Came here on a week day and it was not busy at all. Getting tickets was quick and easy. When we first came out of the elevator, the guy was very helpful and even let us know there was a kid spot where the could dress up. I enjoyed my time in there , but I wish there was a little more clear signs pointing to the exit . I went in a circle or two but eventually found it .

So much better than expected. Two dads met up with their 9 year old girls and they had a blast. STEAM Day helped but it's set up so well that I'm sure they would have had fun without it. Nice place, easy parking when it's all not busy. Great food on campus. Can't wait to return. Maybe solo to really digest all the info

🏍️ Harley‑Davidson Museum — My Experience Walking into the Harley‑Davidson Museum felt a bit like stepping into a living story — part American history, part engineering marvel, part pure emotion. I didn’t expect a motorcycle museum to feel this immersive, but the place has a way of pulling you in before you even realize it. The campus itself is striking: industrial lines, open space, and that unmistakable Harley energy humming in the background. Inside, the exhibits unfold like chapters — from the very first Harley with its raw, almost humble beginnings, to the sleek machines that shaped generations of riders and dreamers. Each bike carries a story, and together they form a timeline of innovation, rebellion, and craftsmanship. What surprised me most was how human the experience felt. It wasn’t just about engines and chrome; it was about culture, identity, and the people who built, rode, and believed in these machines. The audio stories, the archival sketches, the racing legends — everything made the brand feel alive. There was a moment, standing in front of “Serial Number One,” where I caught myself smiling. Something about seeing the origin of an icon — simple, imperfect, but full of intention — reminded me how powerful it is to start with an idea and build it into something that moves people. After wandering through the exhibits, I ended the visit with a slow meal at the museum restaurant — comfort food, warm atmosphere, and that satisfying feeling of having taken in something meaningful. It’s the kind of place that leaves you both energized and grounded. If I had to sum it up: It’s not just a museum. It’s a reminder of how passion becomes legacy — one ride, one risk, one bold idea at a time. ---

It was a nice exhibit but it wasn't big enough for what it represents. I felt a bit underwhelming since I wanted more. The three stars are only because it was much shorter than what I was expecting but the exhibit was still very cool. The highlight for me was the part at the end where they allow to sit on some of their bikes. There was tons of parking and it was free which was amazing.

⭐️ A Legendary Ride Through Harley-Davidson History – A Must-Visit Iconic Museum! 🏍️🔥 I had an amazing time visiting the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee — an absolute dream for anyone who loves motorcycles, history, design, or true American culture. The entire complex is huge, beautifully designed, and perfectly placed right by the river, which adds a really cool vibe as you walk around the grounds. Even before stepping inside, you’re greeted by impressive outdoor sculptures and classic Harley details that immediately set the tone. Once inside, the experience only gets better. The museum showcases motorcycles from every era — from early 1900s originals to modern designs — each one displayed with great storytelling and historical context. You can easily spend hours walking through the exhibits, exploring legendary models, rare prototypes, and beautifully preserved engines. Everything is clean, well-organized, and very accessible. One of the highlights for me was the gift shop. It’s packed with awesome merchandise, collectibles, apparel, patches, and unique items that you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you’re a hardcore rider or just a traveler looking for a cool souvenir, you’ll find something worth taking home. The museum requires a ticket, but honestly, it’s worth every dollar for the quality of the experience. There are great photo spots, indoor and outdoor areas to explore, and even a restaurant on-site if you want to relax afterward. Overall, this place is a perfect stop for travelers, motorcycle fans, photographers, and anyone who loves American heritage. Highly recommended! 🛠️🏍️🇺🇸

A great museum showing the motors from Harley-Davison model 1, which is made in year 1903; also it shows special motors built for police, WWII armies, US mail, etc. the most exciting part is to ride on the newest models in the museum, also the hottest models. They are so cool. It is great to visit it with the children, they love watching a lot of motors and ride on the motors, they are so happy. The location is great, it is very near the Discovery Museum and Art museum, together can play for a whole day and have the great dinner and lunch next to the museum. The gift shop is also good to visit, there are 30%-60% off items, which is very good quality and reasonable price.

A Must-See in Milwaukee! The Harley-Davidson Museum is an absolute must-do when visiting Milwaukee. It beautifully tells the story of how Harley-Davidson began in 1903 in a small shed and grew into one of the most iconic motorcycle brands in the world. The exhibits showcase historic bikes, racing legends, and design milestones in a modern, engaging way. Right next door you’ll find a large shop — mostly apparel — and a great restaurant on the beautifully designed museum grounds. A perfect stop for anyone interested in innovation, craftsmanship, and American heritage.

The Harley-Davidson Museum offers a well-designed and immersive look into the brand’s history, engineering, and cultural impact. The exhibits are thoughtfully organized, with clear storytelling and impressive displays of classic and modern motorcycles. The space is spacious, informative, and engaging even for visitors who are not motorcycle enthusiasts. A must-visit landmark in Milwaukee.

I really love what they did with the Harley campus. There's plenty of room to park which is rare when you're downtown. The museum is one of many buildings and they have collected so much over the years including rare older bikes used for mail delivery and in the armed forces which was really cool to see. On Thursdays during the summer they also host bike nights with live music, food and drink outdoors and a chance to see some cool bikes. I've also been a few times for private events upstairs and the catering has been absolutely delicious, including charcuterie boards and the like. The staff have been warm and welcoming, too. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area and even a little bit curious about the history of Harley.

I'm so glad we decided to stop by this museum! It was such a fun and engaging experience, with the perfect mix of history and interactive exhibits. I took way more photos than I can possibly share because everything was that fascinating--and I'm not even a Harley owner. I especially enjoyed learning about the connections to law enforcement and the role of women in the history, which made the visit even more meaningful. Afterward, we checked out the restaurant and bar across the way, and it was just as impressive. I don't drink, but their non-alcoholic beer was honestly the best I've ever had. This is a must-visit whether you're a Harley fan or just someone who appreciates history presented in a fun, memorable way.

I've had the pleasure of dining at Halle Davidson's restaurant over the years, I've been extremely disappointed twice in a row with the staffing level. This translated into exceptional, low level of service. The first time I got there the restaurant had maybe 10 tables seated. I was told it'd be a 25 minute wait because they only had two waitresses on the floor on a Friday afternoon. So I decided to sit at the bar and was served by a friendly bartender however, the food took over 20 minutes to come out. Flash forward three weeks later again on a Friday and I went right to the bar to sit down and order. I was told I fried fish plate with you about 25 minutes to come out. I can only explain this as poor staffing in the kitchen. Will Harley Davison corporate has issues with production and marketing right now, somebody a corporate needs to focus on the dining experience that many people partake in when they come to visit the Harley-Davidson Museum Milwaukee and thrift shops. This is just my humble opinion

I loved this museum! Every type of Harley Davidson is displayed and brought back many good memories. There are some motorcycles that you are allowed to sit on for picture taking. Don't pass this up. If you are visiting and riding a Harley, there is special front designated parking. That is also interesting to look at, meaning what bikes riders rode to the museum.

There was a lot of free parking in front. Admission was $21 to view hundreds of motorcycle styles through the decades. Here we saw Elvis and Evel Knievels Harley's. The Experience Gallery on the bottom floor allowed us to take badass photos, and enjoy interactive exhibits. There was a huge gift shop & restaurant on the premises.

Whether you're a die hard Harley rider or a museum enthusiast, the HD museum has something for everyone. Stocked full of bikes, incredible displays, mind-blowing facts and full blown American ingenuity. There's something for everyone here. I'm a Harley owner and rose 610 miles to visit. Well worth the ride.

The gift shop and the event spaces are pretty good, the former for Milwaukee souvenir gifts the latter for medium to larger special events. I'd like to review the museum itself which is hardly just for motorcycle enthusiasts. This is an excellent history museum, which teaches us about Industrialization. A visit to the museum might be better prepared for you if you first watch "The Making of Milwaukee," a John Gurda - PBS documentary that is really interesting. https://www.milwaukeepbs.org/the-making-of-milwaukee/ If you don't have time for that, Alice Cooper summarizes it pretty succinctly in his cameo on "Wayne's World." The history of the HD motorcycle is also the history of American transition from a sparsely populated agricultural backwater to industrial manufacturing domination enabling the USA to be really the only nation to emerge from WWII with a sustained growth economy. Still, if you love motorcycles, you might get more out of the museum than a fan of history. If you can, visit this museum one day, then shortly thereafter visit the MSOE Ghromann museum of work.

The Blackula. There are so much history about Harley at this museum. They have a place to eat and a special banquet Hall. HOGs are Harley Owner Group/Gang This museum is a must-go tourist destination. I had a grand old time. Nice bikes, nice gift shop, and you also have an outlet onsite.

I was a good time we're coming to the Harley Davidson Museum restaurant and bar. I love the atmosphere, all the servers are nice and friendly. This is the best salad there is at least I think so. The portion is a good size and the salad is always fresh which I appreciate that's my go to pretty much every single time. Simply delicious and refreshing

For an non Harley person this museum is very interesting for the motorcycle enthusiasts. Great place to take out of town guests no matter what especially if they're from another country. Give yourself 2-3 hours. This is a self guided tour and an audio tour guide is available. Just wished that they had one night of extended hours If you can get the "Harley Davidson Museum pass" from your public library the entry fee (admission) is then waived for up to 2 adults and 4-5 children

The display at this museum is amazing on its own. A little on the pricy side, but still a decent value. We are not Harley Davidson people, but it was interesting to learn the racing history of the bike. Make sure you check out the archives!

Harley Davidson is a brand that is iconic in Milwaukee; so we had to tour the museum when we were visiting from South Florida. My husband is a HOG member; so his admission was free. (He also received some nice souvenir HD pins.). My entrance was $24; and purchasing tickets at the time of arrival was a breeze! The museum is very clean and spacious. Of course the motorcycles are what everyone comes to see, and they had just about every variety ever made from the early 1900's to the present day on display. Each one was labeled and the details were printed out on signs in front. So many styles and colors....its a bit overwhelming! There are also dozens of rooms and hallways that explain how Harley Davidson got its start and showcase all kinds of HD and general motorcycle memorabilia. I especially enjoyed the wall of gas tanks because the colors were beautiful and it was fun to look at all the incredible artwork and how it changed over 100 years! It took us about 2 hours to tour the entire museum, (2 floors,) and we definitely did not get a chance to read everything about HD in there that there was. They also have a regular gift shop and an outlet shop where you can buy everything like basics shirts and boots to blankets, gloves, glasses, and Christmas ornaments. I would recommend the Harley Davidson Museum to all motorcycle enthusiasts and others who just wasn't to learn about Harley's amazing history.

Not a Harley fan but this museum is still pretty cool! You get to see the evolution of their motorcycles through the ages. You'll be surrounded by real enthusiasts and bikers. You'll get to sit on some of their newer models and I can see why people love them. You'll feel like a total badass!

There is a lot of great history at this museum. Displays are excellent. I recommend getting to the museum in the morning so one can get the best parking spots. The only item I would change is the gas tanks display needs to have better lighting. This is a great place to visit nevertheless!

For motorcycle enthusiasts this is a 10/10, but even for casual fans this museum is so well Done and interesting I would say it's among the top 5 things to do in Milwaukee! The long history and sheer diversity of Harley motorcycles will easily hold your attention for 2 hours. It's well worth the price of admission and if the weather is less than ideal, you can spend a whole afternoon here. The history of Harley traces its roots through world war 1 and 2, so you can see the role the company played in major world Events! The bathrooms and cafe are all clean and well kept, and there are places to sit outside too. Every week there are special events too, so you may see some stunts if you are lucky.

The museum is very cool if you like Harley's or motorcycle history in general it is a great visit. The bar and restaurant leave a little to be desired they know they have a captive audience so the service sucks because there isn't any competition I highly recommend the museum and then going somewhere else for lunch or drinks

This museum is mesmerizing. I really enjoyed the interesting history of this great company. I learned so much in the few hours I was there. I saw so many motorcycles through their 120 years. Some were from the very beginning and they do have one from every year of their existence. I loved the setup. Even though there were many visitors there was ample room to move around. The only thing negative I can say is there are few employees. I had a couple questions and some visitors gave me the answers. I think they should have more employees on duty. They also have a restaurant and two gift shops on property. One of the gift shops we did not visit because the kine was probably half a mile long. This was a big celebration weekend for them so that is why.

While visiting in Milwaukee we stopped by The Harley-Davdson Museum. It was another highlight of our trip. A true historic gem in Milwaukee. In honesty this wasn't one of the places on my list to visit. But I'm so grateful for the visit. There is beyond so much to see in this place. I was in awe of the history behind the name. Legendary. There are so many beautiful different styles of motorcycle to see in this place. They even have a kiddie room for the little one's to dress up in their biker gear. I'm so happy that I came here to witness this wonderful place. They even have a restaurant on the lower level as well as a gift shop. The extra fun part was at the end of the tour was being able to hop on one of the bikes to take a pic.

This place is the "Mecca" for Harley Davidson motorcycle enthusiasts. Situated on a 20 acre campus like park, It boasts a two story structure with exhibits of Harley Davidson motorcycles memorabilia. There's also a separate gift shop, the H-D Factory Outlet, and a separate restaurant, the Motor Bar & Restaurant. We arrived on our motorcycles on Thursday, 07.13.2023, the first day of the 120th HARLEY-DAVIDSON HOMECOMING FESTIVAL where we encountered thousands of other HD owners wishing to visit this iconic site. First and foremost, I'd highly recommend one purchase tickets online before going. We had done that, thankfully, because the line to purchase tickets was probably at least a hundred deep. We avoided the long wait by showing our e-tickets and was able to proceed directly to the exhibits. The exhibition was very informative and interesting. The bikes displayed were from the earliest creation of the HD motorcycle to present day. Some interesting bikes, dates and events were: * 1907 HD incorporated and sold its first stock to its employees and board members. Its bike cost $210 and it could travel over 500 miles on a tank of oil. * 1925 HD marked a major turning point with the new low frame JCDB F-Head, V-Twin which came to now be known as the "classic Harley Davidson" * In 1936 a Legend was Born with the "EL" - a bike that was designed for unparalleled performance and efficiency. Fast Forward to March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck the northeast coast of the Tohoku region of Japan's Honshu island, causing a tsunami with a maximum wave height of almost 40 meters (130 feet) in the Iwate Prefecture. It swept a HD motorcycle from Yamamoto Miyagi Prefecture. - Japan all the way to beaches of Graham Island, British Columbia Canada - a distance of over 4,000 miles! It left Japan March 11, 2011 and was discovered in Canada April 18, 2012. I could go on and on, but I know not everyone is as enthusiastic about HD as I am. So if you're still with me reading this, I sincerely appreciate your time. The important thing is that this is truly a great place to visit and if you get the opportunity, it's one of the places in Milwaukee that you don't want to miss!

I want to start out that I am no gear head, but I love the older items of the past. Frankly not knowing much about Harley-Davidson history. I was a clean slate and they did not disappoint. That 1st Motorcycle was amazing. Also being a fan of older films from the 1930s and 40s I saw a lot of motorcycles that was apart of those films. I never knew they made a golf cart Already planning my return

The Bloody Mary at the restaurant was the worst I have had in my life, tasted like just tomato juice. Had to ask the sever for Tabasco just to give it some flavor. They should be embarrassed to serve that. The brisket sandwich was very good though. 7/14/2025

Finally made the visit and enjoyed every minute of it. Even got a little tour behind the cages of the archives (this was our favorite part). The restaurant was really good and the bikes on display were amazing. I was a little disappointed with the gift shop, I thought there would be a lot more items to purchase but that didn't ruin the trip. Will definitely try to make it back again.

Found ourselves in Milwaukee on a nice Sunday. Stopped in to see this great museum. Confession: I am a Harley rider, but had no idea the whole enterprise started in Milwaukee. So - really enjoyed all of the displays. Super rare and one-off bikes. Great multi-floor layout. Seemingly ample parking. Discount merchandise store and latest merchandise store across from each other. Didn't try the restaurant/ bar this round, but maybe next time. Looked good. Check it out. Highly recommended for something interesting to do.

Great displays and history of the company. So much to look at, you won't be able to read it all. They have done a nice job creating this space to celebrate an American motorcycle company. If you are a motorcycle enthusiast, it is a must see. It will leave you wanting more motorcycles.

Review is from 2019. Was in Milwaukee for a business trip and had some time to burn. My co-workers decided to check this place out since Milwaukee is kinda limited in terms of touristy stuff during the winter. First of all none of us were motorcycle fans but we all loved this museum. Plenty of history and modern tech on display. I really like the interactive section of the museum where it explained some of the early engine technology. Also loved the section where you could sit on some bikes and take pictures. They have a pretty cool gift shop too. I picked up some souvenir poker chips with the museum logo on it. They have a special discounted price for students too. Overall: great museum to check out whether or not you are a motorcycle enthusiast.

Despite the increasing cost of emission to this place, it's quite a museum to check out. Whether you like motorcycles or not, the exhibits and history of this motorcycle manufacturer are interesting and a large part of American history and culture. I found the Hollywood section most attractive with galleries of bikes from various classic American films such as T2 and Easy Rider. You can get a tour if you want but I found it more enjoyable walking around and exploring myself. The models and galleries contain ton information and background behind the makings of the bikes which provide a nice history lesson. Not to mention there's a gift shop and restaurant attached, both worth exploring just for the merchandise and atmosphere themselves. Definitely a cool place to check out when you're in Milwaukee. Vroom Vroom!

Awesome place to visit! I loved spending a couple of hours at the HDM walking around to find out more about the history of HD. I added the audio tour to get some extra HD history. Wouldn't mind coming back someday. There is also a HD store and restaurant. A perfect spot to spent half a day in Milwaukee.

Family vacation 2021...bringing the California variant of COVID-19 to your city. It was blasphemy. I visited Milwaukee without going inside the Harley Davidson Museum. I was there, but, I went with my wife and daughter who could care less about Harleys. I didn't want to pay the $60+ for the three of us to go in for a speed tour of 60 minutes or less of the museum. I almost wanted to make them sit in the hot car with the AC on while I visited the museum, but, I decided not to. So we compromised. We went to their gift shop instead. The gift shop is located outside of the museum itself. But, it gets you close enough. We were able to walk around outside and see 2 motorcycles on display. It was nice how they set up motorcycle parking right in front of the museum. There were lots of Harleys in their parking lot. Most of the owners were friendly and let you take photos of their motorcycles. The gift shop itself was pretty nice. They actually had 2 shops. We went into the real gift shop first, but, were told that we needed to go to their other shop for clearance merchandise. Clearance sale was the magic word for us. They had a lot of merchandise for sale. I was able to pick up some sweet souvenirs. Yeah, it was blasphemy. I drove there in my rental minivan. We didn't enter the museum. But, we did have a fun time walking the campus and at their gift shop. Next time, I'm ditching the wife and child!

Great trip! What a wonderful museum. We're not H-D enthusiasts but had a lot of fun. Our almost 5 year old daughter loved it. A few things for her to do, in addition to the many many photo opps. The collection was displayed so nicely, such a cool modern look. Highly recommend!

Save your money. Nothing special rude employees. Never going back. We heard a employee speaking about the bikes in the area we were looking . It peaked our interest. Although we were just listening we were told to stay away, it was a private tour. Ruined my day. I have lived in Milwaukee for 60 years. Many near the old Harley Plant. I am very disappointed by such treatment. Richard

The Harley-Davidson Museum is truly a special place for any Harley-Davidson or motorcycle enthusiasts. I learned some very interesting facts and was so excited to see the early cycles in person.

I've heard about this museum since I moved here a few years ago. However, I never ventured out. Naturally, I picked a super cold day in Milwaukee. Naturally. But such an amazing space!

It was a cool experience but I'm not gonna lie my husband and I were a little disappointed. We are avid Harley people, so when we get to the gift shop part of the museum we were disappointed that they did not have plus and bigger sizes available. As THE destination for Harley owners all over you would think they would carry the larger sizes too. Otherwise it was an amazing experience being there.

Was in Chicago for the weekend and decided to stop by the Harley Museum (we have a Streetglide and love Harley). This museum is really big and nice to explore. You have the choice to get the audio or DIY tour without audio. I really loved the layout and how they displayed the motorcycles with it's history and different pictures. There is a section where you can hear different engine sounds, you can get on some motorcycles & take great pictures. I believe there may be a couple other interactive things to do as well. There are beautiful displays of old letters, pictures, awards, clothing, etc displayed on the walls. You must check out their awesome motorcycle tank wall. All of the tank designs/colors they've had in the past to current day. There were a few I'd pick out for myself (if I had my own bike) :) Right outside of the museum, there is a gift shop and a bar/restaurant of course all decked out with motorcycle designs - all pretty cool. We didn't have time to sit in the restaurant because we had somewhere else to be but looked inside and it looked really nice and big. I am pretty sure you can get your Harley serviced here too. You must go to the HD Museum!!

I'm fairly disappointed Since I was here 10 years ago things changed not for the better. The oldest bike I was able to see was a 1911, which skip the whole first generation motors that had to be oiled occasionally while riding, and I wanted to get a picture, not happening. Another disappointment is it they have two apparel buildings. It could've been condensed into one and then use the other building to display all the new motorcycles available today. What the hell! If you were interested in a new bike and came to the museum wouldn't it be nice to see all the new bikes on display? Lame marketing. Knowing what I know I would still pay the $22, but save your five dollars on the audio device which just drags on and on.

Really enjoyed our visit. I always wanted to see the place, but we don't get to this side of the world very often. In any case, happened to be in Madison on business and decided to drive over on the Sunday before work. It was well worth the drive. The facilities are well laid out, lots and lots of bikes on display, great overview of the company's history and products, all in all a lot of fun. They have a factory outlet and museum store in the same complex, along with a nice beer and burger joint that makes an excellent hamburger. We couldn't help but grab lunch and a few souvenirs on the way out. If you like motorcycles, it's a pretty amazing place to visit.

Ok I have driven past the museum hundreds of times and I have never stopped so today I stopped by to check it out. Parking is free so they don't gouge you like some tourists traps and they have a restaurant right across from the front door to make a nice short day activity. Next to the restaurant is the gift shop which is nice because it's separate from the museum which is no interest to me. I will admit that it is smaller than I expected but it is still cool to visit. When you walk in serial number 1 is on the right which is the oldest Harley in the world, 1903 but doesn't match the known early Harleys engine or frame for some reason ??. The tsunami bike from Japan is just raw devastation from Mother Nature on display. All kinds of bikes are on display from police, military, custom, racing, street, mail, delivery etc etc. The wall of painted tanks is really cool that leads you to the hall of factory buildings pictures and architectural drawings of the buildings. At the end of the tour is an area of stationary bike of various styles that you can sit on and take pictures or just get a feel of the bikes. Overall it's an easy walk with two floors of displays and not huge so it's as little as 45 minutes to take in or as long as you want to make it. It's a nice example of the history from the factory's to the products and how they were used by people over time.

Great time! Worth a trip. It was a great time. The staff was great. Make sure you stop buy the outlet shop and gift shop after!

This place was pretty cool. It wasn't the best museum we went to on our trip to Milwaukee but it was definitely worth the money. It was cool to see how many different weird kinds of bikes they used to have back in the day. There were a lot of things I wanted from the gift shop but most were just insanely priced but I get it- it's a gift shop. I recommend coming if you live in Milwaukee and have never been or if you're on a trip from farther away like me and my boyfriend were. It takes up a good hour and a half.

My husband loved this museum. It was a nice Museum to explore. I love the part where they let you take photos on the motorcycles.
