Things To Do
Milwaukee Art Museum
Its collection of over 34,000 works of art and gallery spaces totaling 150,000 sq. ft. make it the largest art museum in the state of Wisconsin and one of the largest art museums in the United States. Santiago Calatrava designed the atrium and the famous "wings" which have become an iconic part of the Milwaukee skyline.
Milwaukee Public Museum
A great option in the event of rain, with old school diorama displays, a walk through the streets of 19th century Milwaukee, and an indoor butterfly garden.
Schlitz Audubon Nature Center
Good hiking, beautiful views of Lake Michigan, and wildlife rehab. Great option if you have plenty of time to wander around in nature while you're in town.
La Masa Empanada Bar
Best. Empanadas. Ever.
Likewise Coffee - Milwaukee
In the historic Third Ward, Likewise has great coffee and a cool artsy vibe.
Colectivo Coffee Lakefront
One of Austin’s favorite Milwaukee locations, a cafe in the old historic Milwaukee River Flushing Station!
Lakefront Brewery
If beer is on the docket for your trip, Lakefront does tastings and offers a variety of beer options including gluten free. The Riverwest Stein is the couple’s favorite!
