We decided to explore our neighboring state, Wisconsin, this Labor Day weekend and were surprised by the fun we had in Milwaukee. Milwaukee borders our beautiful Lake Michigan and boasts award-winning, restaurants, museums, theaters, bike trails and golf courses.
We visited the impressive Discovery World, which includes a science and technology center, in addition to an aquarium. It was extremely digital and hands-on and I know all four of us learned a lot while there.
A few highlights included lying on a bed of nails.
Building molecules.
Floating balls.
And when was the last time you saw a telephone booth?
We were super hungry after all the exploring and took our friend’s suggestion to try out the Safe House for lunch. A password is required to enter the spy-themed family-friendly daytime spot. While we waited for our table there were clues and activities throughout the restaurant providing a fun atmosphere for everyone. At nighttime, Safe House becomes a magically and mysterious club.
Also, did you know Happy Days took place in Milwaukee? (I think Laverne & Shirley did too!)
Other must-see spots in Milwaukee include the Art Museum, Harley-Davidson Museum and Zoo.
Have you ever been to Milwaukee?
And a few of my Chicago favorites: Family spots, Bike the Drive and River Park.
