On Lake Michigan's western shore lies the City of Festivals, Milwaukee. While the lake itself is host to endless summer activities, the city is home to an array of events, museums, and historical societies. No wonder Vogue voted it "The Coolest City in the Midwest" in 2018.

Perhaps one of the reasons Milwaukee ranks the coolest is because of Discovery World. It covers 125 years of natural and human history, tropical rainforests, a European village, and live insects. You can also check out hands-on labs, animatronics, an IMAX theater, and a double helix staircase that wraps around a 40-foot model of the human genome. Another nifty thing in Milwaukee is the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory. It has three domes that feature extensive botanical gardens from different climates. There is a tropical dome, an arid dome, and a show dome that features four seasonal exhibits, along with a Christmas special.

When you need a break after getting lost in the natural world, Milwaukee has many institutions dedicated to history and culture. One must-see is America's Black Holocaust Museum, founded by lynching survivor James Cameron. It chronicles the history of the African American struggle in the United States. There is also the Harley-Davidson Museum for motorcycle lovers.

What city isn't complete with some odd things tucked away a bit off the path? Milwaukee has a secret SafeHouse, a spy-themed restaurant that requires a password to enter. They tend to feature magic shows, poker tournaments, and some fun little hidden gems around the building. Hint, they have some truly unusual ways of making a martini. If the clandestine world of spies and food isn't up your alley, take a trip to the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum is in order. There are 10,000 bobblehead dolls, so many that anyone might leave with a bit of vertigo.
