8 days in Milwaukee Itinerary

Milwaukee boasts well-preserved historical districts with a rich European past and a strong beer-brewing tradition.

Family-friendly places like Harley-Davidson Museum and Six Flags Great America will thrill your kids. Venture out of the city with trips to Bookworm Gardens (in Sheboygan), Madison (Wisconsin State Capitol, Henry Vilas Zoo, &more) and Ephraim Pottery (in Lake Mills). There's lots more to do: see where the action happens at American Family Field, get to know the resident critters at Milwaukee County Zoo, browse the eclectic array of goods at Milwaukee Public Market, and examine the collection at EAA Aviation Museum.

In August, plan for daily highs up to 79°F, and evening lows to 64°F. Finish your sightseeing early on the 18th (Sun) to allow enough time to travel back home.
