All the listed places are open to the public. Some areas may require additional fees. As of creating these articles these are open spaces!

#1 Kilbourn Park

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.

On the lower part of the park there is the pavilion and soccer fields. There is also the bridge to the Brew City on the lake and Swing park!

#2 Milwaukee Art Museum

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 Muesum white architecture can be perfect for stand alone photos selfies!

#3 Third Ward

If you’re getting hungry on your visit there are plenty of great places in the third ward. Not only is the third ward a great place to eat , take some amazing photos next to the cream city buildings.There are also great historic brick and creme built buildings as well which make fantastic backgrounds.

#4 Atwater Beach

We can’t forget the beaches. Milwaukees shoreline has plenty of beautiful beaches (at water, bradford, shorewood, south shore, Mckinley). Atwater however is one that many forget about. Atwater entry is hidden away and should be looked at if you want some great photos near the beach or the lake!

#5 Deer District

If it is game day, this is a given. However there are plenty of great places around the deer district to take photos! The primary being the fiserv forum and the Milwaukee Bucks enterance.

#6 Bradford Beach

Bradford beach is another great place to take photos. There is a large river line to take photos at.
