Free Fun in Milwaukee. 

All year Long.

I’m Calie Herbst, the Founder of Milwaukee With Kids.

Over the years, I’ve poured my heart into uncovering the best family-friendly activities, hidden gems, and local treasures our city has to offer.

This eBook, MKE For Free, is a natural extension of our mission. It’s a carefully crafted, season-by-season guide to all the free, family-friendly experiences Milwaukee has to offer.

Every listing reflects years of research, firsthand exploration, and community conversations—insights I’ve gathered by talking to families, trying new activities, and discovering the city’s best-kept FREE secrets.

Here's to having fun and saving money!
