Milwaukee – Something to Talk About
Located on the shores of Lake Michigan, Milwaukee is a jewel of the Great Lakes perhaps best known for its famed breweries, but there's much more to this diverse and vibrant city.

Other popular attractions include the Milwaukee Art Museum, the world renowned Milwaukee County Zoo, and Summerfest, a musical celebration along Milwaukee’s lakefront that attracts a million visitors per year. Of course a trip to Milwaukee would not be complete without a tour of the Miller Brewing Company and the historic caves where Frederick J. Miller cooled his brew back in 1855. And a Brewers baseball game at Miller Park, which features the only fan-shaped convertible roof in North America, is not to be missed. |
