Channah M.

Lots of fun for eight and under. Have been here for five hours now. Granddaughter getting my ten bucks worth. Lots for littles to do. Loads of dress up and market and building art and doll houses. She is over the moon with it. Also very kind that she doesn't charge for parents to get in.

Painting area

Really impressive indoor playground experience, probably best for kids 1-4. Great art area, variety of play areas. Very good covid precautions. Area upstairs to eat your own food that you bring, also a vending machine which accepts cash only. Enter in the back side closer to the lake. Nice coffee shop next door to buy lunch.

"Go touch grass" Oddly enough this place has the softest…read more"turf" I've ever felt in all my years lol. This place has a lot going on, indoor and out. Yesterday's top experience was definitely the outdoor spaces on a gorgeous day allowing you to take a fun trip AND enjoy the weather. Getting tickets online makes checking in a breeze, although there's never a line even when busy. They stamp your hand to check you in. There's always the classics, grocery store area. The bus that plays a fun beat. Post office area. Mechanic shop. Baby dedicated area. Little sad to see the baseball "exhibit" go away but looking forward to how they fill the space next. Cutest "wet floor sign" that you cannot miss in the bathroom.

Betty Brinn' Children's Museum had been recommended to me sometime ago, and my daughter and I…read morefinally took a day trip up to Milwaukee to check it out! We had our friends from another city meet us here for a 9:30 am Saturday play date. There was a bit of a line to get in, but nothing too crazy. Both kids (3 years old) had an absolute blast! The cost is reasonable, at only $14 per person (adults included) and you receive a $3 off voucher for the adjacent parking garage ($7 and some cents total after taxes). There is something to do for children of all ages, including. a quieter play area for tots and babies 4 and under, which was much needed after my daughter was trampled by a much older child in the Floor is Lava area. My daughter especially loved the outdoor play area on the balcony! I wish the cafe had more to offer or that there was a legitimate cafe attached with lunch options. We spent a solid 2 hours here, and could have spent even longer had we not had the hour drive back home before lunchtime. We will definitely be adding this place to our yearly "to do" list!

My daughter has a family membership to DW, so I'm a frequent guest. Today's visit was extra special…read morebecause Summerfest is underway and a cruise ship (failed to take a photo ) was docked right next to DW. We always take a trip up to the Pilot House and then outside onto the high deck for terrific views of the lake, SF grounds, and everything else in the harbor (including a Milwaukee Fire Dept. fireboat). Staff are always welcoming and so very attentive to the children. We always make a stop at the food kiosk to get a snack (a selection of the usual packaged snack foods along with hot dogs and pizza). My biggest complaint is how slow and long the check-in process is. There's usually only one person at the check-in desk, and many days there need to be two. There's a line for members, but unless there are two staff members at the desk, what difference does it make? We waited with everyone else today, which makes having a membership feel like less of a great thing. But there still needs to be a quicker process. Today while I was at the front desk I watched a woman purchase tickets online, and even that was such a long and involved process I think i would've quit and gone home.

For the amount of kids and families that come through here, I am impressed at the working displays…read moreand overall cleanliness of this museum. We came here on a Saturday and it was moderately busy yet we were able to see everything in a few hours. There are plenty of hands-on activities throughout for all ages and exhibits highlighting local individuals and companies as well. It's hard to say what my favorite area was because I enjoyed everything, but the aquariums, weather/ storm area and the corporate exploration station stick out in my mind as where I had the most fun personally. We didn't shop around the food or gift shop area but that could be an area we explore more next time. Discovery World is well worth the price of admission and the entire family is guaranteed to have fun while learning something new!

Date of visit: July 2026…read more NOT PARTICULARLY HD FANS We're not into Harley Davidsons or motorcycles at all for that matter, but while in Milwaukee, it seemed like the thing to do. Having visited the museum, (We spent 5 hours there, including lunch at the restaurant) I will say I 'get it' and have much more of an appreciation for the bikes and the HD community. LOCKERS AVAILABLE We purchased our tickets at the front desk and checked our bags and water into a locker (No need to have money for a locker). If you're visiting in the summer, don't leave your sweater in the locker as the museum was SO COLD! Restrooms are also in this area. WHAT TO EXPECT You will learn about the beginnings and history of HD, their rapid growth, learn about the different parts of the bikes, see hundreds of bikes through the years, see the progression of the HD logo, see a wall of different colored gas tanks (I loved this!) and be able to sit on some bikes. There are info boards to read and it never felt too crowded. ON-SITE RESTAURANT If you get hungry, there's a restaurant next to the river. There was a wait time, but we sat at the bar immediately. I will say, there weren't really healthy options on the menu. We had a burger. HARLEY GIFTS GALORE There's a gift shop across the 'campus' from the main museum. A/C TOO COLD Like I mentioned before, my main complaint was that the museum was WAY too cold, which made the experience slightly miserable. Other than that, it was very interesting and I'd recommend a visit. I'm now completely FASCINATED every time I encounter a Harley on the street! Helpful?

I've had hit-and-miss experiences here. Friday afternoon we came here on the way for a trip and the…read moreserver we had was amazing. Pretzel plate was delicious and drinks we good and great service. However, we hit here again on the way back from our trip Sunday afternoon and the server was horrible. I'm sorry to say because I'm sure she had a lot going on, but we said something about the chili being on the cold side and she did not offer to maybe reheat or get us something else. She just said, "I don't know what happened" and walked away. Took my drink away and didn't ask if I wanted another. I had to hunt her down to get a drink or order food. Maybe she was overwhelmed but just service is a hit or miss here.

What a nifty way to spend an afternoon. Provided that you're a vaguely cerebral (fair to say,…read more"nerdy") older sort, especially if you're a fella (I wouldn't recommend the place for most kids - especially not a gaggle of tween girls). All manner of The Work of Man memorialized in sculpture and painting, with a particularly nice Carl Spitzweg side gallery (worth a visit if you ever admired Norman Rockwell's "The Bookworm" - the original of which is also there, right outside the Spitzweg room - because you'll find its inspiration). Oh, and it's five bucks (I didn't even ask about the Senior Rate). And be careful not to trip over the students sunbathing on the grass in bikinis when looking at the magnificent sculptures in the rooftop garden.

Been living in the neighborhood almost a year and never gave thia place a secons thought. Realizing…read moreit was right next door to one of my favorite coffeeshops (Discourse) and that it was only $5, I gave it a shot. This is one of the best kept secrets in Milwaukee, honestly. The artwork on display is incredible, with some genuinely masterful pieces, as well as more modern interpretations. Mostly paintings with some sculptures, iron work, and videos. They even have a rooftop which offers incredible views of the skyline and features several large sculptures, just bw aware that it's closed for winter. I took an hour and a half to get through it, and that's just taking a peak at the rooftop. I would say you could spend upwards of 2 hours here with little difficulty.
