Wisconsin's location within the United States can be a bit confusing for visitors and residents alike when trying to determine its respective time zone. Fortunately, we're here to provide you with all the information you need.

The state of Wisconsin is situated in one of America's four main regions: the Midwest. Specifically, it shares borders with two other states within this region – Minnesota to the west and Illinois to the south-east. The remaining bordering states are located outside of these two neighboring areas; Michigan lies directly north while Indiana forms part of its southern boundary.

Now let’s move onto what concerns us most - Wisconsin's time zone!

Wisconsin observes Central Standard Time (CST) during standard hours throughout much like many other states within the same region. However, things change when Daylight Saving Time rolls around each spring forward one hour ahead into Central daylight savings or CDT.

So there you have it folks; if ever unsure about what time of day it is currently in Wisconsin simply remember that from March through November they're observing CST while during winter months (from November until March) its back to standard local time known as EST.
