Kenosha, Wisconsin? I think this is the first time I've ever heard
anyone suggest Kenosha as a tourist destination. I seem to recall
seeing signs on the highway for a jelly bean factory that gives tours
in the area (I think this is new). Then, there's also some cheese
shops in the area and an outlet mall or two. I've never spent the
night there, but I seem to recall there are some motels off of the
highway. Anyhow, for a tourist, I think extreme boredom would set in
after about an hour or two - for sightseeing, you're better off going
north to Milwaukee or south to Chicago.

I mostly agree with dpc, but I've recently been to downtown Racine, and, for a small midwest city, Racine
has a nice downtown. Also, Kenosha has a historic rail streetcar loop downtown, leading to a waterfront
park. Both cities have outlets of the best small chain fast food company anywhere: Culver's Butterburger.

Does SC Johnson Wax still offer tours of its buildings in Racine?

If he wants the best hamburger, he should another 20 miles north to
Milwaukee and visit Kopps. Great burgers.

Usual disclaimer - I don't work there, I'm just a satisfied customer.

There are several outlet malls for shopping at hwy 50 and I-94. You
may enjoy taking the Metra train to downtown Chicago (about $5.00 each
way) and have a lot more to do/see for a day trip.

If you are into barbershop quartet singing, Kenosha is home to the
spebsqsa The Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of
Barbershop Quartet Singing in America.

(usual disclaimer) I'm not a barbershop singer, just heard of it.
