Top Museums in Milwaukee

Make sure to grab a bite at the on-site café, but don't go at peak lunch hours. I waited a bit too long and missed some exhibit time. A snack on the go could work better!

i recommend checking out the museum store before you leave. they had some exclusive merch that made for great souvenirs. i almost missed that section.

If you're into the history part take your time reading the exhibits on the wall. I kinda rushed through but later wished I spent more time soaking in the stories behind the bikes!

Don’t forget to check out the gift shop before leaving! I found some cool local art prints that were reasonably priced. I think it’s a great way to take home a piece of Milwaukee!

Make sure to wear comfy shoes! You’ll want to explore every corner, and let me tell you, there’s a lot more walking than you think. I wished I had left my flip-flops at home.

Take your time exploring the interactive exhibits, but I recommend not missing the boat-building area. It was so much fun! Just be prepared to get a little wet, just in case.

I recommend visiting on a weekday morning around 10 AM if you can. It was way less crowded, and we had more freedom to explore without the chaos.

I recommend getting there right when they open at 10 AM. I went later and the guided tours were packed; plus, the lighting in the morning is perfect for photos!

If you're planning to visit I suggest checking their website for any special events before you go. I stumbled upon a lovely art lecture that made my day.

I think the audio guide is totally worth it. It gave me a deeper understanding of the exhibits, and it’s not very expensive. Definitely enhances the experience!
