Depends who they are but our Children's Museum is a real gem and it keeps getting larger.

Here in Patzcuaro, Mexico I highly recommend a drive around the 27 mile long lake, stopping at every artisan pueblito (village) and ending the day with a boat ride out to the island of Janitzio, hiking to the top and spiralling up the monument to see all of the beautiful oil and acrylic murals inside the walls of the huge statue of Don Vasco de Quiroga.
Harbor Springs, Michigan: Beautiful resort town with the deepest fresh water harbor in the States. Sailing, power boating, kayaking, championship golf courses, fine skiing, and million dollar sunsets.
Neighboring town of Petoskey - a quaint, historic, beautiful Victorian town with fabulous shops, restaurants, Indian museum, beaches.
Of course, dinner at Stafford's Pier Restaurant where I am a manager, overlooking the harbor. Fabulous food and atmosphere, great bar with entertainment.
Location: Wisconsin....about 100 miles south of the Frozen Tundra and 70 miles east of Camp Randall

OK - in no particular order" The Milwaukee County Zoo (one of the country's best), Miller Park for a baseball game during the season, The Milwaukee Art Museum - not particularly inside, but looking at it around noon on a day when the wind is light as the "Briese Soleil" opens up - it looks like a sailing ships main sails being opened - this is locally known as "The Calatrava", the Lake Michigan lake front, playing golf at nearby Kohler, Wi at either Blackwolf Run or Whistling Straits.

I brew myself and I have toured many breweries. This is hands-down the best brewery tour I have ever been on. It is very popular, so popular that you have to make reservations online to be able to take one.
WE also have some nice zoo's here in Chicago, either Brookfield or Lincoln Park...The Musium of Science and Industry is also a good see, along with the Art Institute...
There are several cities that I have enjoyed visiting but the top one on my list has to be London. Who could ever forget seeing the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, seeing the crown jewels, going to Westminster Abbey, going to the theater district, shopping at Harrods and having a fine dinner at Cunninghams. A close second would be Vancouver; one of the most beautiful cities in the world with the mountains gazing above the water, going to "old town" Vancouver, spending a day at Stanley Park and and shopping in many of the great stores there!
Ottawa, Ontario....In winter time I would suggest a nighttime skate on the Rideau Canal followed by a cup of hot chocolate and a 'Beavertail'. In summer see the 'Changing of the Guard' on Parliament Hill and then visit the Byward Market for lunch in one of the many fine restaurants.
