About this adventure

Nestled in the historic and walkable Historic Third Ward, the Milwaukee Public Market is a bustling gastronomic hub celebrating local Wisconsin culinary heritage and community gathering. On weekend mornings, the market comes alive with family-friendly vibes, where kids can watch fresh artisan sourdough breads baked in open ovens, observe artisanal cheese makers slicing famous Wisconsin sharp cheddars and fresh squeaky cheese curds, and taste warm apple cider donuts, fruit smoothies, and specialty gelato. The second-floor Palm Garden mezzanine provides plenty of family table seating where families can enjoy diverse takeout lunches under sunny skylights while watching the vibrant bustle below. The entire market building is ADA accessible, equipped with a wide passenger elevator providing easy access to the mezzanine with strollers. Both the ground level and upper floor feature clean, family-friendly restrooms fitted with sturdy sanitary diaper changing tables, sanitizing dispensers, and handwashing sinks. Comfortable cushioned seating areas on the mezzanine also offer convenient, calm spots for mothers nursing infants. Stroller parking is permitted in designated alcoves near the stairs, making it easy to settle in for lunch without crowding dining tables, and outdoor patio benches along St. Paul Avenue offer scenic streetcar watching where children can marvel at The Hop streetcar gliding by.
