About this activity

Enjoy a day out in nature at Milwaukee's Lynden Sculpture Garden!

Here the whole family can enjoy a unique experience filled with art and surrounded by nature through their collection of over 50 monumental sculptures across 40 beautiful acres of park, lake and woodland.

Formerly known as the Bradley Sculpture Garden, Lynden Sculpture Garden was once the estate of the late Harry Lynde Bradley who was an inventor and industrialist, and Margaret (Peg) Blakney Bradley. (Harry actually founded the Allen-Bradley Company along with his brother Lynde in 1904, and turned it into one of Wisconsin's most successful manufacturing companies!)

Today, Lynden Sculpture Garden really is a wonderful day out where parents and kids alike to enjoy the collection. Stop and grab one of the traditional maps and artist-designed adventures which are always available for those self-guided tours, plus you can also find family-oriented guides and plein air painting boxes!

Keep an eye out for the various exhibitions too, as these rotate across the year so you can go back and see something new time and time again!

They also have great experiences for the little ones too, including Summer Camps and programs designed JUST for children!
