Are you a curious drinker? Experience over 160 years of brewing history with a modern-day twist at the Miller Brewery Tour. Come in the summer and enjoy a complimentary cold one in the brewery’s gorgeous biergarten after the tour.

3. Inspire yourself at the Lakefront Festival of Art

4. Zip down a line at Lake Geneva Canopy Tours 

Need more green in your life? How about hollering? Take a 2.5 hour zip line tour of the local treetops. Not enough? The expansive 100-acre property is also home to a high ropes course – made up of 16 suspended obstacles – and a dozen miles of trail for hiking or biking. What’s not to like? Check out Lake Geneva Canopy Tours for some guaranteed fun.

6. Axe throwing bar.

…How much more do we need to say about that?

7. Get out on the water at Clearwater Outdoor

Want a refreshing cool taste of Milwaukee that is NOT beer? Renting a kayak, stand-up paddle board or an inner tube and floating down the river is fun for the whole family. We love this!
