Pick Three

What are three only-in-Milwaukee experiences you would recommend for groups meeting in the city?

• Start your engines with a visit to the world’s only Harley-Davidson Museum (www.h-dmuseum.com). Opened in July 2008, this 130,000-square-foot complex consists of three buildings and houses the museum, company archives, restaurant and cafe, retail store and special event space (both indoor and outdoor for groups of all sizes). Exhibits include the famous “Serial Number One,” the oldest bike in the Harley-Davidson collection; the Engine Room, where you can discover where that “potato, potato” sound comes; and the Experience Gallery, where you are invited to climb on top of several different models of bikes as you watch scenery roll by on a big screen.
  
  
• Tap into the world’s largest music festival, Summerfest (www.summerfest.com). Rocking Milwaukee’s lakefront for over four decades, this 11-day extravaganza offers continuous music from noon to midnight on 10 ground stages and the 23,000-seat Marcus Amphitheater. Its diverse musical lineup of regional and national entertainment includes everything from classic rock and cool jazz to world music and country. Each year, nearly 1 million festival goers head over to the 75-acre Henry W. Maier Festival Park for sun, fun, music, shopping in the four marketplaces and food from more than 45 area restaurants.
  
  
• Venture into the world of espionage and intrigue at the Safe House (www.safe-house.com). This world-renowned restaurant doubles as one of the city’s most memorable nightclubs, complete with dancing, secret tunnels and hidden surprises. One of Milwaukee’s best-kept secrets, this spy-themed restaurant and nightspot has been catering to hungry agents since 1966. Over 3 million operatives have made their way through the doors of this covert destination, located behind International Exports Ltd. on Front Street right next to the Milwaukee River. The Safe House is a one-of-a-kind, top-secret spy haven that must be experienced!
