It's a new year! This year the Ambassador Hotel turns 91 years old! In honor of "91 Years of Memories" we thought it would be fun to put together a list of "91 Things to do in Milwaukee" in hopes that our guests, friends and followers will make their own memories with family and friends this year!
Milwaukee has so much to offer no matter what your interests are! Milwaukee has everything from professional sports teams, museums, theaters, event venues, art galleries, an award winning park system, historic neighborhoods, excellent shopping and more! The possibilities are endless!
