Outdoors
Love taking walks here while watching ducks and geese sleep by the river. The flower garden is prefect for pictures of any kind, and plenty of cute shops nearby
Frame Park
One of my favorite places to go on a walk. Multiple trails, benches for sitting along the way, a space to eat lunch, and wildlife. The center also has a planetarium close by that’s great for kids.
Retzer Nature Center
Such a great place for walking trails and getting a great view of the Kettle Moraine State forest!

A place everyone in my town knew growing up — popular place for prom pictures. Such a nice spot for swimming and close enough to the big line for long bike rides!
Lannon Quarry
My mom and I love taking a Sunday walk around Mitchell park. It has a small pond for dipping your feet or relaxing in the sand for a bit. Besides that, there plenty of places to walk, golf, birdwatch, take your dog, around Brookfield!

Activities
I had so much fun on a girls day out with a friend. We did a pole class that also included a self defense class. Both instructors were so sweet and helpful. Such a safe space to try something new!

The apple cider hot ham 🔥 the cinnamon sugar mix — I use it ALL the time, especially on bagels. Hundreds of apple trees with a variety of apples to pick in the fall! Families flock to this place every year

As a kid, this was the place I went to always pick the perfect pumpkin! They have expanded so much throughout the years offering many activities for kids. One of the few places to pick delicious strawberries as well!

Amazing flavors and priced well! It’s a cute historical place in the heart of Waukesha. It’s a must have anytime you visit
Divino Gelato Cafe
Located RIGHT on the edge of Waukesha county — one of my favorite places!! Such delicious food. Expect a wait especially on the weekend in the afternoon. But I PROMISE, the wait is worth it!
Joe Mama’s Bar & Grill
It’s a small place that you have to try at least once. A whole pizza, folded in half, then fried. Its delicious! I haven’t gone in a few years but I think about it all the time. Just prepare for all the CHEESE
Jimmy's Grotto
Some of the best food I’ve had. They offer Chinese and Japanese food, sushi and hibachi. My favorite is the chicken fried rice and the chicken Lo Mein. Very friendly staff, and fresh ingredients!
Meiji Cuisine - Waukesha
Great food for a a relaxed date night out. My boyfriend and I split some garlic parm fries — we HAD to go back to get them again!
