Family-friendly fun to be had in Milwaukee despite frigid temperatures



MILWAUKEE -- Looking to get out of the house -- but not sure what to do since it's cold? You should pick up a copy of "Exploring Milwaukee with Kids." It's written by Calie Herbst, founder of Miltown Moms, who was smart enough to organize it by season. She joins Real Milwaukee to quiz us on some fun things to do during the winter in Wisconsin.

About Miltown Moms (website)


In 2013, Calie Herbst, a former Spanish teacher with three little ones, was frustrated with how much time she spent poring over (way too many) websites to find ways to make the most of her time with her family. So she founded MiltownMoms.com. Her goal was to find the best this city has to offer families and share it with other moms. In one place.


Today, Calie and her team connect active moms and caregivers to the city’s best kid-friendly businesses, activities and events every day via:





  • A comprehensive database of family-friendly spots




  • A daily calendar of events organized by region




  • A weekly eNewsletter




  • Popular summer camp and birthday guides




  • Partnerships with nearly 100 local businesses and organizations that share our passion for making Milwaukee a great (and fun) place to raise a family
