We utilized groupon tickets to do the sunset happy hour cruise on our recent trip to Milwaukee. Overall it was a good experience and the views were fantastic, I was just slightly disappointed as we had been expecting at least a couple of information points such as "this building is the _____" More

We decided to go on a boat ride on our recent trip to Milwaukee. This was very relaxing and lasted about 90 minutes. It starts on the river and then travels through different wards of the city and out into Lake Michigan. Our guide had lots of fun and informative facts about the city. Overall a fun experience for 15.00... More

We had Groupon tickets and decided to use them even though it was cool & overcast. The downstairs level was warm enough to only need a sweatshirt. We enjoyed the music & drinks on the 6 pm tour. We'll probably be back next time we're in town to try the sightseeing tour with the kids. More

We took the Dowtown and Rivers cruise and had a wonderful time. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a great overview of the city. The boat did not travel very far, but I would definitely recommend this tour, especially if the weather is nice. The price was very reasonable! More

There are several boat cruise options in Milwaukee. We took the Milwaukee Boat Line's "Lake and Harbor" cruise. The is not the beer party cruise. This cruise has a Milwaukee historian that narrates the 1 1/2 cruise so you learn interesting facts about Milwaukee's harbor, islands, lakefront, architecture, and industries making it a family friendly excursion for everyone. The cruise... More
