Top 10 Things to do in Lower East Side, Wisconsin (WI)
Located on the shores of Lake Michigan, Milwaukee is perhaps best known for its famous breweries and the Major League Brewers, but there's more to the city than beer and baseball. Milwaukee is rich in historical and cultural attractions, making it the perfect place for a weekend of exploring. Check out the newly expanded Milwaukee Art Museum or the Mitchell Park Horticultural Society, which hosts an annual show of the same flora and fauna seen in Georgia O'Keefe's paintings. Those interested in the city's history can visit the grand Pabst Mansion, former home of one of the city's famous beer barons, or the Milwaukee Public Museum, to see what life was like in Old Milwaukee. If the kids are along, don't miss the Milwaukee County Zoo or the Betty Brinn Children's Museum. Of course a trip to the "Genuine American City" would not be complete without a tour of the Miller Brewing Company and a Brewers game at Miller Park.

7. Jewish Museum Milwaukee

Reviewed By 570maryellen - Milwaukee, United States
This museum features traveling exhibits that are insightful and always powerful. On our recent trip we purposefully went to see a diary that was written by a teenager and discovered by a Russian doctor after the liberation of one of the camps. The story is haunting and we were able to trace a timeline that was expertly laid out in a lighted panel you could view by touching a screen. There is free limited parking on site behind the museum as well as some street parking. The museum is wheelchair and stroller accessible. Many exhibits tell of immigrants coming to the Milwaukee area and their contributions. There is an area in the front where you can sit quietly and read some of the books there. It is a place to visit and to recall what has happened to the Jewish people during the holocaust. It is well worth the trip and highly recommended if you are in the Milwaukee area.
8. The Swing Park

Are you an adult who misses enjoying the swings because now all the swings are too small? Same. If you are, you'll love this park! A sandy expanse under the bridge at the end of Brady Street, full of adult-sized, fun swings. Great for a photo shoot or for swinging! It's especially worth visiting if you're going to be around Brady Street anyway—especially if you're on your way to Lakefront Brewery, which is right on the other side of the bridge.

This is a quick stop but worth it! Nice art work in a real working alley. Others don’t like the dumpsters and gas meters, etc. but I prefer to see this style of art in a real setting so they don’t bother me one bit. Thanks for being real, Milwaukee!
