Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin
Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin will be the home of the new, expanded facility that will be the first complex in the nation to connect our natural world to our human-made world through ingenuity and innovation, exploration, discovery and technology.
Construction is under way at the old Municipal Pier site in Milwaukee and is due to open in 2006.
