i dont know that a 3 and 6 yr old would enjoy it much. there is a TON of stuff from the archives there,and some cool old military vids. the board trackers are also really neat.

It isn't discovery world but they do have an interactive section that is meant for younger kids. One that was fun to try is a demonstration that the child turns the crank and the piston moves up and down. It lights up with LEDs showing it pulling in air and expelling exhaust. Downstairs you can design your own bike and sit on a few that they have set up.

It ain't worth the admission price, thats for sure.

I would disagree with that. It is a great collection that shows the history of one of the longest running companies in Milwaukee. Their displays are well designed and the architecture of the building fits with their image.

X2. You can walk through the entire place in 30 minutes and see half of the same bikes in the parking lot. Don't expect to get in without forking over way more cash then expected!

Sixteen buck a head, correct? I understand it wasn't cheap to build. I also understand it wasn't cheap to buy MV Agusta either.* It's ok, they will pull through, all the lay-offs have offset these expenses. But the reason they laid the people off was tanking sales...






*HD will murder MV's quality and performance within ten years, but not before slapping the bar and shield on one or two MV's and calling them "Milwaukee Iron" and claiming to be on par in the sport bike market

16 bucks a head is correct: http://www.harley-davidson.com/wcm/Content/Pages/HD_Museum/buy_tickets.jsp?locale=en_US

Wow, for 250 bucks you can buy a 3" Rivit with your name on it, or if you don't want to be cheap you can get a 6" rivit for only 1500 bucks. LO ******* L
