To continue on the Bong thread, I believe there is a museum dedicated to
Richard Bong just outside Superior, Wisconsin, which puts it up near Duluth.

Mars Cheese Castle is a great tourist trap/cheese shop/restaurant/etc.  If
your interested in outdoor museums, there is Old World Wisconsin, provided
the state hasn't closed it yet for budgetary reasons.  It's about thirty
miles southwest of Milwaukee.  There is also Ten Chimneys is the suburbs.
An historic house once owned by a theater and movie actress from the
twenties.  House on the Rock is good for kitsch, it will also get you near
the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.

As for other activities, you can visit the still relatively new Miller Park.
I here that great seats are still available for all Brewers home games.
Milwaukee also has a great lakefront with a park area dedicated to
festivals.  During the summer there is a festival almost every weekend.
Typically they are ethnic in scope (German Fest, Italian Fest, etc.).
