Other Sights to see in Wisconsin

Everyone should try to plan on coming a few days before the convention begins, or to stay a few days after it’s over, in order to check out some of the wonderful things Wisconsin has to offer.

In the Milwaukee area, there are numerous places to see:

• Take a tour of the Miller brewery www.millerbrewing.com/takeTour/takeTour.asp   Miller is the last major brewery in the Milwaukee area.  It’s a fun tour, and it’s free.
• The Milwaukee Public Museum and IMAX theatre www.mpm.edu/.
• If you’re into plants and gardening, see the Mitchell Park Domes www.countyparks.com .
• Visit the Milwaukee County Zoo www.milwaukeezoo.org/, which is rated second only to the San Diego Zoo, for being the finest in the United States.
