About this adventure
Milwaukee's natural and human history museum, with three and a half floors of exhibits: walk-through dioramas of Africa, Asia, Europe, the Arctic, the Pacific Islands and a Costa Rican rainforest, the turn-of-the-century Streets of Old Milwaukee and the European Village, a dinosaur hall with the world's largest-known dinosaur skull and a life-size T. rex replica, and a 76-degree indoor butterfly garden with free-flying butterflies. Admission includes one planetarium program in the Daniel M. Soref Dome Theater and Planetarium; Dome Theater films are extra. The museum is preparing to move to a new building, and some specimens have been or will be taken off display during 2026.
