About Schlitz Audubon Nature Center

Let's all get out into nature in Milwaukee at the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center! It's a great way to get that wonderful Wisconsin fresh air, and get active as you spend time with the family.

The area was actually once a farm for all the sweet draft horses at the Schlitz Brewery, but now (and luckily for you!) it's 185 acres of unique terrains - from wetlands, ravines, restored priaires, forests, bluffs, and even a bit of shoreline!

It's a great way for the kids to learn about the environment too, because those who work in the park are constantly restoring habitats that are unique to the area, to make sure it can all be enjoyed by families just like you in the years to come!

Schlitz Audubon Nature Center is a great place to visit if you want that break from the city, or you want that bit of adventure! If you love birds, you're in for a treat too, because the center is a designated Important Bird Area - all because of the habitats that a certain waterfowl live on by the lake. Pretty special stuff!

It's a REALLY great place to learn (did we mention that!?) because they offer a whole range of programs - from kids to adults and even summer camps - that give opportunities for development, education, and well - FUN!

Keep an eye out on their calendar too, because there are some great events that you might not want to miss! From Astronomy evenings, to days all about the birds, free walks, and nature hiking - Milwaukee is a great place, and the nature shouldn't be missed!
