Thankfully, they offer trams to bring you between the villages. We opted to walk and it was quite the work out on a late July day. But, loved the experience to help bring us back in time a bit. They do have a few treats along the way like ice cream, food and beer/canned adult beverages/soda, but I definitely recommend you bring water or snacks. It can be a long day if you take your time and check out all the buildings, which I highly recommend. The staff are so friendly and informative and answer questions patiently. Very impressed with all of the staff!!

We had our friends from another city meet us here for a 9:30 am Saturday play date. There was a bit of a line to get in, but nothing too crazy. Both kids (3 years old) had an absolute blast! The cost is reasonable, at only $14 per person (adults included) and you receive a $3 off voucher for the adjacent parking garage ($7 and some cents total after taxes). There is something to do for children of all ages, including. a quieter play area for tots and babies 4 and under, which was much needed after my daughter was trampled by a much older child in the Floor is Lava area. My daughter especially loved the outdoor play area on the balcony! I wish the cafe had more to offer or that there was a legitimate cafe attached with lunch options. We spent a solid 2 hours here, and could have spent even longer had we not had the hour drive back home before lunchtime. We will definitely be adding this place to our yearly "to do" list!

We came here on a Saturday and it was moderately busy yet we were able to see everything in a few hours. There are plenty of hands-on activities throughout for all ages and exhibits highlighting local individuals and companies as well. It's hard to say what my favorite area was because I enjoyed everything, but the aquariums, weather/ storm area and the corporate exploration station stick out in my mind as where I had the most fun personally. We didn't shop around the food or gift shop area but that could be an area we explore more next time. Discovery World is well worth the price of admission and the entire family is guaranteed to have fun while learning something new!

It had been a few years since I was here. I won't make that mistake again.

Though I'm sure the new MPM will be amazing, I'm still bummed to know this museum is closing soon!…read moreMy kids are big fans of this place. So crazy that it hasn't changed a bit since I would go here on school trips years and years ago. The exhibits continue to offer so much! From taking you through the dino-ages, to exploring the rainforest, and Native American history. Lots of areas to check out. Favorite has to be the Streets of Old Milwaukee which is just so immersive. We also love the butterfly room (so many live butterflies!) and the planetarium dome theater, which shows various educational films. They ask that you don't have food and drinks while touring around (understandable), but they have a huge cafe/dining area on the ground level. It's great because you can bring your own packed lunch and snacks, or purchase from their various offerings. Underground parking, easy check-in, and friendly staff, too!

It took until adulthood for me to learn there's a button to make the rattlesnake move. (If you know, you know).

To the powers that be that may stumble across this review - this exhibit and what you do with it when you move will do a lot to make or break public sentiment.

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!

So I've now visited the museum for the last few years during Art in Bloom with my floral designer…read moremother. The first visit just awed me with the sheer creativity of the floral designers. The venue is stunning and it's a cool event. Year two was a little underwhelming. We didn't enjoy the exhibits as much, the food choices were underwhelming and the drinks were expensive and boring. Year three, this year, we were once again impressed by the event. Some designs you love, some not so much. The museum, however, has stepped up their food offerings and specialty cocktails and therefore created a more cohesive vibe. They do seem to have multiplied their security staff by about 4X during the show and the guards were a little bit intrusive, but I get it. And yes, I took a zillion pictures every year, but they are very specific to the event and didn't represent the normal vibe, so I'm not sharing them all here.

In each room, there was a narrator to tell us details about the room and how it related to the book. It was a cute event that helped put me in the Christmas spirit. The only downside was that there wasn't much art during our visit. And because the timed tours were coming through, we didn't get much time to look around before we had to move to the next room. It felt a bit rushed. I wish in addition to the guided tour, we could have time to look around on our own.

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!

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.

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.
