Traveling Adventures Field Trips

Milwaukee Recreation will provide enrichment activities, play opportunities, and free meals at playground sites across the city beginning June 23, 2025 (for kids ages 6-17).

All playgrounds are operated as a “free drop-in” program. Though locations are staffed and provide many enriching games and activities for youth, general supervision is only provided for youth who choose to stay on site. The playgrounds program is not a substitute for child care or similar attendance/registration-driven programs.

In addition to the the traditional activities at our summer playgrounds, Milwaukee Recreation staff members will also lead young people on several engaging field trips throughout the summer! See below for a list of field trip opportunities. Speak with your playground leaders for more information.
