It's a cute 'German' town.
It was an old railroad town that was in distress in the 1960's (railroad closed down and such) so...
They decided to become touristy and transform into a place people would want to go to. If you are going to be passing through on Highway 2 - worth a stop for lunch.
From there .... ???

I'm kind of jaded as my family is Danish and we have a 'real' version called Solvang in California. My Mom used to go to Danish summer camps there when she was small (in the early 40's). Leavenworth is 'manufactured' - but - it's not too bad. They have some descent restaurants along the main drag and the odd store. It's not as 'German' as it was 15 years ago though.... There are some Italian and Chinese restaurants and... oh well.....

I'd recommend going - if for nothing else - The drive is absolutely scenic.
