Things To Do in Milwaukee, WI

The Milwaukee School of Engineering is located downtown in lively East Town. When it comes time to relax and take a break from classes and late-night studying, MSOE students have a variety of things to do to unwind both on and off-campus. To meet fellow peers with the same interests, consider joining one of the many on-campus clubs. They have everything from archery to softball. Heading off-campus, there are several activities within walking distance, like shopping, dining, theaters, sports complexes, and more! 

The MSOE campus is a short walk or bike ride to Lake Michigan. Here, students can enjoy the sands of Bradford Beach, or walk the paved trail along the lakefront. As you continue south down the lakefront you will stumble upon the Milwaukee Art Museum, a city staple not to be missed! For sports lovers, students have teams to watch every season. From Bucks basketball and Admirals hockey during the winter and Brewers baseball during the spring and summer months, you’re covered for great tailgates and discounted tickets for being a student all year long! Speaking of Brewers, there are over 30 breweries located just in Milwaukee alone, which makes sense why it's the beer capital of the world and nicknamed “Brew City”. If you’re looking to take a brewery tour or grab a pint, make sure to check out Lakefront Brewery (also be sure to get their cheese curds) and Milwaukee Brewing Company, both of which are about 10 minutes from campus.  Whatever your interests may be, there is something for everyone in Milwaukee!

  • Scroll down to Lake Michigan
  • Explore the Milwaukee Art Museum 
  • Attend a Buck’s game 
  • Take a brewery tour

There are also numerous other hangout spots within a few blocks radius, like popular 3rd Street and eclectic Brady Street.

Juneau Park is a popular place where you can find students tossing a frisbee or football around or soaking up the sun on the lawn with a book.

If you prefer to stay dry, stroll down the Milwaukee Riverfront pathway—it’s best viewed at sunset!
