Welcome to Milwaukee
If You Have….

AN HOUR

UWM STUDENT UNION & FOUNTAIN
If you only have an hour or two, we would recommend checking out the UWM Student Union, picking up some merchandise in the Panther Shop, or taking a picture in front of the UWM fountain or the new Panther statue located by Enderis Hall.

AN EVENING

LUNCH & DINNER
If you’re looking to grab a bite to eat, be sure to check out the various restaurants located on Downer Avenue, North Avenue and Oakland Avenue, in neighborhoods surrounding UWM.

A WEEKEND

THEATERS, BEACHES & MORE
If you have a weekend to spend in Milwaukee, we recommend checking out the vibrant city life by seeing a show at the Milwaukee Theatre or the historic Pabst Theatre. Cheer on the Bucks or catch a concert at the Fiserv Forum. We also recommend checking out the beautiful lakefront and Bradford Beach, or maybe even seeing a Milwaukee Brewers baseball game at Miller Park!
