Discover Details:
Harley-Davidson Museum
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!
Milwaukee Art Museum
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.
Milwaukee Public Museum
Discovery World
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.
Pabst Mansion
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!
Betty Brinn Children's Museum
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.
Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum
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!
