From Chicago you can take either 94 or 41 which merge back together around the state line.
We drove up on 41, the downside to this route is that there are several stop lights and a lower speed limit but there are no tolls and it might be a quicker route if the tollway has a lot of traffic.
We drove back on 94 which is a toll road from the state line to Deerfield where it becomes a non toll highway. There were two tolls, the first was 75 cents which you pay near the Wisconsin border and another for 50 cents when you merge onto the non toll portion. 4/2/05 update-Illinois recently doubled the tolls for people not using the I Pass, so I think those tolls are now $1.50 and $1
The speed limit is 65 for a portion of 94 so if traffic is flowing, that is the quicker route. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

In the downtown area, it seemed like you could either park at metered spots or in low cost garages. We didn't see any non metered spots but honestly we didn't look very hard.
We misread the sign, it said on Saturdays until 6 pm there was a 2 hour limit, during the week there was a 2 hour metered limit. So I don't think we needed to feed the meter on Saturday but I think I will get over the $1.50 it cost me. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Get I94 from Chicago and drive north. Or take an airplane to the Milwaukee International Airport. I suppose a trip with a ship is also possible through the lake Michigan, but unfortunately I don't have any information about it. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

Milwaukee's airport is Mitchell (MKE is the code). It is a hub for Midwest Express, an airline I highly recommend. You sit in first-class sized leather seats, two across instead of three, and get warm cookies as a snack.
Drive. It's a car-dependent city. There is a bus system, but if you go there in winter you're not going to want to freeze your buns off waiting for public transportation. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Coming from Chicago, the easiest and fastest way is I-94 North. Also the Amtrak train is quite comfortable. If you're driving, watch out for highway patrol. Apparently Wisconsinese (?) take speed limits very seriously.
I highly recommend driving to Milwaukee on I-794. The highway is near the lake and has a long bridge with an excellent view over the city.
The city itself is quite accessible by foot, as long as you have a good grip to the pavement (heavy winds, reminiscent of Chicago). Milwaukee has a public transportation system also. Theme: Car/Motor Home

Some bus lines are free on New Year's Eve. The bus company is really helpful when you need to get around on teh bus. Give them a call and tell them where you are, where you're going, and at what time, and they will tell you how to get there fastest by bus. Calling the BusLine at (414) 344-6711 is a great way to get the route, schedule and fare information you need. Leave a Comment

A car remains the easiest way to get around Milwaukee. The city is fairly logically laid out, and traffic is minimal compared to major cities. If you're not accustomed to driving in snow and ice, avoid visiting in the winter months. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Interstate 94 mainly goes east west through the heart of Milwaukee and then also leads you to Madison and Chicago. 894 is the bypass that goes around Milwaukee. 43 goes north south and comes from Green Bay and reach Milwaukee along the lakeshore. 41 takes you from Milwaukee to Fond du Lac, Appleton, and then Green Bay.
