These Spring activities in Milwaukee range from fun in the sun to fine dining, but they will guarantee you the best Spring yet!

Nature Spring Activities in Milwaukee
Bike Trails
There are so many amazing bike trails across the city of Milwaukee, so if you’re a biker (or want to be), Springtime in Milwaukee is perfect for you! Get active and explore the city, and even check out a bike from a Bublr station! Happy Biking!
Spring Clean Up
What are you doing Earth Day weekend? If you don’t have plans, join Milwaukee Riverkeeper in cleaning up our river basin! They provide the trash bags (and a free T-shirt), and you can spend a day in nature and maybe even find some cool souvenirs.
Mitchell Park Domes
The Mitchell Park Domes are one of my favorite attractions year-round, but they make an especially fun Spring activity! The Domes are three giant greenhouses that display a variety of plants and flowers that are updated seasonally. Not only are the Domes a beautiful attraction, but a trip to the Domes can be an educational, fun, and relaxing experience.
Veterans Park Kite Flying
When the weather gets really nice, you can fly a kite in Veterans Park! With Lake Michigan providing the perfect view, put the phones away, and lean into the fun of kite-flying!
Boerner Botanical Gardens
Plan a trip to Milwaukee’s living museum this Spring, and become amazed by the beauty of nature! With classes, fairs, and a rosarium to explore, there is so much fun to be had at the botanical gardens! (Note: This is one of my sister’s favorite Milwaukee attractions!)
Milwaukee County Parks
Visit any of Milwaukee County’s parks this Spring! There are trails, golf courses, dog parks, sandy beaches, and more! A trip to the park is always free, fun, and simple!

Colectivo Lakefront
The historic Milwaukee River Flushing Station is now home to a cute coffee shop! With a chill, scenic view of Lake Michigan, Colectivo Lakefront also offers great coffee and vegan food options! (Come back in the Summer for live outdoor entertainment.)

Located in the Historic Third Ward, Milwaukee Ale House is home to live music and multiple varieties of beer. The building alone is a stunning warehouse overlooking the Milwaukee River, and the vibe is unmatched! If you’re a beer-drinker, this is the place for you this Spring!

Black Cat Alley is an outdoor art space with over 20 murals painted by artists all around the world. Located on Milwaukee’s East Side, it is a great place to visit and take pictures. When the weather is warmer, you can even find musicians playing in this space or people taking wedding photos. I’ve never seen a more beautiful alley, so if you get a chance, visit Black Cat Alley! (Note: There are so many amazing restaurants nearby!)
