An Overview. Main attractions in the city of Milwaukee.

The domes. They are lovely, an opportunity to see many exotic plants.

The Botanical Gardens. The rose garden is a taste of England.

Lake Park. We took our engagement pictures at the Lion Bridge and the North Point Lighthouse. A great spot for romantic walks or rollerblading!

German fest. The City of Fests has yet another. A great place to hear yodeling and eat bratwurst!

Milwaukee Brewers. If you are into baseball this is the place.

The Petit National Ice Center. Check out their public skating hours. Probably the largest rink you will ever ice skate in.

Milwaukee Art Museum. Even if you lack the time to see the rest of the museum you can enter the Calatrava and admire the incredible architecture.

Gallery Night and Day. This is a chance to explore the Third Ward, one of our favorite parts of Milwaukee. Visit the Private Gardener and say "Hello" to our floral designer, Jonathan. :)
