Tours That Tie in with Scout Badges

InstaMKE Photo Walk

Regular price: $30 per person; Scout price: $10 per person

Explore the city through a new lens on this photographer-led tour! Engaging historic commentary will be accompanied by pro photo tips to help your troop be confident in their abilities. One of the many highlights of the tour is Wisconsin Avenue, which boasts a stunning then-and-now view of Downtown Milwaukee, and the largest display of sculptures in the world known as SculptureMKE. This tour concludes at the Milwaukee lakefront, with the dramatic backdrop of the architecturally innovative Milwaukee Art Museum, its accompanying scenic gardens, and the I-can’t-believe-it’s-not-an-ocean view of Lake Michigan.

Please note – cameras are not provided; you are encouraged to use cell phones or bring cameras for the tour.

Hop On Hop Off Sightseeing Bus

This bus tour shows the key neighborhoods of downtown Milwaukee as your tour guide narrates about the history of our city.
