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.
Hi Hat Lounge sets the feel for the night with excellent mood lighting and spectacular artwork. This versitile nightlife venue opens for lunch on weekdays and brunch on weekends, and stays open until 2:00AM every night. Enjoy food from the full menu, featuring typical American fare like burgers and salads. Listen to a live DJ every Friday night, or hear a live band perform. On nights without a band or DJ, you can still crank up the juke box.
Located on the last remaining prehistoric Indian Mound in the city, Lake Park is a 138-acre oasis of greenery within the urban landscape. Just north of the Milwaukee Art Museum, this park is home to a lighthouse, several trails and paths, tennis courts, a golf course and a playground. Enjoy the fresh air, beautiful outdoors, and free concerts during the summer.
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.
