As the weather is getting nicer, we may have an urge to go out and venture with friends and family (with social distancing restrictions in mind of course). It has become evident that a lot of advertising for activities and events in the Milwaukee area involves drinking. Given this, it is important to identify activities that are family-friendly and safe for those in recovery.
Provided below is a website that lists various sober activities to enjoy, such as bowling, rock climbing, kayaking, or visiting the Urban Ecology Center. The interactive website also provides a Google Map with each destination identified.
