Lots to see! We decided to visit once more before the new museum comes around. We loved the Streets of Old Milwaukee and the great white shark showing at the planetarium. However, you can tell that it’s a little outdated so a new museum will be exciting to see!

In the butterfly exhibit, we noticed a few butterflies with damaged wings. Not sure if it’s from kids trying to grab the butterflies. Another thing to note is that before being let in the butterfly exhibit, a staff at the door reminds visitors not to climb and be respectful of the butterflies, but once being let in there are kids still climbing all over the rocks to try to grab the butterflies. Speaking of kids, there are lots of them running around and climbing on things like it’s a playground. Some kids almost accidentally ran into us while we were looking at exhibits putting a damper on the museum experience. Because of this, it would be nice to have quiet hours or even a day for just adults 21+ over in the new museum.

As for parking- love the convenience of it being connected right to the museum but it took awhile to find a parking spot due to the tight compact car only parking spaces being taken up by large trucks, so hopefully the new parking garage for the new museum location will be easier.

As for food- hoping there will be more food options in the museum. My girlfriend was thirsty and just wanted a snack but all that was open at the time was the coffee and a vending machine or she had to wait for the cafe to open.

All in all, we had some fun and were able to spend a few hours here and were able to step foot in it one last time. Excited for the new museum and the future of it all!
