Top Spots for Families

Donuts

Cranky Al's

A locally famous breakfast spot, Cranky Al’s doughnuts got some big time props when celebrity chef Alton Brown proclaimed them the best he’d had on the road in 2015.

Parks

Hart Park

If your kids are more about wheels than water, check out the new Tosa Skate Park at Hart Park. This skate park welcomes bikers, skateboarders and inline bladers and is designed to offer fun for all skill levels. Younger kids will also love the park’s fun (and educational) playground.

Parks

Hoyt Park

You’ve played inside – now it’s time for some outdoor adventures! Hoyt Park is home to the TOSA Pool and the adjacent The Landing Beer Garden, making it a perfect place for both kids and parents to have some summer fun. The newly renovated TOSA Pool features zero-depth entry, competitive lap lanes, and even a giant slide.

Sports Bars

Leff's Lucky Town

Stop at Leff’s Lucky Town for burgers, or their scrumptious wings, on the wrap-around patio. This popular local sports bar and eatery is a great place to people-watch and try the specialty “burger of the month.”

Attractions

Milwaukee County Zoo

The Milwaukee County Zoo is one of the area’s premier family attractions, and for good reason. More than 2,500 animals representing 330 species, from bonobos to polar bears and big cats to giraffes, are housed on 200 acres of natural habitats at this nationally-recognized zoo. Make sure to check the feeding schedules to be able to watch your favorite beasts dine – you can even feed the giraffes yourself. Kids will also love educational wildlife shows like the Oceans of Fun Seal & Sea Lion Show and taking a ride on the zoo train.
