Attractions

The Domes

As Milwaukee is a winter wonderland more than six months out of the year there isn't a lot of opportunity for horticultural gardens exposed to the elements. The three huge glass domes, known simply as The Domes, are one of the city's most recognizable landmarks. Here you can visit a desert habitat, a rainforest, and a variety of other green exhibits which provide pleasant contrast to the frigid city during your tour of Milwaukee by car rental.

Milwaukee Public Museum

If you're looking for one location to please everyone in your group by car rental in Milwaukee the Milwaukee Public Museum is your place.  Watch a film at the IMAX theater, visit the largest planetarium in the state, or visit thrilling and beautiful exhibits such as Butterflies Alive. Since indoor activities are the preferable for most of the year the city features a wealth of other fine museums.  Check out the Harley-Davidson Museum, the Betty Brinn Children's Museum, and Discovery World Museum at Pier Wisconsin.

McKinley Marina and Beach

When the weather is nice the best fun by car rental in Milwaukee can be found on the beach or in the city's parks.  Popular for fishing and relaxing on warm summer days, McKinley Park is a lovely place to spend the afternoon.  There is a giant breakwater that you can walk along that goes out into Lake Michigan, as well as a nice little pedestrian bridge that leads to the park from Lincoln Memorial Drive.
