What to do in Milwaukee?

Hi!!

 I grew up in NW Indiana so I'm really familiar with the Chicago area.  We just moved to the far northern Chicago suburbs (near Gurnee) last April and I haven't made it up to WI very often.  I suppose out of habit, we just go to Chicago.  I was browsing the board to get fun ideas but thought I'd post too.

I have a 4 year old, a 2.5 year old, and a 4 month old.  (all girls)

 I just saw there's a children's museum up there I'd like to check out.  How would you spend a day (or two) in the city with a family full of small kiddos?

Thanks guys!!!

We have a great zoo that's open all year: www.milwaukeezoo.org

Also, there's a public museum that kids like too (in addition to Betty Brinn): www.mpm.edu

A couple local hotels have indoor water parks, if you're planning to stay over (www.paradiselanding.com) and (http://www.countryspringshotel.com/).

The zoo has a family free day next weekend I believe so all you pay is parking. I think thats $8-$10.

Theres the museum, both the childrens and regular. 

We have Discovery world where you can do science type fun.

Theres the Domes that is indoors and pretty cheap. Its nice around this time with the holiday exhibits. 

I'm sure theres more but I can't think of anything. 

I'm so happy to be 5 months old!
