Things to Do

Iconic Milwaukee Stops

There will be a break between the ceremony and reception, but that doesn't mean the party stops!


Grab lunch. Rest up. Explore Milwaukee's historic Third Ward and other nearby neighborhoods. These are some of our favorite stops around the city, plus notable landmarks and events you can visit over the weekend.

The Explorium Brewpub Third Ward

143 W St Paul Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53203
(414) 423-1365

One of our favorite places - PERIOD! Explorium has great food, friendly staff, and a delicious collection of proprietary beer ranging from pilsner to stout. Claire and Josh have been loyal Mug Club members for over 2 years. Bonus: It's literally next-door to the reception.

Milwaukee RiverWalk

100 E Wisconsin Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53202
(414) 286-5802

Claire and Josh love walking along the Milwaukee River as soon as the Wisconsin winters end. This beautiful RiverWalk system stretches 20 blocks and is lined with many restaurants, boutiques, and sculptures.

Red Rock Saloon

1225 N Water St, Milwaukee, WI 53202
(414) 431-0467

Yes, you can visit it yourself... the bar where we met! If you're feeling daring, channel your inner cowboy or cowgirl and take a ride on their mechanical bull.

Milwaukee Public Market

400 N Water St, Milwaukee, WI 53202
(414) 336-1111

A great slice of Milwaukee, complete with a range of food and drink options. It's also home to the Foltz Family Market—no relation that we know of, but it couldn't hurt to mention that you're a guest for a Foltz family wedding.

Polish Fest

200 N Harbor Dr. Milwaukee, WI 53202

Milwaukee is known as the City of Festivals—Don't believe us? Here's proof—so it's no surprise that there's one happening over our wedding weekend. In a stroke of serendipity, it's Polish Fest, and Claire is very proud of her Polish heritage. Stop by to get some perogies and listen to traditional Polish tunes. There are also vodka tastings, if that floats your boat.

NorthSouth Club

230 E Pittsburgh Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53204
(414) 930-4827

Axe throwing and deck shuffleboard aren't uniquely Midwestern activities, but they are pretty darn fun. Test your aim and make us proud.

National Bobblehead Hall of Fame & Museum

170 S 1st St 2nd Floor, Milwaukee, WI 53204
(800) 414-1482

That's right—Milwaukee is home to a museum filled with bobbleheads of all shapes, sizes, and themes. It goes beyond the standard athlete figurines and features cartoon characters, historical figures, and so much more. Bonus points if you go there and mention Comedy Bang Bang.

3rd St. Market Hall

275 W Wisconsin Ave Suite 100, Milwaukee, WI 53203
(414) 249-5062

One of Milwaukee's newest dining destinations, this market hall has a wide range of food vendors, indoor lawn games, and a wall of self-serve beer taps.

Milwaukee Art Museum

700 N Art Museum Dr, Milwaukee, WI 53202
(414) 224-3200

Browse the museum that is as much a work of art as the galleries it houses. Plus, the Lakefront Festival of Art runs June 14-16 at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Shop paintings, ceramics, fiber, metalwork, and jewelry from more than 100 artists from across the nation. The festival is held rain or shine. Admission includes access to the Museum with drop-in tours available.

Harley-Davidson Museum

400 W Canal St, Milwaukee, WI 53201
(414) 287-2789

Josh is the proud owner of a Harley Sportster S. Visit the HD Museum to check out bikes like his and so many more.
