Things to See in Milwaukee

  • Beer

    Home to Miller, Pabst, and Schlitz, Milwaukee is historically considered "Beer City USA". Even the baseball team is named The Brewers. One of our favorite spots is Lakefront Brewery.
  • Sports

    The entire state of Wisconsin is crazy about their sports. While Milwaukee isn't home to major football teams (Packers in Green Bay and Badgers in Madison), the city loves its football. The Milwaukee Bucks won the 2021 NBA championship and the Brewers have made regular playoff appearances lately. The city also supports the Marquette basketball team.
  • Food

    As for the Milwaukee restaurant scene, there is definitely too many fine and iconic casual dining experiences to be listed here. Milwaukee is actually known for its eclectic food experiences—more eclectic than you might think. Yes, it is famous for its cheese curds and when you pair that with a Milwaukee beer, you’ve got the makings of an amazing meal. But you should also check out its signature fish fries as well as its wide array of delectable dessert selections.
  • Festivals

    Milwaukee takes great pride in its many festivals throughout the year. In fact, its music fest, simply known as Summerfest, is the world’s largest music festival as certified by the Guinness Book of World Records.
  • Art and Culture

    The Wisconsin hub has enough art and culture to go around for everyone. From the acclaimed Milwaukee Art Museum located in a picturesque lakeside setting to Discovery World to the famous Pabst Theater (an architectural gem), there is at least several days’ worth of culture to be explored in this exciting enclave.
  • Harley Davidson

    From museums to motorcycles... Milwaukee is the home of Harley Davidson. Bikers recurrently visit the city as they seek to pay homage to the headquarters of the original “Hog.” The city boasts a Harley Davidson Museum that is a can’t miss, even for nonbikers. Here is where you can see the oldest Harley, the very first one ever made.

    Milwaukee's winter is cold and snowy, with temperatures ranging from the teens to 30s Fahrenheit.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.

We had an amazing time flying over the beautiful canyons, admiring the waterfalls from above. While we are both quite adventurous, I have an occasional fear of heights. The staff was incredibly friendly and professional, putting our minds perfectly at ease and making the best experience for us possible.

This was one of the BEST experiences I have ever had! We extended our trip into a two-tank dive and got to explore the surrounding areas of the garden eel bay before going into our manta show.

A wedding guest bought this voucher for me and my husband from our wedding registry via The Knot. We had Chiqui and Jonathan as our guides and they were great! Very personable and knowledgeable. They provided a cooler with water, soda and beer.

The catamaran was smooth and clean. The food was wonderful. The captain and staff were friendly and engaging. We could have have asked for a more fun and educational experience around the island. The snorkeling was wonderful with tons of fish, corral and eels.

My husband and I went on the catamaran cruise during our honeymoon in Milos... exceptional experience! I can not recommend it enough! Beautiful views, crystal clear water, delicious food and awesome crew! A trip to Milos would not be complete without this cruise! 10/10!

Francesca, our guide, was super personable and knowledgeable about the city and legends of Venice. The tour started near the train station and followed through all the alleys and streets to San Marco Square. The weather and the sunset were absolutely beautiful as well.
