Who would have thought that a city that was once the largest beer producer in the world could make you feel like a kid again?\u00a0 Well, Milwaukee has plenty of ways to do just that… oh, and they still have beer!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span>1- Ride a Bike –<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, I know that adults ride bikes.\u00a0 However, I had not ridden a bike since I was a fearless child launching myself down hills and around turns with no regard for my personal safety.\u00a0 I must admit things have changed a bit now that I’m a clumsy adult.\u00a0 I’m a bit more cautious now, but my skills came back quickly.\u00a0 You know what they say, it was just like riding a bike.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee has gotten in on the bike sharing game with their <\/span>Bublr Bikes<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0 Its a great way to avoid traffic, get a bit exercise, and take in the scenery surrounding beautiful Lake Michigan.\u00a0 Pricing to rent a Bublr ranges from $3 for a 30 minute ride, to $80 for a year of unlimited rides.\u00a0 So you can save our environment and few bucks!<\/p>\n

<\/span>2- Play James Bond –<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Behind a door marked “International Exports” you’ll find an interrogation room.\u00a0 Reveal the password or prepare for your clearance test.\u00a0 Passwords, riddles, scavenger hunts, secret passageways; it’s enough to make any kid giddy.\u00a0 However after 8pm, Safe House<\/a><\/span> is only for the young at heart (and the over 21 at body).\u00a0 With the actual kids out of the way, you’ll have all the puzzles to yourself and you can enjoy a Great Spytini, shaken by being shot through a tube that runs throughout the restaurant.\u00a0 Safe House has been a hidden gem and local legend since it’s opening in 1966 (long before the speakeasy\/theme bar trend) and no trip to Milwaukee would be complete without a visit.<\/p>\n

<\/span>3- A Day At The Zoo –<\/strong><\/p>\n

A day at the zoo is a great time for young and old alike, but I challenge you not to giggle like a school girl (or boy) while feeding a giraffe!\u00a0 At 10:30am and 3pm, the Milwaukee Zoo<\/a> offers a limit number of guests the chance to get up close and personal with these beauties, for a nominal cost that goes to support the care of the animals at the zoo.\u00a0 You haven’t lived until you’ve been slobbered on by a giraffe.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/span>4- BOUNCE –<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bounce Milwaukee<\/a>, where have you been all of my life?\u00a0 Adult sized bounce houses.\u00a0 I’ll say that again… Adult. Sized. Bounce. Houses.\u00a0 Why did it take so long to figure this out?\u00a0 Bounce Milwaukee also has a bar featuring local beer, laser tag, a free play arcade, and maybe the best massage chair I’ve ever experienced.\u00a0 Did I mention adult bounce houses?\u00a0 Oh, and don’t get me started on the tater tot pizza!<\/p>\n

If you’re like me and have figured out that being an adult is highly overrated, (until we figure out time travel) I suggest a trip to Milwaukee.<\/p>\n
