Milwaukee County Resident Discounts
Most of the publicly funded attractions in Milwaukee offer free or discounted admission to County residents on certain days of the week. We have compiled the following list of Milwaukee County Resident Discounts, as well as discounts for non-residents!
The Gardens, located within Whitnall Park in Hales Corners offer Milwaukee County residents ages 60 and older a $1 discount off the $5 admission.
Milwaukee County Golf Course Discount Card
The Milwaukee County Golf Course Discount Card can be purchased by Milwaukee County residents for $22. Cardholders can save up to 50% each time the card is used at any Tournament through Executive course. Non-residents can purchase a card too, but at a higher price.
County residents save $1.75 off admission at the Zoo every day. On Wednesdays during the summer, the discount is $5.25 for adults and $4.75 for children ages 3 to 12. The price of admission during the off-season is less, so the discount is less too. See the Zoo’s website for complete information.
Milwaukee County residents get in to the Museum for free on Mondays.
Mitchell Park Conservatory (The Domes)
The Domes are free for Milwaukee County residents between 9:00 a.m. and Noon on Mondays (excluding major holidays and celebrations of major holidays). County residents ages 60 and older save $1.50 off admission every day.
Non-Resident Discounts
The following Milwaukee attractions offer free admission for everyone – not just County residents!
U.S. Bank and Fox 6 sponsor Neighborhood Night at the Betty Brinn Children’s Museum the third Thursday of every month. Between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. admission is free and there are usually special activities and events.
The first Thursday of each month is free to all visitors of the Milwaukee Art Museum courtesy of Target.
During the off-season, the Milwaukee County Zoo offers Family Free Days. The free days are typically on the first Saturday of the month from November through April. Admission is free, however parking fees still apply.
Milwaukee Area Mother’s Day Freebies
If you’re looking for ideas for Mother’s Day, there are several options around Milwaukee where you can spend quality time with mom and not have to spend any money.
Betty Brinn Children’s Museum
Although it isn’t being promoted, Betty Brinn Children’s Museum is offering free admission to moms again this Sunday. The Museum is open from noon until 5:00 p.m. Admission for everyone else in your party is $6 ($5 for seniors, and free for kids ages one and younger). The Betty Brinn Children’s Museum isn’t promoting this on their website or Facebook page, however we contacted them and they confirmed that moms are indeed free on Mother’s Day.
Milwaukee County Parks Golf Courses
Purchase one round of golf and a single rider cart after 1:00 p.m. on Mother’s Day, and mom golfs and rides for free. This offer is available at Brown Deer, Dretzka, Oakwood, Whitnall, Currie, Grant, Greenfield, and Lincoln golf courses. More information is available on the Milwaukee County Parks Facebook page
Milwaukee County Zoo
As we wrote about earlier in the week, moms get free admission to the Zoo on Sunday. The Zoo is open from 9:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on Mother’s Day.
Old World Wisconsin
Admission to Old World Wisconsin is free for moms on Mother’s Day. Although their website doesn’t mention this promotion, it is mentioned on the Wisconsin Historic Sites and Museums Facebook page. Old World Wisconsin is open from noon until 5:00 p.m. on Mother’s Day.

Free Round of Golf at Milwaukee County Parks Golf Courses
Milwaukee County Parks is offering a free round of golf at any of their Tournament, Championship or Regulation courses just for signing up for their email list. Included is Brown Deer Golf Course, which has greens fees as high as $88.50! Once you are on their list, you’ll receive periodic notification of golf specials.
Believe it or not, several Milwaukee County Parks golf courses are already open for the season. This is pretty amazing considering we had snow on the ground less than a week ago!
After filling out the form on the County Parks Golf website, you’ll be mailed a voucher for a free round of 9 or 18 holes at Brown Deer, Dretzka, Oakwood, Whitnall, Currie, Grant, Greenfield, or Lincoln Park golf courses. A golf cart rental is required to get the free round of golf, and there are restrictions on when the vouchers can be used. Check out the Milwaukee County Parks golf website for full information.
