We finally made it this last weekend with some friends. The collection is pretty impressive, from sports, pop culture, tv shows, and more. There's a $5 fee which is fair. They have scavenger hunts for kids and you can try and find 'Waldo' for a small prize. Overall, we enjoyed the experience of checking out many different bobble heads. Give it a try!

I had never heard of it. My husband and I immediately decided a date day was in order. Located above a Colectivo location that I've been to on multiple occasions (how I never noticed what was upstairs, I cannot fathom---too focused on caffeination, maybe?), this little museum offers a quirky, reasonably priced afternoon. We walked in, paid, and were escorted to some benches where the museum docent gave us a quick overview and played a video that offered a more detailed overview. After that, we were able to wander the museum at our leisure. They have bobbleheads of all sorts from sports to pop culture. Over 10,000, actually. I enjoyed the pop culture side of things the most. Golden Girls bobbleheads? Wednesday Addams? Beetlejuice? Yes, yes, and yes. Patrons are also able to play a fun little game of Where's Waldo during their visit. We found him and got some fun little prizes. Where is Waldo?!? You'll have to find him for yourself--I'll never tell. Get to it!

It's my favorite time to visit since each room is activated with holiday decor, festive cheer, and pops of color! Year after year, a team of volunteers help staff transform the Pabst Mansion into this whimsical exhibition adding to the MKE beer baron's living experience. Each year, the colors and decor changes adding a unique experience every holiday season! Times entry and same day tickets are available in advance or at the door, though "at the door" occurs at street level in an adjacent building. A very small free parking lot is up the hill onsite next to the mansion but additional free parking is available across the street and is labeled with signage. If you haven't had the chance to visit during the holiday season, I do recommend it as something different to do during the colder months!

The building is under construction, we entered through the gift shop. We showed our NARM card for free entry. We started with an informative film about the history of the Pabst Mansion. Fifty of us were on the tour, we were broken into 2 groups & I followed Molly throughout the house. She pointed out interesting pieces & fascinating stories. Our hour long tour of the Pabst Mansion was a fascinating:90. We learned about the home, Pabst family & details about the architecture and furnishings of the home while exploring the 1st through 3rd floors. This house had electricity, inside plumbing, a telephone, central heat & 10 bathrooms. In 1892, Captain Frederick & Maria Pabst completed construction of their mansion, It was designed by George Bowman Ferry and Alfred Charles Clas, & cost $254,000. These art collectors, filled their mansion with priceless treasures. During the years of the Pabst family's ownership, the house was the scene of many fine parties and receptions, a wedding & in the end, their funerals. The Pabst descendants sold the house in 1908 and for 60 yrs. was the archbishop's residence When it was sold in 1975, the mansion was nearly torn down but become a museum & was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The rich history of an American motorcycle/automotive juggernaut is on stunning display at this beautiful campus, which is COMPLETE with the museum, restaurant, concert area, TWO stores (they have their own Outlet; "come on, can you say 75% OFF on a leather Harley Davidson jacket?!"), original structure from when the Davidson brothers and Harley started making magic, and grassy areas for picnics or just hanging out. And of course, "special parking" for HOGS! I could have spent all day here. EVERYONE who works there is super pleasant, professional, and FUN. And if your hands are tired of carrying all your shopping items (or you didn't bring an extra suitcase), guess what, they SHIP! I will definitely be back and I am eyeing a Road Glide Trike!

The customer service counter had motorcycle windshields which I thought was clever. I appreciated that the staff member let me know the bathrooms are on the first floor so I went there first before heading to the start of the museum on the 2nd floor. So many motorcycles to see! It was fun to see how they have progressed over time. The engine wall was beautiful, very aesthetically pleasing. I most enjoyed the displays that included anecdotes from the riders. If not going on 4-1-4 day, the museum is $25.

All manner of The Work of Man memorialized in sculpture and painting, with a particularly nice Carl Spitzweg side gallery (worth a visit if you ever admired Norman Rockwell's "The Bookworm" - the original of which is also there, right outside the Spitzweg room - because you'll find its inspiration). Oh, and it's five bucks (I didn't even ask about the Senior Rate). And be careful not to trip over the students sunbathing on the grass in bikinis when looking at the magnificent sculptures in the rooftop garden.

Realizing…read moreit was right next door to one of my favorite coffeeshops (Discourse) and that it was only $5, I gave it a shot. This is one of the best kept secrets in Milwaukee, honestly. The artwork on display is incredible, with some genuinely masterful pieces, as well as more modern interpretations. Mostly paintings with some sculptures, iron work, and videos. They even have a rooftop which offers incredible views of the skyline and features several large sculptures, just bw aware that it's closed for winter. I took an hour and a half to get through it, and that's just taking a peak at the rooftop. I would say you could spend upwards of 2 hours here with little difficulty.

Who among us can resist the lure of ginormous penguins projected onto a six-story, wraparound screen? I strongly recommend this IMAX dome for scenic documentaries as it offers patron a breathtaking experience. The theatre is clean and well maintained. It is a steep climb up the stairs to your seats, but precipitous incline means no staring at the back of the head of the person in front of you. The seats are spacious and there is legroom a plenty. There are a bunch of previews of upcoming documentaries before the main feature - thankfully these previews are far less obnoxious those that blast your senses at your suburban multiplex. Parking near the museum is always a challenge, so factor that in when planning your trip to this location. Pro-tip: Purchasing movie tickets at this IMAX scores you a discount on your admission to the adjoining Milwaukee Public Museum.

We purchased the house from a Mr. Schneiker and lived there until 1976, when my employers wanted me to move to Chicago. With the benefit of retrospect, putting career ahead of things you love - like the Jonathan Clark House - was a big mistake. My wife and I were among the small group of folks who initiated the Stone House Tour in Mequon and Cedarburg. I have no idea whether the Stone House Tour continues to exist... but it was an annual big event in Mequon and Cedarburg - drawing up to a thousand people who wanted to see these historic residences. We saw a log building for sale a year or two after we moved into the Jonathan Clark House. We bought it on the spot! With my father and Brother we disassembled the one room log house, moved it over to the grounds of the Jonathan Clark House, reassembled it, re-roofed it and put on a garage door. It was a perfect re-purposing of a building that was otherwise likely to be demolished. I hope it is still there! We're happy it is still being well tended! Bill Welty
