Gift Ideas from your Milwaukee County Parks

If you're looking for a unique gift idea, look no further than your Milwaukee County Parks. From the littlest swimmer, to the experienced golfer, the Parks have something special for all the people on your gift list.

• Vintage Parks Images in Notecard Sets
• For those who love the thrills and spills of Cool Waters, the family aquatic park, buy a Season Pass. Also available for purchase are gift certificates in $5 and $10 denominations. The recipients of your gifts can use the certificates for general admission and "Cool" merchandise such as T-shirts and baseball caps.
• To all the golfers on your list, give the gift that suits them to a tee--the golf gift card. Friends and relatives can use your gifts for greens fees, golf merchandise, and even the Milwaukee County Parks Golf Discount Card.
• Any plant enthusiast or nature lover for whom you'll be shopping will enjoy visiting the Mitchell Park Horticultural Conservatory (better known as The Domes), Boerner Botanical Gardens, or the Wehr Nature Center. For those who want to see "the world" of horticulture, purchase gift admission tickets to the Conservatory. For those with an interest in nature – including birding and prairies – give the gift of a seasonal parking pass to Wehr. The pass provides unlimited visits with free parking all year long.
