    A must do while in Milwaukee. A great display outlining the history of Harley Davidson from the beginning up to today. The motor room displayed all their engines over the years was neat also.

    First of all the building architecture itself is great with the shape of a ship in harbor. Inside there are art pieces dedicated to all kinds of paintings, sculptures and even modern industrial design. It is a very good learning experience and also informative. There is an art studio inside where kids can engage in art and craft and it is quite engaging for them for at least an hour.

    We did the tour on a busy Saturday evening. The guide was fun and knowledgeable. It was a full tour through the brewery and he explained the brewing process as well as the story of the founding of the brewery at the beginning of the craft beer craze. With your ticket you get 4 beer tokens you can use while you wait for the tour to start and after. ask for your beer in a plastic cup…you get a bigger pour). There is a stop during the tour where you get to use a token also. There were no disappointments with the beers. After the tour we stayed for dinner in the brew hall and enjoyed a great basket of cheese curds (large nuggets!) and some good fish and chips.

    As a Cubs fan from a small town, I didn't know what to expect going to see the Cubs play at the Brewers. It was a very unique experience, to say the least. The fans bantered back and forth jokingly. It was a blast. No one was rude, or made us feel uneasy. I must say one of the best ball park experiences, although the bathrooms were small for such a large venue.

    The Pabst mansion is a lovely late 1800s dwelling, home to the Pabst beer baron and his family. The decor is beautiful with much of the original woodwork and some furnishings and light fixtures belonging to the family. We did the self-guided tour, with docents along the way providing trivia and history of the home and the Pabst family. Self-guided tours are limited to one hour, and I would have liked a little longer. It was pouring rain, so we didn’t wander the grounds. This was a lovely way to spend an otherwise dreary morning in Milwaukee.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the audio tour of this incredibly beautiful Basilica, so rich in history. The ornate interior of this Basilica rivals many of the cathedrals we saw in Europe - really - it’s that breathtaking. The audio tour gives so much more information than just the pamphlet tour. It even includes music! This might be my favorite experience in Milwaukee. The stained glass windows alone are worth seeing. Best $5 and 45 minutes you’ll spend in the area.

    We had an amazing time here. Our tour was not only very informative, but also fun! Our tour guide/ bartenders were fantastic. Their sense of humor, wit, and knowledge made us feel welcome and kept us laughing throughout our entire time there. We definitely brought a bottle home with us too. What a great place! Can't wait to come back! Thank you.

    We enjoy visiting this zoo. The indoor and outdoor enclosures are well maintained and the animals are well taken care of. There is a good variety of animals and you can see many active in their enclosures. The zoo is constantly upgrading and making improvements. Definitely worth visiting

    I enjoy a good museum and this one is fantastic! The "Streets of Old Milwaukee" allow you to stroll through a Milwaukee street from a century past and the "European Village" shows items from the myriad of European ethnic groups that contributed to the composition of the city. The many dioramas are well done and those depicting wildlife from various regions are frequently dramatic in their composition. This place is worth multiple visits.

    A great thing to do while in Milwaukee. A guided tour about the history of Miller Brewing and the current production facility. And of course: samples. Also a great gift shop.
