Be sure to watch a performance by the Milwaukee Repertory Theater & Professional Theater Company, an eleven member Resident Acting Company dedicated to presenting new playwrights and reviving classics. The Rep's current complex is a cleverly converted power generation plant that can seat well over a thousand people within its three theaters, and hosts an 11-play entertainment season annually.

Engage in hands-on learning about science, nature and sustainable living at the Urban Ecology Center. The center has two outdoor "laboratories," located in two urban parks, which feature 15 acres of woodland, a lagoon and riparian habitat on the east bank of the Milwaukee River. The parks also house a habitat-themed playground, as well as seasonal swimming, boating and skating.

Discover the world of water at Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin. Visit the popular Reiman Family Aquarium or take the family aboard a perfectly replicated 19th century Great Lakes schooner. Travel beneath the waves at the theater or get hands-on experience in an interactive exhibit or attraction. Discovery World is so much fun, you won't even realize that you are learning while playing!
