| What To Do Milwaukee Today |
Get Cultured (or at Least Pretend To)
Milwaukee boasts a treasure trove of museums that cater to all interests. Feeling fancy? The Milwaukee Art Museum with its stunning wing shaped like a giant white bird (seriously, it looks like it just landed on the lake) is a must-see. History buff? Dive into the past at the Milwaukee Public Museum, where you can learn about everything from dinosaurs (because, who doesn't love dinos?) to the brewing heritage of the city.
Pro Tip: Don't forget to practice your "cultured museum-goer" face. Think furrowed brow, thoughtful head tilt, and an occasional "hmm, interesting."
Unleash Your Inner Brew-haha (Get it? Beer? Haha? I'll see myself out)
Milwaukee is a beer lover's paradise, breweries are practically a dime a dozen (well, maybe not that cheap). Take a tour, sample some suds, and learn how this hoppy goodness is made. The Harley-Davidson Museum even offers a tour that combines motorcycles and beer tastings, because...well, Milwaukee.
Tip: Don’t rush — enjoy the read.
Word to the Wise: Pace yourself, grasshopper. Milwaukee may be the land of endless brews, but that doesn't mean you have to conquer them all in one day.
Embrace Your Inner Daredevil (or Just Watch Others Be Daring)
Looking for an adrenaline rush? Six Flags Great America is the place to be. Thrill rides, water slides, funnel cake the size of your head (disclaimer: slight exaggeration), this park has something for everyone (except maybe those who are terrified of heights...or clowns...or funnel cake overdose).
Chicken? No worries! Catch a game at the American Family Field (home of the Brewers) or take a boat tour on Lake Michigan. There's adventure to be found for even the faintest of hearts (or stomachs).
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
How to Milwaukee Like a Pro: FAQ
Q: How to act like a local at a brewery?
A: Wear a Brewers hat (bonus points for obscure former player). Order a "soda" (that's root beer in these parts). Know the difference between cheese curds and deep-fried cheese curds (because apparently, that's a thing).
