chudnow museum of yesteryear

My boyfriend and I had a nice time at the museum. We took the guided tour which was no extra charge. I would recommend taking the guide, as it was nice to walk around to walk around with someone who is familiar with the displays. I especially enjoyed the toy section. Our guide was passionate, and we enjoyed him!**TIP**For those of you who don't want to take the guide. There are white buttons on the wall of each room, which when pressed will give you a short audio about the room or time period. When in the movie theater the white button can be pressed multiple times giving you several different short movies to watch.The vanilla caramels in the give shop are very good! Not too sweet and does not have an over powering caramel flavor. For 10 cents each you can grab a handful!

Unexpected fantastic find- we were looking for something to do after finding the Art Museum is under renovation- we had an absolute blast after reading the reviews on TripAdvisor. Touring with a tour guide is an absolute must- we learned so much and my 7 year old was enthralled and filled with many questions! My 13 and 11 year old daughters had so much fun and commented how passionate the tour guide was as he shared his great facts with us and took a lot of time to show us all the details in each room. Even my senior mom, a native Milwaukeean, was delighted she accompanied us! Thank you for a fabulous morning and exciting new museum to us to visit!!!! We will be back!!!!

We are pleased to read that you and your family enjoyed the visit. Some visitors like to go through at their own pace and we do try to make sure the get questions answered or find features like the hidden speakeasy. Thank you for taking the time to write a review!

Thank you for the visit! Rest assured, most of the collection is much older than a baby boomer but many of the company products on display are still in existence today. We enjoy sharing the history with any and all visitors.

Thank you for renting out the museum for your event and sharing your experience on TripAdvisor! Museums can be fun places too.

Thank you for exploring the museum with us. We change at least one exhibit every two months and several large ones per year. We are pleased you enjoyed the tour and thank you for writing a review!

We appreciate your visit and TripAdvisor review! All our guides enjoy sharing their knowledge and interest with visitors such as yourself. The guided tour is no extra charge. As you picked up, what do share some of the less widespread history of Milwaukee.

We greatly appreciate your dad and entire family's help in constructing the garage exhibit! Thank you for making us a part of your Milwaukee Day. We look forward to working some more with your father this summer on the vintage 1930 Chevy's.

Thank you for the compliment! We enjoy sharing with visitors like you.

Thank you for making us part of your family's holiday in Milwaukee! We always try to offer the guided tours and answer any questions you may have. As you wrote, it is more than just Milwaukee that we present. We appreciate the review.

Thank you for writing a review! We are pleased you share the same interest in artifacts as our founder. All visitors are free to go at their own pace whether it is one hour or several hours, either a guided tour or self-guided.We hope to see you back again as we do change exhibits and artifacts out to show more of the collection. Or check out our website as we update the online catalog. Thank you again.

Thank you for visiting us with your friends! Hope you were able to ring them up on the vintage phones in the museum! We are near downtown and the Marquette campus, but can still be a little hard to find with the interstate and one way streets. There is off-street parking behind the building when you arrive.

Glad you could visit us when in town from Oshkosh. We have about 18 exhibits at a given time and even change those around or update them every couple of months. Thanks for reviewing us on TripAdvisor!

We appreciate you visiting us! We feel on the guided tours more stories about the items on display can be shared. You can also go through on your own if you prefer.

Thank you for visiting us and taking the time to write a review! As the house is 145 years old we can't be completely handicap accessible but have widened doorways, installed an elevator and more.
