Grab a fruit smoothie and iced coffee from local café Colectivo on the Lakefront and head north to the bay-shaped McKinley Beach in downtown Milwaukee. It’s less crowded than neighboring Bradford Beach and has a playground to wear out your little ones.
You can also catch beautiful views of the boats in McKinley Marina.
If you’re up for a walk, check out Veterans Park, just south of McKinley Beach. There’s lots of space to run, fly a kite, or enjoy the lagoon.
