Very kid friendly. When grandsons come from Texas to visit, want to visit museum and "Streets of Old Milwaukee". Easy access from parking garage. Never have to leave cover if weather is less than ideal.

We also picked an IMAX movie on time. It was interesting, but definitely geared toward kids. Which was cool, just unexpected. All in all, a really nice visit, especially when we hadn't been in years. …
