Milwaukee for a 3 day weekend 8/8-8/11
Food and fun places on the waterfront
Beaches to swim/walk
Is the ferry to Muskegon worth the time
Third Ward recommendations for lunch or dinner-
What is Walkers Point like?
Thanks!

Santiago Calatrava - Milwaukee Art Museum - mam.org/info/details/calatrava.php This is a must and hopefully you will see them open and close the wings.
The Harley Museum and of course the Lakefront Brewery tour.
The old Third Ward is a fun place to just walk around and visit the shops and restaraunts -- visit the Milwaukee Public MARKET.
Milwaukee River Walk
Places to eat:
Lake Park Bistro - might be a little pricey
Mader's Restaurant
Milwaukee Chop House
Edelweiss Boats - Milwaukee River Cruise Line
Bacchus, A Bartolotta Restaurant
Elsa's on the Park
Botanas Mexican food
Milwaukee Ale House
Mo's Irish Pub
and the list goes on -- you will not be disappointed in Milwaukee -- it has lots of great restaraunts.
The water front -- Bradford beach is near by -- the water my might be a little bit cool
The ferry ride I would only take if you plan on going over to Michigan or getting from Michigan to Milwaukee - it is a great way of avoiding the Chicago traffic.
Check the festival schedule -- Milwaukee has some of the best festivals in the world - and they are constantly changing from week to week - and the music is top notch -- located at the Summerfest grounds - Downtown.
Enjoy

The Botanical Garden is beautiful but it is not on the waterfront. Maybe if it rains but I am thinking that you are going to have a beautiful weekend weatherwise.
I agree on the ferry ride. It takes about 3 hours each way. If I remember correctly, the schedule does not allow for you to go there and come back immediately.
