The Milwaukee Public Market is a five-minute walk — perfect for post-escape tacos and cocktails. The Milwaukee Art Museum and its jaw-dropping Calatrava wing is a 10-minute stroll along the lakefront. Or just grab a drink at Café Benelux on the rooftop patio overlooking the river. The Third Ward is one of those neighborhoods where you can easily turn an escape room into a whole evening out.
