I have a fascination with light house. They are so beautiful and what do is amazing

Stopped by on our way through. Easy access to view and take pictures. Beautiful property. Well worth the stop.

Fun place to visit. Nice decorated area to walk through with a good view of the water and beach below.

Beautiful park and lighthouse! I missed the tour by 15 mins and I was sad. I will go back for the tour! There was a wedding going on behind the lighthouse and I didnt want to interrupt so I didnt see all of the grounds yet either.

A great visit and interesting place to walk around and take an outside tour I have not toured the inside and look forward to doing that someday

We went back to visit after we stopped there for the first time for our wedding pictures 12 years ago. Beautiful park. We took our bikes this time and rode the trails.

Must see at least once! Great historic Milwaukee fixture.

The grounds were well maintained. The light house was beautiful. Love the selfy globe.

This is a great landmark for the city and history of Lake Michigan. And goes without saying, a view from above like no other.

I was happy to find a light house where I could ascend to the top.

As u walk the path hear and see the Lake Michigan waves write a poem or just relieve some stress The Water Tower is unique as the environment covered lions

It was closed the day we was there but the lighthouse was beautiful. Wish it was still working

The lighthouse creates picturesque views of this part of Lake Park. There is an opportunity to enter the lighthouse for some exhibition and climb the stairs for the view from its top.

Beautiful displays, interesting historical perspectives, great views from the lighthouse. Fun field trip!

Light house...if you have small kids - its very interesting places for visit. Good location for walking trip to another interesting point - water tower.

Beautiful location! Fair priced. Neat to be able to climb to the top!

The Search for Wisconsin’s LightsSince my arrival in Wisconsin four days ago, I am looking forward to some new discoveries in a state I vaguely know. One of the key things on my list will be the search for lighthouses along the lakes.Today, my trek took me into Milwaukee County to view the 1888 North Point Lighthouse and climb the 84 steps. At first as I neared my destination, I thought my GPS got it all wrong when I viewed the splendid homes in the area. In the past, most of the lighthouses I found were located near vast wilderness of trees, rocky cliffs or at the end of breakers.Before disappointment could set in, the gleaming white tower and museum appeared from the surrounding trees in the nearby park. It was 11 in the morning and the doors would not open until 1:00. I took the opportunity to get some great photos from different angles and to explore the grounds.Located in an area called Lake Park, you feel as though you may be standing in New York’s Central Park. Fredrick Law Olmsted designed that famous landmark and that of the 1893 Chicago Exposition and was commissioned for the work of Lake Park. Lion Bridges join the north and south sections of the park as the lighthouse remains the beacon that overlooks Lake Michigan.You will learn the history of several lighthouse keepers including Georgia Stebbins, a woman who is reported to have held the position the longest, tending to the light by climbing the stairs an estimated 63,800 times.Overall: You are required to sign a waiver prior to climbing the lighthouse stairs. Don’t miss a short drive down to the lake for a relaxing view.

Awesome place to visit. House tour unavailable right now but definitely a place I would visit again.

Volunteers were so friendly and accommodating. Our tour guide did a great job telling us the history of this museum and lighthouse. Climb to the top was a real workout but glad we did. Kids really enjoyed it.

A lovely historic location!

Great place to visit and take a tour.

Beautiful light house specially if you visit after midnight. Some people believe it is haunted. Some others just take a walk around it and enjoy.

The history was amazing, as was the view!

Loved this lighthouse! Had an excellent time and climbed the tower!

Nice area for walking. I wish the side walks could be re done on the outer path.

Beautiful old light, landscaping could use some work, but very nice!

This is such a great place to visit! The climb is worth the view!!

Very cool place a must stop very informative and support for the country lighthouses.

Cool for newcomers but a easy walk for residents

Great place to learn some Milwaukee history! The actual lighthouse is cool, but a bit tough to get up! Kids might be a little scared! Great place to visit!

Didnt get a chance to read up on the history, just another good reason to go back

Well kept landmark with rather interesting history. Worth a visit!

The lighthouse is located in Lake Park just off Wahl St. along Lake Michigan in Glendale, Wis. The historic lighthouse was originally built in 1855 and replaced in 1888. It is now on the National Register of Historic Places. There is a small fee to tour the lighthouse and the museum...well worth it. There are walking trails in back of the structure which will take you through a beautiful park along the lake cliffs. The parking is good there are clean restrooms available.

Beautiful building from 1883 - great view over Lake Michigan and a nice park for a walk

Beautiful light house ... even though it was closed.

Really interesting history of North Point Lighthouse and ships of Lake Michigan. Beautiful views and fun climbing up the lighthouse steps.

Nice place to walk

Very beautiful. Nestled in historic homes district. Worth visiting.

Its very nice.. Would of loved to see it when it worked.

Awesome area. So much history, loved it.

Unfortunately it was closed because of covid but it is a beautiful lighthouse and property

Interesting facts about lighthouse keepers. The view from the top was gorgeous!

Gorgeous place to see any season

Went to the lighthouse for a lecture. Excellent historical location. Will try to go to the to of the tower next time

Wonderful place to see and visit when visiting Milwaukee would definitely recommend having a look at this beautiful historical lighthouse well taken care of an the view of lake Michigan was great as well was a beautiful day and our first light house viewing as a family will definitely go again.

The North Point Lighthouse is a beautiful gem. I had never been there, but decided to do the tour when friends asked me to go with. Surround by trees and landscaping, overlooking the lake, it was easy to forget you were in the middle of the city. The lighthouse might not look that tall, but when you take the winding walk up to the top, you find that it is taller than expected, and well worth it. The view from above is amazing. Highly reccommend!

This is a beautiful lighthouse in a beautiful park thats in a beautiful neighborhood.

It was closed the day we went so we didnt get to go in it, but it looks great from the outside. The grounds around it are beautiful.

Beautiful place in a beautiful park.

Nice outdoors place

Beautiful place, the house was closed when I was there, but I still browse around for 30 min.(it was really cold), it was amazing experience.

Beautifully restored and rebuilt lighthouse on the lake. Now a museum and event venue. Populr for weddings. Beautiful setting and beautiful building moved bck from original location on the bluff.

Surprisingly extensive, interesting information for a small museum. Very well done and the views from the top of the lighthouse are awesome.

My family & I take all of summer walks in the evening along this street. It NEVER gets old. Although I luv the Fall, Im bummed to see summer end.

I loved the tour and its history. I got amazing views of 3 major cities and great pictures!

Beautiful old lighthouse ... riveted steel I think. Very interesting. Lovely grounds.

NIce lighthouse there that you can easily climb to get a birds eye view of the lake and Milwaukee skyline.

Nice area to walk. Take the ravine trails if not too muddy.

Beautiful views and nice area

Beautiful property and grounds

Very nice light house along historic and scenic walking path

One of my favorite places in the city! If you go youll want a membership so you can go all year long!

I really enjoyed it! It was quiet and since it was Monday, a handful of people were in the area (Lighthouse was closed to public, but that was ok). Lawn and flower beds were well groomed. I thought the selfie spot was neat. Definitely a cute tourist spot in the area.

Totally worth a visit. You’re not a good tourist if you don’t.

One of the nicest Lighthouses weve ever seen. Staff was super friendly

Nice little place but the staff is what really makes a place feel homeyThey found out we were from south dakota and they stayed a bit longer to show us around and that was more than I can say cause we definitely appreciated that for sure

It was closed when we got there but it was still a marvelous sight to behold.

DESCO (Diving Equipment & Supply Company) was founded in 1937 to manufacture diving equipment developed by Max Nohl and Jack Browne. Max Nohl was a marine engineer in Milwaukee, educated at MIT, and the holder of a diving depth record (420 feet) he set in Lake Michigan on December 1, 1937.

Simply the best. Gorgeous and photogenic even when its closed, but so much more educational when its open! They have fun gifts in the shop, and of course the view from the top is breathtaking.

Wonderful place to take pictures. Took my sons prom pictures here and they turned out great.

Nice little lighthouse tour and lovely garden around

Was walking past for exercise. Seems nice.

We were here while they were closed unfortunately, but the exterior is breathtaking. We will definitely be going back during operating hours on our next visit to Milwaukee.

My son loved it, good view, scary ladder though!

A hidden gem in Milwaukee

Climbed to the top for a beautiful view... lovely party venue

This is a wonderful place near downtown Milwaukee that you need to go visit? The views of the lake from the front yard are magnificent. The lighthouse itself has a lengthy history. Its another great place buy a Great Lake.

This is a very beautiful lighthouse to visit. We enjoyed our time here during the Harley Davidson 105th anniversary. This is one of my favorite side trips from the rally as a getaway from the crowd. I would recommend this as a destination for anyone visiting Milwaukee.

We visited on a beautiful, sunny, spring day. The lighthouse is in a great shape, you can climb up on the spiral stairs and see the museum downstairs as well. We were greeted kindly and got a tour which we enjoyed very much. Everyone is really nice.

A very cute remnant of Great Lakes maritime history. The lighthouse is well preserved, and its something that even most Milwaukeans are not aware of. Maybe they are, but I didnt go to elementary school here, so I never visited it on a field trip. Its a great spot for a walk and for selfies, right next to a park that was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, who also designed Central Park in New York City. Old winding walkways and scenic views of Lake Michigan.

Beautiful monument in a splendid park area

Beautiful restored building.

This is a great place. Go up inside the lighthouse and look at the lake!

Beautiful venue for a beautiful wedding! The staff was so helpful in making our wedding perfect!

Ask about where military diving equipment is made. Facinating maritime history.

The lighthouse has a unique shape, you are allowed to go all the way to the top. The whole area is beautiful and peaceful with mile of hiking by the lake

Its located in Lake Park in a very scenic area.

Great place to visit for a few minutes, or the whole day! Beautiful gardens with resident rabbits and other wildlife. Amazing architecture throughout the grounds, including the adjacent Lake Park.

Cool place to see

The women working there were very knowledgeable, passionate and friendly. The view was pretty from top and the museum was very interesting.

Beautiful historic place. Lots of lighthouse background and good landscaping surrounded by a woods and the lake, of course. We even saw a hummingbird! Busy place is even rented out for weddings and other events.

Awesome place to visit and great views the gardens around it are beautiful! We even got in free because of my military veteran status. Really enjoyed our visit!

Nice place to visit but I wouldn’t wanna live there

This place is historic. The house tour guide was wonderful.

Fav.....

Great day in Milwaukee, gorgeous scenery light house was fun.

Very informative tours. Getting to go up in the lighthouse is fun

Historic North point light house is currently alight for the holidays. A beautiful park to walk in while we await true winter.

Beautiful calm place!

Nice quiet place. Seating available
