Your guide to activities and fun things to do with your preschoolers, toddlers and kids in Milwaukee, WI

This week's list is being published today in honor of Earth Day!

With the sun shining and the spring-like temperatures, it's time to get out and appreciate the outdoors. Luckily Milwaukee has many great places for a nature hike. Here are some of them:

Grant Park: With seven bridges, winding trails and of course, a great playground, you can spend all afternoon taking in the beauty of Lake Michigan and fresh air.

The Urban Ecology Center: I know I mention the UEC often, but I would re-miss if I didn't mention it. Visit the website for all of the Earth Day festivities.

Schlitz Audobon Center: With miles of trails and wildlife, only 15 minutes away from Milwaukee it's a great escape. You will feel like you've gone to the North Woods.

Wehr Nature Center: In Whitnall Park, choose from five miles of trails and visit various different eco-systems.

You can find trail maps for all of these places online. Enjoy this beautiful Earth Day!
