　　The city's lakefront science and technology museum is primarily a kid-pleaser, with freshwater and saltwater aquariums (where you can touch sharks and sturgeon) and a dockside, triple-masted Great Lakes schooner to ogle. Adults will appreciate the Les Paul exhibit, showcasing the Wisconsin native's pioneering guitars and sound equipment.

Must-see attractions

　　This landmark downtown theatre hosts concerts from artists as diverse as Joe Jackson to Ani DiFranco. The theatre's history dates back to 1895, when it functioned as an opera house. Today, the period-piece details, including a two-ton crystal chandelier, provide a dramatic backdrop to the performances. See the website for...

Harley-Davidson Plant

　　Hog-heads can get a fix at the plant where engines are built, in suburban Menomonee Falls. The factory offers several options for tours, including a classic 30-minute jaunt where you see a video and take a quick walk onto the factory floor, and a two-hour 'Steel Toe' tour ($38 per...

Milwaukee Art Museum

　　You have to see this lakeside institution, which features a stunning winglike addition by Santiago Calatrava. It soars open and closed every day at 10am, noon and 5pm (8pm on Thursday), which is wild to watch; head to the suspension bridge outside for the best view. There are fabulous folk...

　　Rumor has it the Bronze Fonz, just south of Wells St downtown, is the most photographed sight in Milwaukee. The Fonz, aka Arthur Fonzarelli, was a character from the 1970s TV show Happy Days, which was set in the city. What do you think – do the blue pants get...

Lakefront Brewery

Miller Brewing Company

　　Founded in 1855, the historic Miller facility preserves Milwaukee's beer legacy. Join the legions lined up for the free, hour-long tours. Though the mass-produced beer may not be your favorite, the factory impresses with its sheer scale: you'll visit the packaging plant where 2000 cans are filled each minute, and...

Harley-Davidson Museum

　　Hundreds of motorcycles show the styles through the decades, including the flashy rides of Elvis and Evel Knievel. You can sit in the saddle of various bikes (on the bottom floor, in the Experience Gallery) and take badass photos. Even nonbikers will enjoy the interactive exhibits and tough, leather-clad crowds....

American Black Holocaust Museum

　　This museum aims to tell the story of what it calls the 'Black Holocaust' – which includes the slave trade from Africa, slavery in the American South, the aftermath of the Civil War and the Civil Rights movement – through pictures and stories. It was founded in 1984 as a...
