For anyone traveling in or near Milwaukee, the Harley-Davidson Museum is sure worth a visit. It’s downtown and was easy to find. My wife, grandson and I really enjoyed the place -- even though we aren't bikers. The museum occupies a couple of floors in the building it's in and is filled with displays of Harley-Davidson bikes in chronological order.... more

I stopped by during a road trip this summer. As a non-motorcyle person, I wasn't sure what to expect. The museum was very interesting - the history was layed out very well. I also liked the wall highlighting the gas tank art work. Food was great too. Definitely a fun experience for all! more

I visited the museum in aug. I have absolutely zero interest in motorcycles, but was pleasantly surprised by the museum. The building was amazing and I loved seeing the old bikes. There was a lot of neat pop culture exhibits too. It really is a combination of an art, history and bike museum in one. Very well done!! Oh, almost... more

The Harley Davidson Museum in Milwaukee Wisconsin is a must see for anyone interested in motorcycles and even for the history buffs would enjoy how motorcycles were used in history. Plus the building architecture is very modern and also the displays are set up with a touch of retro to mystery. My favorite thing when we were there had to... more

We went to the museum during the Milwaukee Rally held over Labor Day weekend, and got to experience the museum with the community of Harley enthusiasts. The museum was a lot more extensive than I expected, but since I am not a die hard fan, I lost interest half way through. They have bikes from the very beginning of the... more

When my colleague suggested we go to this museum on our afternoon off, I smiled and feigned excitement. Oh well, I'm sure it will be OK, I thought. I'm a total NPR/CNN girly girl who hasn't given much thought to Harleys, let alone a museum about them. But off we went. Well, I haven't been able to stop talking about... more

Cool architecture, interesting history, beautiful exhibits--the Harley-Davidson museum is a mix of american history museum, art museum, and science museum. There's a lot to see, and read about, and interactive exhibits, it was cool sitting on some of the motorcycles. and the place is worthwhile for anyone, not just bikers. It's kind of surprising that this museum wasn't built along... more

Even if you don't own a Harley, or even ride a motorcycle, this museum is a must see while in or driving through Milwaukee. It was a perfect stop for us while driving from Chicago on the way to Green Bay. We spent a good 3 hrs there. There are a couple of restaurants on site. One - more of... more

We visited this museum not for the motorcycles, but for the architecture of the place. To be honest, I thought this would be quite boring as we're not bikers. However, the Museum and its grounds turned out to be one of our favorite things about Milwaukee! The museum itself it amazing - plan to spend the better part of a... more
