Milwaukee Attractions

Miller Park © Greater Milwaukee Convention & Visitors Bureau

Miller Park

Miller Park is the home of major league baseball's Milwaukee Brewers. Opened in 2001, the ballpark combines state-of-the-art features, including a unique fan-shaped convertible roof, with the 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' nostalgia of America's pastime. Ballpark tours are available, but if visitors are able to get tickets, there is perhaps no better way to experience the best of America than by watching a ballgame on a summer evening.
