A Milwaukee classic, the Harley Davidson Museum features everything you want to know about your favorite motorcycles as well as the history of Harley-Davidson! In celebration of Milwaukee day, admission to the museum is only $4.14 from 10–6 PM!

Milwaukee Art Museum

Another well-known Milwaukee attraction is the Milwaukee Art Museum, home of 30,000 works of art and beautiful lakefront views. General admission for students is $17, but if you’re a Peck School of the Arts student, pick up your MAM sticker (under Department Resources) to get in for free!

Black Cat Alley

Visit Black Cat Alley to get your photo taken in front of a unique Milwaukee street art destination. This alley is an award-winning outdoor art gallery (just around the corner from Ian’s Pizza) that is made up of nearly 20 hand-painted murals!

Mitchell Park Domes

Escape the Midwest for a little while and visit the Mitchell Park Domes this 414 Day, a long-time Milwaukee classic. This attraction is made up of three domes: with the show dome, tropical dome, and desert dome. Admission is $5 for students (bring your ID) from 9–4 PM!

We think Milwaukee has a lot to offer, Panthers. Get out this #414Day and try something new, go somewhere you haven’t been, and see parts of Milwaukee you’ve never seen before!
