cities year after year, isn't the secret already out? I think that Milwaukee is a place where world-class amenities meet incredible natural assets and our warm hospitality is unmatched across the globe. We are a city that is Powered by our People.

When I am with my peers, who represent destinations across the globe, I can say with full confidence that Milwaukee is a city that consistently punches above its weight. Our professional athletes, such as Giannis Antetokounmpo or Christian Yelich happen to be league MVPs, but they are also a part of the fabric of our community. Our chefs bring flavors from around the world and are recognized annually at the James Beard awards, and the culinary and cocktail scene is often lauded by publications. Our local shopping was recently described by U.S. News & World Report as “better than the sleek storefronts along Chicago’s Magnificent Mile any day.”And we can't forget about our thriving arts and culture scene - from our world-renowned museums to our concert venues, o�-Broadway shows, and performing and visual arts, like Sculpture Milwaukee. There is something to do for everyone, and at a�ordable prices.

VISIT Milwaukee is proud to showcase all the city and its surrounding region has to o�er. Please take advantage of our tools, like this guide, our visitor’s map, our multilingual brochures, and our website, visitmilwaukee.org, which features thousands of ideas for things to do and places to visit, as well as information on accessibility, our Milwaukee Deals Pass, Brew City Beer Pass, and so much

Story of Struggle

CULTURE

America’s Black Holocaust Museum (401 W. North Ave.) was

➞

founded in 1984 by the only known survivor of a lynching, Dr. James Cameron. Following the Great Recession and Dr. Cameron’s death, the museum’s doors closed, and its exhibits moved primarily online.

Now the museum doors are open once again to provide racial understanding, reconciliation, and healing. Let’s explore the make-up of this Bronzeville neighborhood treasure.

T H E G AT H E R I N G P L A C E As you enter the museum, a gathering space emerges capable of hosting events as well as talks with museum griots, named for the West African tradition of storytellers.

AFR I C A N V I L L A G E A small hut offers a glimpse of life in Africa before African people were kidnapped and taken to America via the Middle Passage.

T H E A U CT I O N B L O C K Stand on this recreation of an auction block, symbolizing where African captives were put on display to be sold like cattle.

ST R AN G E F R U I T A rope hanging from this artistic representation of a tree brings to mind the “Strange Fruit” that Billie Holiday sang of as visitors peruse exhibits about the Reconstruction Era and Jim Crow.

I AM S O M E B O DY Civil rights efforts nationwide and locally are the focus of this exhibit that pays homage to Milwaukee civil rights leaders such as Vel Phillips, in addition to civil rights groups like the Milwaukee Commandos.

B LACK A M E R I C A TO D AY From the election of America’s first Black president to Black Lives Matter to mass incarceration, modern challenges and successes are explored.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, INTRODUCING…

The Bradley Symphony Center The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra (212 W. Wisconsin

➞

Ave.) has completed its renovation of the Warner Grand Theater, a National Historic Landmark located in downtown Milwaukee. Now locals and visitors alike are enjoying the orchestra’s musical stylings inside the brand new Bradley Symphony Center.

A beautiful blend of 1930s classic style and fresh, modern touches, the Bradley Symphony Center heralds traditions new and old in an opulent setting. As an overture, walk beneath the bright Warner Theater marquee into the grand lobby. Ascend the grand staircases and head into the ornate theater hall where the stage is set for symphonic excellence. As Wisconsin’s largest performing arts organization, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra hosts nationally acclaimed artists and conductors to offer rich musical experiences in the heart of downtown Milwaukee.

In the newer wing of the Symphony Center, lounge on plush furniture in the expansive ground-level gallery for a preor post-concert gathering. Or ascend another grand staircase to the second-floor atrium, where names of composers whose work the orchestra has performed line the floor-toceiling windows. Delicious food and beverage is available.

SHOPPING Plants to Knock Your Stalks Off HUN GRY?

➞ Milwaukee can claim

plant and floral prowess thanks to renowned attractions like the Boerner Botanical Gardens (9400 Boerner Dr., Hales Corners) and the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory (524 S. Layton Blvd.), the latter of which has a plant store, too.

Grow your roots in Milwaukee or take some with you when you leave by stopping at Maranta Plant Shop (1739 N. MLK Dr.). Started as an online and pop-up store, Maranta now blooms in the Bronzeville neighborhood as Milwaukee’s first Black owned plant shop. Co-owners Michelle Alfaro and Mag Rodriguez offer a range of plants that include common house plants to exotic varieties like philodendron Weeks red hybrid, Alocasia black velvet, and more.

Make a floral tour de Milwaukee by checking out the foliage at a few more stops. Other local favorites include MOD GEN (211 N. Broadway), Clover MKE (2252 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.), or Grow Plants & Home (1025 N. Astor St.) among others.

For those on the hunt for beautiful floral blooms, try the artful arrangements from Flowers for Dreams (134 W. Pittsburgh Ave.) or Belle Fiori (2014 N. Farwell Ave.) on the city's east side.

Tostada by Maranta serves up farmto-table offerings outside the shop.

Flying Solo ➞ There’s no better way to learn

about a new city and, in the process, about yourself than by traveling alone. Solo travel can be a great way to get out and explore somewhere new on your terms and on your schedule.

With Lake Michigan, three rivers, more than 150 state and county parks, and over 125 miles of bike trails, Milwaukee’s urban outdoors are the perfect grounds for your solo adventure. Paddle the rivers on kayak, hop on a Bublr bike, (bublrbikes.org), stretch out with yoga in a park, enjoy a beer garden, take in the sights from North Point Lighthouse (2650 N. Wahl Ave.), or stroll along the RiverWalk.

Enjoy great art as you move across the city. Black Cat Alley (a one-block alleyway in the area of Prospect and Farwell, Ivanhoe and Kenilworth) is a unique urban art destination that easily fits into a busy schedule. For a lengthier urban hike, walk to each of the Sculpture Milwaukee installations in the Third Ward and Downtown area through the fall of 2022.

Stretch your legs while apple picking at The Elegant Farmer (1545 Main St., Mukwonago), which also has a farm kitchen, bakery, deli, and market. Climb your way to excitement at Adventure Rock (2220 N. Commerce St.), an indoor climbing gym that has programs for new and experienced rock scalers. Play a round of mini golf on a course designed by you and others at Nine Below (1905 E. North Ave.).

➞ Travel to some of Milwaukee’s neatest destinations with City Tours MKE (citytoursmke.com). Evening excursions include two haunted tours, a Christmas tour, haunted pub crawl, dive bar tour, and karaoke tour.

City Tours MKE uses its small fleet of fully electric cruisers, as well as a 12seat bus, to transport guests.

Experience downtown’s Spooktacular side on a Gothic Milwaukee (gothicmilwaukee.com) walking tour. This tour provides a lesson on the morbid histories of some of downtown’s most famous buildings, as well as a look into the disasters that have taken place on Lake Michigan.

Milwaukee Food & City Tours (milwaukeefoodtours.com) has many daytime tour options, but it can also fill evenings with food and fun. Get lost in a cheese-induced state of nirvana on the Milwaukee Pizza Bus Tour, which explores the history of the food in Milwaukee and how the city came to perfect its own signature style. Take a bus ride through Milwaukee’s fantastic Latino food scene on the Tacos & Tequila tour.

Get active after dark with guided full-moon paddle or sunset tours from Milwaukee Kayak Company (318 S. Water St.) or Brew City Kayak (820 S. Water St.) on a warm summer night. As fall and winter settle in, the Urban Ecology Center hosts candlelight walks for kids and adults complete with music, poetry, snacks, and comforting cups of hot cider.

Hangman Tours’ claim to offering Milwaukee’s “quirkiest historic tours” is supported by its focus on the bizarre.

A few tours focus on the curious past of Shaker’s Cigar Bar (422 S. 2nd St.), which was at various points a brothel, speakeasy, and a cemetery. Another tour focuses on the crimes of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.

Just Desserts

Le Rěve Patisserie & Café

➞

A Milwaukee dining experience wouldn’t be complete without something sweet to end your night. From creative cocktails to sumptuous chocolate, the Greater Milwaukee area offers many.

Let’s make something clear: You can never go wrong with chocolate. And Milwaukee has ample opportunities for you to get your fix. Near downtown, try handcrafted truffles, bars, and more from Indulgence Chocolatiers (211 S. 2nd St.). If you’re in Wauwatosa, you might smell some sweet delights like chocolatedipped potato chips, strawberries, and other fun pleasures near Ultimate Confections (820 N. 68th St., Wauwatosa). The chocolate fountain keeps flowing at Kilwins (5756 N. Bayshore Dr., Glendale) at Bayshore. Not only do they sell chocolates, but you can also grab fudge and ice cream!

Speaking of ice cream, chill out with some frozen treats. Milwaukee isn’t called the Custard Capital of the World for nothing. Kopp’s Frozen Custard (kopps.com) is a local favorite where you can always try something new, thanks to their rotating flavors of the day. In the mood for ice cream instead of the richer custard? Head to Purple Door Ice Cream (205 S. 2nd St.) to get a taste of their unique flavors like brandy Old Fashioned, or vegan cold brew among others.

Don’t worry if you’re feeling indecisive. Try the bakery at Glorioso’s Italian Market (1011 E. Brady St.) that offers cakes, traditional Italian cookies, awardwinning gelato, and more. Or transport yourself from Italy to France by ogling the French pastry case at Le Rêve Patisserie & Café (7610 Harwood Ave.). Or order tasty dessert crepes from Cream & Crepe Café (N70 W6340 Bridge Rd., Cedarburg). Also in Cedarburg, satisfy your tastebuds with a caramel apple from Amy’s Candy Kitchen (W62 N579 Washington Ave., Cedarburg).

Looking for a nightcap? Enjoy a dessert cocktail before turning in. When you’re of age in MKE, stopping at At Random (2501 S. Delaware Ave.) for a legendary Pink Squirrel is a must. Cheers!

perfect destination for an urban outdoor adventure with guided sails, fishing, freshwater surfing, kayaking, and many more watery activities.

Learn the ropes with guidance from places such as Milwaukee Community Sailing Center (1450 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr.) and CareFree Boat Club of Wisconsin (601 E. Erie St.) providing sailing instruction and outings. And Milwaukee Sailing Adventure (318 S. Water St.) promises unforgettable sails aboard its vintage America’s Cup traditional sailing yacht or head on over to the McKinley Marina where Sea Dog Sailing (1750 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr.) welcomes you aboard a yacht for a private shoreline sail.

If boat tours are more your speed, hop aboard Milwaukee’s vessels from companies such as Edelweiss Boats (205 W. Highland Ave.), Milwaukee Boat Line (1124 N. MLK Dr.), Milwaukee Duffy Boats (818 S. Water St.), and Riverwalk Boat Tours & Rentals (950 N. MLK Dr.). You may also consider forging your own water adventure path with equipment from Lakeshore Paddle Sport Rentals (500 N. Harbor Dr.), Wake Zone (4503 E. Ryan Rd., Oak Creek) jet ski rentals, Milwaukee Offshore Fishing Charters (1750 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr.), and Nomad Boardsports (34422 Delafield Rd., Summit).

The Milwaukee, Menomonee and Kinnickinnic Rivers offer more watery getaways with the city’s three rivers perfect for boat cruises, kayaking, and paddle boarding. Allow resident waterway experts like Brew City Kayak (820 S. Water St.), Milwaukee Kayak Company (318 S. Water St.), and Adventure Milwaukee (600 S. Water St.) to to guide your Milwaukee River kayaking trips. In fact, the Milwaukee County Historical Society (910 N. MLK Dr.) teams up with local kayakers for guided historic river excursions. Or stroll riverside through three historic neighborhoods on The Milwaukee RiverWalk.

Back on dry land, Milwaukee is home to 1,400 acres of beaches and parkland adjacent to the water. Milwaukee County Parks (county.milwaukee.gov/EN/Parks) beaches along Lake Michigan — such as Bradford Beach and Warnimont Park Beach — are excellent for sunbathing, swimming, and surfing.

Gear up at Wheel Fun Bike Rentals (1500 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr.), then hit the trails of Lakeshore State Park (500 N. Harbor Dr.), Wisconsin’s only urban state park. Head north on Lincoln Memorial Drive along Lake Michigan’s shores to fly a kite with Gift of Wings (1300 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr.) at Veterans Park or ride in swan boats around the park’s nearby lagoon.

Time for a beverage? O.K., but you have to work for it. The Milwaukee Paddle Tavern (113 E. Juneau Ave.) is a floating pub powered by your group pedaling as they imbibe. For waterside eateries try Harbor House's seafood (550 N. Harbor Dr.), Screaming Tuna's sushi (106 W. Seeboth St.), Blue Bat Kitchen & Tequilaria's tacos (249 N. Water St.), MooSa’s custard stand (2272 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr.). Head just outside of the city on Upper Nemabhin Lake to Panga Bar & Grill (34422 Delafield Rd., Oconomowoc) for burgers.

Dipping sauce is optional, but ranch is standard

Curd is the Word ➞ If you’ve never been to Milwaukee, you may not know what to expect when you see “cheese curds” on the menu at the local watering hole — and you have no idea what you’re missing! Try a cheesy, gooey, salty basket at Lakefront Brewery's (1872 N. Commerce St.) German-style beer hall.

These deep-fried curds are dipped in a beer batter from Lakefront’s own Eastside Dark, a Bavarian dark lager. Or try the fresh, squeaky version at Clock Shadow Creamery (138 W. Bruce St.). Stop in on Wednesday or Friday morning — that’s when they make the curds!
