Let your wild side run free at the Milwaukee County Zoo! This zoo is recognized as one of the country's finest animal attractions. With over 2,000 animals and 330 species, it is not difficult to see why. See penguins and polar bears, bonobos and gorillas, cheetahs and lions, almost every type of animal that you have read about! Learn about these animals, their natural habitats and what you can do to support their continued existence.
Engage in hands-on learning about science, nature and sustainable living at the Urban Ecology Center. The center has two outdoor "laboratories," located in two urban parks, which feature 15 acres of woodland, a lagoon and riparian habitat on the east bank of the Milwaukee River. The parks also house a habitat-themed playground, as well as seasonal swimming, boating and skating.
Escape boredom at the Potawatomi Bingo Casino! Whether you are interested in gambling or looking for a good show at the Vegas-caliber theater, you will find a little slice of Sin City in Mil Town. Fine dining and special events, like poker tournaments, are available in the casino. Guests can also stay in one of the many hotels near Potawatomi Bingo Casino.
Not all Milwaukee festivals occur during the summer. Party for four weekends after Labor Day at the Bavarian Inn's annual Oktoberfest, the oldest and most authentic Oktoberfest in the Midwest. Enjoy delicious food and local brews, as well as music, dancing and live performances.
