Milwaukee Audio Tour: Tracks, Treasures & Tales of Downtown
A lion once prowled Milwaukee’s downtown—the city’s first escaped zoo animal, stirring panic just streets away from where legends now roar at the UW–Milwaukee Panther Arena. This self-guided audio tour takes you deep into the city’s living stories, guiding you from historic exhibits at the Milwaukee Public Museum to the glimmering halls of the Baird Center and beyond. Uncover the drama and quirks most visitors stroll past without noticing. What political uprising nearly tore the city apart beneath these arena seats? Whose whispered secrets linger in the museum’s shadowy corners after hours? And what scandalous culinary invention surprised the city council at the Baird Center? Move through Milwaukee’s heart as its hidden history pulses underfoot. Trace rebellion, scandal, and surprise in the city’s rhythm—seeing every familiar corner with fresh eyes and new questions. Begin now and hunt the lion in Milwaukee’s story—adventure waits where the past is never quite at rest.
