Very cute place,kite store,serves ice cream and snacks,sitting areas, very nice and helpful staff.
Asked for a strawberry smoothie, the cashier agreed with me that I ordered a strawberry smoothie as well. Once they called the order, it was a strawberry shake, and it wasn’t until then that another employee told me that they didn’t have strawberry smoothies… :(
Fun place to go. Got a great kite here.
Great little spot at Veterans Park with friendly staff who want you to enjoy the wind and the day. Pop in for a new kite, some air toys, ice cream, or a quick bite.
Check the dates on the snacks you purchase from this place. They still have snacks from 2020.
Sponsors free movies in park. Good food .
Reasonable prices given location.
I am not the skilled stunt kite flyer that I once was and managed to render my kite unflyable. Thankfully, Scott at Gift of Wings spent a chunk of time on a busy afternoon to get me back in the air again. He knows his stuff and was very very helpful! The store was hopping with customers and still he squeezed in time to help me out. Thanks Scott!
Lovely spot...nice employees
Large kite selection - though slightly overpriced. You can get a cheaper kite on Amazon.
Cool kites and snacks
I nice place to take a break and have a snack while walking along the lakefront. There are a bunch of different food options from hot dogs to ice cream and a store full of kites to shop. If you want popcorn or chips and a drink they have that too. Theres some indoor and outdoor seating if you want to rest before resuming your activities.I really enjoyed building my own Chicago dog during my visit to the store but then I was also quite hungry.
On the lakefront walk path. In prime location but could be more sufficiently stocked.
This was the first time visiting this location. We frequently visit the Greendale Location. Your service is amazing and of course my daughter loves your ice cream!
Some workers are very improfesional, they are very improfesional to their clients, they get mad for no reason. I hope the owner pays more attention to his/her employees. Aside from that they have great icecream and high quality kites.
Great little shop with amazing service and knowledgeable staff on kites! Had a great day in the park after purchasing a kite.
Great store with a very helpful and friendly staff had a quick burger from the grill that tasted great also bought a small kite one outside and enjoyed a little bit of flying definitely worth the trip down to the lakefront enjoy an ice cream hamburger a new kite or whatever other fun things you might find
The review by Brett Marvins is inappropriate and untrue. Gift of Wings in Veterans Park is a professionally run kite and food business of 32 years. Our store staff is professional, knowledgable and always helpful. The store is clean, our food is handled properly, and organized. We have filed a complaint with Google, and our legal team is currently working with Google and the Wisconsin Attorney General to shut down Mr Marvins false, libelous and defamatory comments. My name is Scott Fisher and I own Gift of Wings.
Great ice cream! I got the superman scoop on a sugar cone! Theres a beautiful view of the Milwaukee skyline as well as a breathtaking waterside walkway on Lake Michigan. Highly recommended for relaxation!
Super cool store specializing in kites. Our family had a great time by the lake flying the kites we purchased here.
Very helpful staff. Great kites. I am an experienced kite flyer, so I thought everyone in my family needed a kite, but we used one kite for every 3 people and it worked well. Did not use one kite purchased. The wind was 30 mph at the store. Wow was it fun!!!
Pathetic customer service, expensive kites, no expertise on what is good kite, selling small kites with big tail and telling its easy to fly, the kite just wouldnt stay up because of big heavy tail. They should know their stuff. Wash hoping they would let us exchange or provide good expertise as to what kites are easy to fly.
Theyve got a great spot to sell kites and they use that to their advantage to price gouge. Food is meh. No reason to go here unless youve planned your day poorly. This place is convenience.
Reviewed on Memorial Day, do take into account how busy it was. Food wise, two lines, the first to pay, the second to actually order. Merchandise wise they have a great selection of kites and yard spinners. Friendly staff, always helpful.
Good prices. Friendly staff.
If you like kites and other cool flying objects check out this store. I bought my son a bird that flies here. Very unique toy!
You meet some great people and a wonderful crew.They are always helpful, and always a smile.They have a great weather station.Enjoy.
Edit: stopped by again recently and the service qne ice cream was great! Thanks!Stopped by for ice cream. Ice cream left something to be desired, it wasnt flavorful at all. Its also marked up relatively high. The person running the store also lied about being out of dishes when I asked for one for my cone. I saw others behind me walking out with some after I had sat down outside...which is quite ridiculous of something to lie about. Service was also so-so...All in all, Id skip it the next time Im around and grab a snack somewhere else.
Great assortment of Kites and family Bike rentals. Snacks available.
Clean place, friendly staff, kites fly beautifully 😊
Great selection of kites in all price ranges. Tasty ice cream too!
Stopped for a bite to eat. They didnt have advertised products, the hot dogs, chili and onion rings my daughter and I shared all were yucky. The 2 guys working the counter are slow. The hot chocolate and bottle of dew were the only thing good.
Good selection of kites and activities for around the park. It is a good spot to meet up for your park and around the lake activities. Good location.
Kids love this place and summer is great time to come and relax here
Fun stuff... stop in, get some cool, unusual kites and take advantage of the Lake Michigan winds!
Large selection of kites and wind blown decorations. They sell ice cream and some other food as well. It was an overall nice place.
God I love this place ice cream. There food is pretty darn good too. The kite store is exiting and you can get a small kite for a child that flys great for 10 dollars. Just dont get the jelly fish they dont fly.
Lots of fun. Great view and kids loved all the options
The trash was piles up, there were several bees in here, it was ran by teenagers that didnt seem to know what they were doing and it was just gross overall.
Perfect place for an outing or physical activities. There are rental areas for bikes, boating and other recreational activities.
Cool kite choices. Prices are ridiculous though for all kites and any small kids items.
Four lines of Revolution quad kites, many different two lines stunt kites, big selection of conventional one liners. The space is small and rather hot. Other locations in Milwaukee.
A strange and interesting place to have a place. Why here?
The girls who were working there when I stopped in were super friendly and thoughtful!! Really helped me out!
This sits in Veterans park which hosts kite events. Must see
Not impressed ordered a hamburger charged for a cheese burger pointed out I didnt want cheese. Asked.for the 1.00 back looked at me like I was an idiot
Beautiful area Good eats 👌
Great food and kites!!
Awful place run by an awful man. I will never be back after I saw the way the owner talked to some of his employees! Unbelievable.
Nice for whole family, and prices are reasonable.
One of my favorite events on the lakefront
Nice shop.
Havent been there
Kite season. Check out the kites.
Expensive fun for kids
Customer services was good..
Great service!
Who doesn’t love flying kites?
Wish they have more stuff in the store.
Really cool place
Great place
SO trendy, SO fun!!
Awful food and awful overpriced ice cream
Pretty cool!
Good store!
Great info
I like
Bad behavior, I treat badly and I really do not return I went out to distract myself and I left annoyed
It is relaxing to eat an ice cream and walk along the shore of the lake
