HD & beers - more than enough reasons to visit Milwaukee
Being a huge fan and considering these motorcycles world's most sophisticated and beautiful, visiting this museum was the top reason for our day trip from Chicago. I found the entry fee slightly over 20$ reasonable for exhibition spreading on 2 floors and top vault. Museum is well organized. The first floor (where you enter) starts with founding explanations, first models produced, HD role in WWI and WWII as well in almost all public services. Most interesting on the lower floor (ground floor) for me were the custom made and decorated models which are indeed work of art.

Huge Collection of American History
One of the iconic American symbols is a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Whether your are a motorcycle owner or not this museum is worth a visit. They have a huge collection of Harley's an other vehicles the company has made. It was fascinating learning about the history of the company and seeing all the bikes on displays. The only criticisms are the admission price ($22/person is quite high). If you wanted an audio guide it was an additional $5/person. I can't speak to the audio guide because we just did the self-guided tour. I know the company had financial problems several years ago, so I guess they have to try and make money some way. The other criticisms are the fact that they make you wear a masks. I know they want people to do it for their safety, but generally that's in areas where you can't social distance. This museum is huge and would you are definitely able to keep your distance from others. I did some people without a masks, so I 'm not sure how much it's enforced. Finally, the other criticism is not being able to bring bottled water into the museum. I realize there are many priceless bikes and you don't want people eating and have the potential for people to spill on the bikes. However, most places don't have a problem with water. Someone in our group drinks a lot of water to stay hydrated and they made her put her water in a locker even though it was in a bottle with a cap. They have a huge gift shop across the street that has many Harley items. It's worth a stop if you're in Milwaukee. You could easily spend half a day or more here.
