HD Museum
I will be in Milwaukee on Sunday and want to visit the HD museum. For those who have gone, how much time should we plan on for this stop (in general).
Thanks in advance!

It depends on your interest in old iron and H-D company history. If you have a passing interest it can be gone through in 1 1/2 - 2 hours, I can spend a few hours reading displayed factory documents, viewing one of a kind materials and taking photos.

I haven't been there in 10 years. You would have to walk really slow to be there longer than 3-4 hours.
take somebody else's car and carry a gun
sometime crime is down during game. But if they are losing, they lose interest. Old rule of thumb was get out before 1, when they are drunk. But they have become more ambitious. Car jacking in the mornings now. That woman was car jacked and raped early in day.

If you are really into the HD history a few hours then include a meal food is good..
Walk through hour.
The area at the museum is safe. But going a few streets either direction at night is on you. There will be no LEO protection.
Shooting in Milwaukee up over 40% again.

Jesus. Who let Rounders out? Didn't we make a home for you in another thread? Get back in your hole. Git. That's the place for this garbage.
Anyway, I've always wanted to take a trip up there. Looks like there is a lot of history there. I can see it being easy to get lost for half a day at least.

Visited a few years ago, really good experience and history. I think a half day in the museum is plenty, then some additional time for shopping and getting something to eat.
Unless something has changed plenty of bike parking out front.

We were there last year. Pretty good museum, as those things go. Enjoyed it quite a bit.
I'd say two hours is enough to get you through it, and maybe four or five if you get really into a few of the exhibits and want to study them in detail. It's really up to you and your tastes.
We got there when they opened at 10:00am. Ended up at the restaurant (which I'd describe as "better than I expected to the point of actually being good") across the pavilion around 2:00 for a late lunch. Worked out as a pretty good day.
Then my wife found the very large and well stocked gift shop, and we were there for another hour!
