Located on the North side of Milwaukee Kilbourn Park has a phenomenal view of the city of Milwaukee! There are also occasional concerts and events at the pavilion.
Tip: When you go there there will be a bottom park where the soccer fields are. But there is another park on the other side of the road with a higher view of the city. One part of Kilbourn park involves the soccer field. The other park nearby allows you to see a full view of the Milwaukee upper east side and Lake Michigan.
On the lower part of the park there is the pavilion and soccer fields. There is also the bridge to the Lake Front Brewery and Swing park! This is also close to Brady Street where you can find somewhere to eat.
The lower part of the park goes down to the riverwalk of the Milwaukee River. There is a lot to explore in this area.

How can this not be on the list! Both the interior and exterior are great places to visit. The outside lies right next to lake Michigan and plenty of places to ride bikes and roller skates.
If you have some additional time, visit inside the museum and check out the discovery world as well (my favorite is the aquarium).
The Milwaukee Art Museum white architecture can be perfect for stand alone photos selfies!

You can take great portraits and photos here for any occasion. Just be aware of any signs that say no photography.
