine chapel was the perfect way to begin our morning. You do not have to be of the Catholic faith to appreciate the love and beauty dripped into every aspect of the shrine. Staff were exceedingly friendly and knowledgeable. The cafe food was delicious and very moderately priced (highly recommend the french toast). My husband and I left feeling refreshed.

It was very pretty. I didnt go all the way to the top but the gift shop was pretty cool and the little chapel had a lot of beautiful windows.

Very beautiful and worth the stop even if youre not Catholic.

This is a beautiful place! I think even if you do not practice a Catholic religion, this is a beautiful environment to visit, walk on the meditation path, enjoy the beautiful landscape and flowers. The Cafe offers several delicious baked treats and soup. This is a newer built area; the church and chapel are exquisite!

I recall the controversy when the shrine was being built. This is a very special place to visit of which I will always be grateful for. It offers much beyond what I could possibly write in a review. Thank you for having the vision to build it.Verso Ialto

Very friendly people. Breakfast was really good.

Tremendous. Fabulous. God is present.

Serenity and true, clear teaching.

Sure the most beautiful shrine to our wonderful blessed lady- they did a phenomenal job on the newly built shrine! It is a MUST to come here! So beautiful, breathtaking, and adorable.

Beautiful ground. Wonderful place to visit.

It is a nice place.

Peaceful shrine south of La Crosse, easy to find as one can follow signs off Interstate 90.Visitor center with restrooms, shop and cafe are at the bottom of the hill. A walk up toward the Shrine winds past a small chapel and several gardens before reaching the Shrine. For those unable to complete the walk, theres a cart. The grounds and buildings, along with the Shrine itself are well taken care of and peaceful, quiet, pretty places.The complex is great in both summer and winter. Mass and confession are offered on occasions throughout the week, check schedule.

Amazing and beautiful surroundings in Gods nature. Peaceful! Our youth group were silent and respectful at the memorial for the unborn.

A day of pilgrimage to the Shrine is always a beautiful day with Our Lady - no matter what season! My walk up the hill is always exciting and my walk down the hill at the end of the day is always one of extreme peace in my heart and soul. The healing graces of confession, the beautiful Sacrifice of the Holy Mass, lunch at the Culina, outdoor stations and rosary walk quickly fill the day. Ending with the holy hour consisting of adoration/rosary/vespers and more led by the Friars tops the day of grace. I highly recommend it to all!!

This is an awe inspiring, beautiful and holy place. It exceeded my expectations. My family and I felt fortunate to have the opportunity to spend the afternoon here.

We visited the end of Aug. The relics were miraculously beautiful. What hope they give to those in need.

This is my favorite place to visit whether its by myself, with my wife, or as a family. Daily mass and daily reconciliation are offered. There are numerous events. Churches from all over plan pilgrimages here. They offer a weekly Latin Mass which is great. The memorial to the unborn is especially powerful.

What a beautiful place of prayer. Thanks for the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate for offering a wonderful Mass and devotions! Thanks Cardinal Burke

This was a trip that I have been waiting to do for several years and I was not disappointed in my time spent there at all. Nor the feeling of being blest for having visited there. ️

A wonderful place to pray to our blessed lady. The nature trails provide a peaceful setting of meditation and reflection. Dont forget to bring your rosary!

Beautiful, reverent place to spend time. Trails are paved and not too steep. Even if you arent Catholic, go check out the beauty of this place.

This is a beautiful place of pilgrimage. Magnificent architecture, reverent liturgy, skillfully performed music, and a very knowledgeable and accommodating staff.

Just great. Beautiful location and architecture, staff is wonderful and friendly. Honestly thought such a shrine here was a silly idea till I visited. Even if youre not religious, check it out. Its really nice.

Amazing place!

Nice shrine but for the money that was put into it the electrical contractor couldve done their work to code.

It so special in a good way you feel clam and all

The architecture was beautiful! There were marvelous pieces of artwork in the church. The staff was very knowledgeable and generally nice.This is a shrine, so you need to be respectful at all times. They ask that you dress respectfully (jeans and a shirt are fine), respect others, respect the site, and do not bring pets along with you--unless it is a service animal.The trails here can be a little steep, but they do have carts that take people up to the church if needed.If Im ever in the La Crosse area again, I would definitely revisit the church. It is absolutely breathtaking.

Beautiful Catholic shrine in a beautiful setting. Dedicated in 2008 by Cardinal Burke, founder of the shrine. The architecture is breathtaking. One of the most beautiful churches in the Midwest. The walk to the shrine is equally beautiful, especially in the Fall. Dont miss the devotional areas around the shrine dedicated to different saints and to the unborn.The Franciscans Friars of the Immaculate are in charge of the pastoral care of the shrine. Holy and hardworking priests who celebrate the sacraments very reverently.

A Wonderful and Spiritual place to visit and STAY AWHILE...You will find Your experience very worthwhile for Your Mind, Body and Soul

A beautiful experience, with the most reverent Masses Ive ever experienced.

Iam from Chicago and take a trip with my 4 sisters every year for the weekend. We love every moment of it, it’s so peaceful and beyond beautiful. I’m a big believer in our Lady of a Guadalupe and have so much faith in her.On Sunday morning we have brunch at the restaurant which The food is delicious then we head up to mass.It amazes me that all cultures come to visit the church and that’s such a good feeling.My sisters and I will be visiting for many more years to come.

Beautiful place. You can sense the presence of God

Beautiful peaceful spot. Good guided tour through the church.

Beautiful place. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Beautiful place restaurant had good food. Lots of parking

Shrine emanates peace and love in Wisconsins most scenic setting.

A BEAUTIFUL PLACE.TO VISIT...SOOO PEACEFUL..IT TRUELY IS HEAVEN ON EARTH!!!!!

It is a very beatiful place the gift shop has many thing to look at. In the church it is really beautiful.

Beautiful shine in the most beautiful part of Wisconsin! Truly a prayerful place with a dedicated and loving staff. I highly encourage you to visit! Truly a blessed site!

Lovely place and Nature. Beautiful serenity. A calm place.

I Wonderful place to visit whether youre Roman Catholic or not.

Beautiful place, super peaceful. They have English, Spanish and Latin Mass!!!

A beautiful, holy & inspiring shrine. I hope I have a chance to return again.

Pleasantly surprised!! Was not sure what to expect on cold winter day - but so incredibly beautiful even in -2o. Classy almost luxurious, clean, friendly - spiritual. Will try to visit more - worth the drive.

Absolutely beautiful! with an excellent restaurant on the premises

Everything here is serene, beautiful and blessed! My husband and are grateful for this holy shrine, and appreciate the good priests and staff working here. We have never been disappointed.

A beautiful place to visit and spend some time

What a beautiful site! We will visit again. Take the golf cart up to the top!!!!

Whatever I write about this wonderful place can not do it any worthy justice. All I can say is that if you find yourself nearby or feel a desire to make a pilgrimage to this site...do it! You will most certainly find your Blessed Mother waiting for you there, and the beauty of this place only serves to remind you of her unyielding love for you! Jesus humbled himself and desired to dwell in the Virgins womb, and how great are the riches for us who choose to humble ourselves and find refuge within the confines of this same Woman, Our Mother.

Beautiful place, stations of the cross and walking rosary are amazing!

Incredible place! We enjoyed the various stops along the way. The folks here are very knowledgeable! We would go back when in the area. Folks with disabilities might have a rough time but the do have a covered golf cart to move folks with special needs. The trails are paved.

Wonderful! Wish I would have had more time. Peaceful. The people are wonderful.

Wonderful grounds beautiful church and devotion stops

Stunningly beautiful. Worthy basilica for the Mother of God.

Awesome

We went on a family vacation and decided we wanted to take our children on a little pilgrimage and found this shrine close by to us. I never imagined that it was going to be so beautiful. The grounds and church was breathtaking and every detail had such meaning. I loved the path up to the church. It felt like a true pilgrimage. We highly recommend visiting this shrine. It is such a gem.

Beautiful, sacred. Glorious little world!

Nice big place to walk arround, nice church!!

It was so beautiful from the road that we couldnt pass it up. We needed to kill a little time and this seemed to be a fair enough option. We quickly learned that it was more of a workout than we had anticipated. It wasnt horrible, but a bit of a hike when youre in flip-flops.Not being of the christian faith, this wasnt a spiritual achievement. Nonetheless, it was definitely worth a look.

Great place to walk and pray. Massive Cathedral.

Beautiful Shine! I go up almost every month to go to confessions and pray!

Beautiful church - such a hidden gem!

Amazing setting for meditation and prayer.

Beautiful scenery. Tranquil setting. Very peaceful. Plenty of places to stop, meditate and pray. Well worth the visit.

So beautiful and peaceful. Very well maintained and a place every Christian should visit. Make that every person, Christian or not, should visit.

Beautiful shrine. The restaurant and gift shop are also lovely.

Mass was beautiful and loved the different areas to pray and learn more about our faith. The statue of the Holy family is something I spent quite a while reflecting on, make sure you take a look. The shrine is beautiful year round; stop, pray and take a look if youre in the area or passing through, or make the trip out just for this and you wont be disappointed.

Awesome Holy House of God!

Great facility, beautiful scenery in the fall, has a good restaurant.

Wonderful place of pilmigrage.

I was late to meet my class here. Did not appreciate attitude from golf cart man. I hit my head on the low hanging lights to the entrance of the church and I didnt feel welcome. Terrible service. I might have to go back and I dont want to.

Loved this place. i drove 5 1/2 hours to get here, but it was worth it. I came to see my Mother, and was happy to see her smiling at me.

Everyone was very helpful, chapel beautiful.
