Milwaukee, Wisconsin Attractions
Unusual landmarks, museums, roadside attractions, and hidden wonders in Milwaukee and the surrounding area.
Sure, many tourists go to Milwaukee for the brewery tours, but this suds-soaked city has much more to offer, from Bronz Fonz to the Harley-Davidson Museum to the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame. Milwaukee displays America's only model of the Hindenburg's sister-Zeppelin and the world's only polka-playing escalator. Visit the spot where Teddy Roosevelt was shot (and survived), and for a true glimpse of Wisconsin identity, take a tour of the Cheesehead-hat factory.
