Tour opulent Pabst Mansion to discover what life looked like from the top during the Gilded Age. Capt. Frederick Pabst, the founder of Pabst Brewing Co., built this 37-room, 14-fireplace palace between 1890 and 92. As you tour the mansion, which is now a museum, you can see large paintings that Capt. Pabst hung on the walls, as well as highly detailed and embellished furnishings that adorn many rooms. Take a general-admission tour to see the mansion's highlights, or consider pre-booking a grand tour for more thorough exploration of the home.

This was a very nice experience. Well worth the price of admission. The tour guide was friendly, pleasant, and knowledgable. The tour was absolutely beautiful. We were able to see the mansion the was it was back in the day. The decor and craftsmanship was beyond fabulous! I would definitely recommend taking the tour of the Pabst Mansion if you are in Milwaukee, WI and have an hour to spare.

This Mansion has been beautifully preserved/restored and is a true gem. Booked tours are well priced and well worth doing. The history of this place is very interesting. We loved our visit!
