Milwaukee, with its beautiful four seasons, lives up to its nickname: “A great city on a Great Lake.” And with enough cultural and sports attractions to rival cities twice its size, it’s hard to know just which activities to explore! 100 Things to Do in Milwaukee Before You Die is your companion to discover—or re-disocver—this Midwestern gem. Tour a few (or all!) of the many craft breweries throughout the city. The Fiserv Forum, home of the Milwaukee Bucks, also serves as a sprawling entertainment complex that has reinvigorated the west side of downtown. Don’t miss the Milwaukee Art Museum and a chance to take a photo in front of its expansive white “wings.” Looking for live entertainment? The opulent Pabst and Riverside Theaters bring in top-notch comedy and musical acts. Whether you’re in the mood for fine dining or a more casual meal, recommendations like Lake Park Bistro and the Milwaukee Public Market will not disappoint.

A great concise listing of Milwaukee's top hits for tourist destinations and for locals. I didn't find anything that I wasn't already aware of as a resident, but this fit the bill regardless. It's very easy to navigate and find just the right thing.
Suggested itineraries in the back of the book are a nice touch and are based on theme or season. However, this book lacks a map for finding something just around the corner as you explore the city.
This is a great starting place of you're looking for ideas of places to go and things to do. My only complaint is I'd like a little more detail on what the "Family Friendly" tag means. Like OK for toddlers or more like middle school?
