General Mitchell International Airport

Take a (cool) seat at Milwaukee’s Mitchell Airport

Here’s a fun new amenity at Milwaukee’s General Mitchell International Airport: State of Wisconsin-shaped Adirondack chairs, complete with edges of cheese as end tables!

Look for the chairs in Concourse D.

While you’re at MKE, you can also play ping-pong for free.

The table has been at the airport since 2011, when Milwaukee hosted the U.S. Table Tennis Open. The table at the airport was such a big hit, that they decided to keep it in place permanently.

No time to go to China this summer? Then consider going to Milwaukee.

The city’s “Summer of China” celebration includes an exhibit of Chinese art and architecture at the Milwaukee Art Museum. The U.S. Table Tennis Open was played in town earlier this month.

To keep the love going, there are ping-pong tables set up around town for anyone to use.

You’ll find them at the Harley-Davidson Museum, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the InterContinental Milwaukee Hotel, Mitchell Park Conservatory, Chase Bank Plaza, Horny Goat Hideaway and Lakefront Brewery and in the main concession mall at the General Mitchell International Airport.
