This Smithsonian-affiliated museum features the nation's most fully restored World War II submarine. It is your opportunity to operate a real steam engine, time-travel back to a 19th-century shipbuilding town, and let the kids sail their own boat in the Children's Waterways room, all at the largest maritime museum on the Great Lakes.

The Wisconsin Maritime Museum is more than an all-ages museum. It's also a rooftop bar (Sub Pub), gift shop, an Airbnb (SubBnB), and a venue space where you can host your next big event.  The Sub Pub runs during the warmer months and has one of the city's most breathtaking views, especially at sunset!

Visit their website or social media to stay informed about upcoming events, deep-dive tours, lighthouse tours, Think & Drinks, and other happenings at the museum.
