Visit one of the largest public museums in the United States. The Milwaukee Public Museum is home to interesting exhibits and attractions that will interest everybody. Learn about the past, from the people who roamed the Streets of Old Milwaukee to the dinosaurs who roamed before streets existed. Stroll through a lush garden and interact with the butterflies that call it home. Get a breathtaking view of the night sky and explore outer space at the Planetarium.
Food lovers will want to stop by the Milwaukee Public Market. Choose from a variety of high-quality artisan and ethnic produce. Pick up some freshly prepared, ready-to-go foods, perfect for a quick and easy meal. Schedule some time to take a cooking class from local chefs or nationally known cookbook authors.
Continue the long tradition of the Wisconsin State Fair by joining in on the eleven-day festivities in West Allis, right outside of the Milwaukee city limits. Since 1851, this festival has drawn in vendors and citizens from all across the state. Yearly venues include regional and national bands, carnival rides, specialty vendors, agricultural exhibits and a variety of food and drink, including the popular cream puffs.
