What You'll Get
A horse-drawn carriage allows you to experience the antique joy of being moved by a real, living creature, like being tied to a grazing antelope or getting a piggyback ride from a Jell-O mold. Tether your travels to a gentle beast with today’s Groupon: for $25, you get a 30-minute horse-and-carriage ride with Milwaukee Coach and Carriage in downtown Milwaukee (a $50 value).
Milwaukee Coach and Carriage ferries passengers about the scenic vistas of downtown Milwaukee in romantic, equine-driven style and comfort. The friendly, professional drivers and city-acclimated horses provide smooth street sailing among the hustle and bustle of a modern metropolis, with rides starting at the Pfister, Hyatt, and InterContinental hotels and traveling down Water Street and Mason Street, as you take in the sights of Cathedral Park. The stately rhythm of the horse's gait, coupled with the beauty of the city at dusk, make rides the perfect prologue to a romantic evening or an ideal epilogue following elevation to the British Peerage. Rides start at 6 p.m. on weekdays and 5 p.m. on weekends and are available until 10 p.m.
