I'll be in Wisconsin for two weeks, by myself, for work. Instead of watching Cops reruns in a hotel room, what are some fun things to do in Milwaukee?
So far I just have my purple Vikings ball cap per my Uncle's suggestion.

Cheeseheads are Packer fans. I opened this expecting something about the Packers.

You should be banned for mentioning Cheeseheads as fans of that other team

Cool avatar! I used to have an R 75-5 with silver toaster tank. I should have kept it!


As for Milwaukee, the Art Museum downtown is a good start.
Plenty of brewery tours are available too

The three glass titties. (botanical gardens)



The Safe House (bar)




Brewery tours, there's a river boat tour that does breweries I think.




The lake front isn't a bad walk along several miles of it.

The domes, really? Those things suck and you have to travel through the ghetto to get there. The Safe House is cool though.

Can't help.
You are about as far away as you can get from the most fun I've had in WI - tubing down the Apple River.

Lots of microbreweries to try and brewery tours to take.

Watch the Brewers suck.

Avoid the area north of I-94, west of I-43.

Milwaukee you say? Make sure to hit up AJ Bombers and grab a burger

Sounds like all the WI folk are in agreement. Drink.

I'll be staying near the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center. Is that a good neighborhood or sketchy ghetto? Does WI even have a ghetto or compared to LA is it just kind midwesterners everywhere?

Does WI have a ghetto? Milwaukee is becoming North Chicago. Not sure about the area you mentioned though.

They make this hash brown thing stuffed with their ham.

Um Milwaukee has always been ghetto. That has nothing to do with Chicago.

There is a gun store/range close by at 43rd and Lincoln.

I dont recall the name because I havent been there in years because it was rumored they collected peoples info and gave it to the police.
But if your bored its something to do.

As far as brewery tours, I'd suggest:

Lakefront brewery
Miller Brewing
Milwaukee Brewing company.

As far as places to eat, I like the Benelux for breakfast(their beer selection is insane), AJ Bombers has arguably the best burgers in town(Kopps is excellent as well). Water Street Brewery is a good lunch location.. the Milwaukee Ale house is pretty good. The Safe House is fun if you've never been there.

Things to do:
Harley museum is you like H-D.
Potawatomi casino if you like to gamble
Milwaukee Public Museum
Milwaukee Art museum

There's a boat beer tour, you can also get a fishing charter if you are into that.

The Vikings hat is a good call. Definitely do that.

He'd get more shit if he wore bears gear. Most people in SE WI don't bother hating on the Vikings much unless they're competitive.

Lakefront Brewery on Friday night for one of the best tours in the country, followed by a fishfry and polka.

AJ Bombers for burgers and cheese curds down town.

This man nailed it.  I'll second the Milwaukee public Museum.

Plan on blowing a full day if you are into that sort of thing.  museum link

You have two weeks, don't be afraid to hop the train to Chicago, the shedd aquarium and their museums, bars, and food are worth a couple of days.

It looks like I am going to come home with a gut. Thanks for the spots. I will pop into a free states gun store while I'm there to see what I am missing out on too.
As for the Milwaukee Public Museum, well thats my job site. I will be there often.

The Three Lions Pub is a fun spot. It is a British Pub owned and run by British folks. They do a full English breakfast on Saturday mornings.
