Aunty Vikki Horses and Pony Rides

If you feel the urge to dance, hit the floor at the Mad Planet. Milwaukee's only alt-rock dance club, Mad Planet hosts a retro-themed dance night every Friday, when you can dust off your parachute pants and get down to the funky sounds of the 80s and 90s. Live music shows on Saturdays have included big-ticket national acts like Arcade Fire and Lucero.

A small museum located on the campus of Marquette University, Haggerty Museum of Art has some of the finest Old Master paintings in Wisconsin. The collection numbers more than 4,500 works, including pieces by Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol. This free museum houses both permanent and traveling exhibits and attractions.

Located an hour outside of Milwaukee, The Fireside Dinner Theatre is worth the trip. Fireside is Wisconsin's only Actor's Equity dinner theater and has been showcasing plays and musicals for almost 50 years. Enjoy award-winning cuisine while you experience an evening with one of the best professional theater shows that Wisconsin has to offer. And don't forget to check out attractions and merchandise at the unique gift shops!

Not all Milwaukee festivals occur during the summer. Party for four weekends after Labor Day at the Bavarian Inn's annual Oktoberfest, the oldest and most authentic Oktoberfest in the Midwest. Enjoy delicious food and local brews, as well as music, dancing and live performances.
