The Milwaukee Admirals are making waves in the American Hockey League (AHL) and setting the stage for unforgettable family outings with their remarkable winning streak.
Here’s what families can expect when they take their kids to a Milwaukee Admirals game. Let’s dive in!
Admirals games are a blast for families, but navigating the busy arena with little ones can be tricky. Check out our Crowd Safety Tips for Kids & Families for expert advice on keeping your kids safe in crowded spaces.
Family Experience
Inside the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena, families are greeted with a whole lineup of activities to keep every member of the family engaged.
For the little Admirals fans, there’s a special kids’ zone designed to make their experience unforgettable. They can unleash their creativity by making signs to cheer on the team, dress up in hockey gear for that perfect photo op, or even take a shot at scoring a goal with puck shooting games.
And for those who love a good game of air hockey, bubble hockey tables are ready to provide that off-ice excitement.
When the game takes a break, the entertainment doesn’t. Intermissions are a spectacle in themselves with contests like human hockey puck bowling will have the kids giggling.
And keep an eye out for Roscoe, the beloved mascot, as he makes his way through the crowd, giving high-fives and creating memorable moments.
There’s also a pirate ship that glides along the ice launching t-shirts from cannons into the crowd. And above, watch as a blimp sails gracefully, dropping coupons for the lucky fans below.
As for the essentials, you’ll find that grabbing a bite or a drink won’t break the bank, as food and beverages are more reasonably priced compared to other sporting venues.
And while the fast-paced action might be a whirlwind for the younger kids to follow, the atmosphere of excitement is contagious, ensuring that everyone, no matter their age, gets swept up in the moment.
For hockey-loving families, Roscoe’s Crew Kids Club offers ticket vouchers, exclusive merchandise, and special events like parties with Roscoe and the players.
The team ensures that even the youngest fans feel welcome, with children under two years old admitted for free, underlining the Admirals’ role as a staple of family entertainment in Milwaukee.
