I was in Milwaukee on a rainy Monday following a Packers game in late October. Needed something to do before heading to the airport. Art museum was closed, so I decided to "take a chance" on this museum. Exhibits were much more impressive than I thought. They spanned both time, from the ancient world, and geography for today's world. The re-creation of Old Town Milwaukee was also quite enjoyable. They also have some sky shows, which are included with ticket purchase. Though I think they're running a limited schedule during the pandemic. There's a cafe on the entry floor, though I think it's also running on a reduced schedule. Instead of filling up time, I had to cut my visit off after three hours to head to the airport.

So much fun!
We planned on visiting this museum for a couple of hours, but ended up spending close to four hours there and put on a couple of miles worth of steps! We brought our two sons to see the dinosaur exhibit, which was awesome, but they really loved the whole museum! Our older son was fascinated by the mummies and all of the ancient artifacts from different parts of the world. Every corner and nook was used to display something of interest and we loved exploring and learning as a family. We didn't take advantage of any of the films available to watch in the theater but we viewed every exhibit and had a great time. We definitely plan on returning!
