Apropos of nothing, here are 9 places in Milwaukee (and the surrounding Milwaukee area) where you can relax or break stuff! (This list is far from exhaustive, so let us know YOUR favorite place to relax or break stuff!)

FLOAT MILWAUKEE
211 W. Freshwater Way
“Research shows that the effects of a float session can be equivalent to eight hours of deep sleep, making it one of the most efficient relaxation therapies available. A float tank is an enclosed structure (or open pool) which eliminates external stimuli, and resets your senses. Each tank holds approximately 200 gallons of water with 900 lbs. of dissolved Epsom salts, enabling a person to float effortlessly. The water is heated to an average skin temperature, all but eliminating the sensation. Floaters describe the experience like ‘drifting in empty space.'”
