Things To Do in Milwaukee & Milwaukee Mitchell Airport Layover Ideas

The Mitchell Gallery of Flight Museum is a non-profit aviation museum located inside Milwaukee's General Mitchell International Airport. The organization plans and directs a program of both permanent and periodically changing displays, which provides a wide variety of information, education and entertainment for airport visitors and passengers. The totally volunteer organization has built and maintains its own aviation museum.The museum is located on the concession level of MKE Airport, near the C concourse.

If you are an avid planespotter or just an aviation geek, rent a car and watch the planes at MKE Airport. There is an observation lot along the northern edge of the airport that is open to the public, and tower communications are rebroadcast using a low-power FM transmitter for visitors to tune in on their car radios. A Wisconsin historical marker documenting the airport's history is also located there.
