They have a Big Boy inside, and you can walk right up in it.

Or if you can make any extra time drive over to Manitowoc and check out the USS Cobia and the maritime museum.

If I had to pick one, it'd be the maritime museum.  I did the self guided tour through the sub a couple years ago.  Pretty much had the whole sub to myself for about an hour.

you said a few weeks from now.  Just be aware that EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) has the annual fly-in at the end of July/beginning of Aug.  Hotels may be very difficult to find. GB is outside of the immediate area, so it may be better, but book now if you want to.  

That said, EAA is a whole day experience if you are into planes. Everyday at 3 PM they run a airshow.  Definitely worth seeing.

Edit - I misread. you only have 3-4 hours, not days.  EAA won't be an option. It's an hour drive each way.
Bro, I stayed in the Marines for 26 years and been to cola warrior like 10 times, I'm all about bad decisions. -HDLS
