Saturday and Sunday, from approximately 11-5 is Doors Open Milwaukee. This year is the inaugural year of an event that has been successfully held in other cities across the country for many years. Doors Open Milwaukee will open 100 downtown sites for you to explore on your own.
"It's like getting a free backstage pass to areas you seldom see - from U.S. Bank's 41st floor observation deck to Bradley Center locker rooms, from behind the curtains at the Pabst Theater to an up-close look at the Jones Island Water Reclamation Facility to see how Milorganite is made."
All the tours and buildings are free and open to everyone, however there are some tours that require tickets (such as a tour of the clock tower at City Hall, or the Grain Exchange Building). The tickets are also free and can be picked up at City Hall.
