Go kayaking in the Milwaukee River
The one best thing about visiting a city with a river flowing through it is you have all the liberty to paddle down the waters kayaking, canoeing or simply on a stand-up paddleboard. You get to have the views you would never see otherwise if not paddling the kayak or canoe on the pristine river water. While getting a view of the city from the river, you can also stop for lunch at the Lakefront brewery.
Visit the Harley Davidson Museum
It was here in Milwaukee that the now world famous Harley Davidson motorcycle company inaugurated its first branch almost more than a century ago. If you are a HD fan, this museum is no less than a pilgrimage for you as it is the birth place of Harley Davidson. There are artifacts of their history and moreover, you get the treat of having a complete informational tour of the motorcycle history in America. Milwaukee is so good a place that people even book business class flights if economy seats go out of sale. Just imagine the charm of the city that makes people take this worthy decision.
Go on a road trip
One of the fun things to do in Milwaukee for adults is going on a road trip. A great thing about the city is not its being the drinking town but the fact that it is settled in the beautiful Wisconsin, a state full of little twins, strange yet appealing roadside attractions and breathtakingly amazing sceneries all around. So, take a day out especially for a road trip to the nearby places like Parfrey’s Glen, Morgan Falls and Mirror Lake.
