FAQ
- What Is Milwaukee Kids Expo?
The Milwaukee Kids Expo offers the perfect outlet for families to come out and learn, explore + play together! With over a dozen Play Zones, performances on the Main Stage, and an expo hall full of vendors & local businesses, there’s something for the whole family.
- When Is Milwaukee Kids Expo?
The next expo will take place on February 12-13, 2022.
- Who Attends Milwaukee Kids Expo?
Anyone who wants to experience a day focused on everything kids love! Bring your kids for arts & crafts projects, demonstrations and more. Plan your next family vacation, your child’s summer camp, and meet with local businesses that are specifically kid-oriented.
- How Much Does It Cost To Attend?
Admission prices at the door are: $9 for adults, $6 for kids.
However, you can save time AND money by purchasing advanced discount tickets!
- Does A Ticket Cover Both Days?
No; each ticket is only good for one day. Tickets purchased online are valid for either day – but only one day.
- I Bought Tickets Online And Now I Can’t Go. Will You Refund My Money?
Unfortunately, tickets are non-refundable. You can transfer them to another person, if you have a friend or family member who wants to go instead!
- Do I Need To Bring Anything For My Children To Be Able To Play At The Expo?
YES! We recommend socks for all kids who are playing on the inflatables or in the toddler play area.
Also, all children playing on the inflatables should have a completed waiver. You can download one here prior to the event.
We also recommend you bring address label stickers for walking around the vendor marketplace. Many vendors offer giveaways or prizes. You can save your hand from all that writing by bringing along pre-printed stickers with your contact information!
- Are There Any Additional Fees?
We do recommend you bring cash with you, for food & concessions or additional activity charges. Some of our activities are free/included with your ticket price, but a few attractions do require an additional fee. Please check the Play Zone page for details on any additional costs.
- Is Parking Included With The Ticket Price?
Parking is NOT included. The State Fair Park charges $6 (cash or credit) for every vehicle to park in their lot. We strongly encourage attendees to carpool or use an alternate method such as the MCTS or a passenger cab service.
- Does The Bus Take Me To The State Fair Park?
Yes! Please visit the MCTS website for details.
- Is there a private “mother’s space” for mothers to nurse/feed their children?
Yes! There will be a quiet and private, double-draped (enclosed) area in the lobby for mothers to use. There will be signs designating this area. Ask a staff member if you need assistance locating the area.
- What If I Still Have Questions?
Please email [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you at the Milwaukee Kids Expo!
