Make-A-Wish Wisconsin joined with Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport to cut the ribbon on two new children’s play areas on Concourse C and D on Thursday.
The existing spaces were remodeled and branded as Make-A-Wish Kids Zones.
XThey include updated play equipment, new paint and décor, including new custom carpeting. That carpeting is a cheery take on Lake Michigan and the airport’s longest runway, Runway 1L, also known as “One Left.”
The two areas are have the same look and play equipment. They are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and are free to use.
“It was a natural fit to partner with Make-A-Wish on our updated children’s play areas,” said Airport Director Brian Dranzik.
“MKE and Make-A-Wish share a long history together, and many wish children have traveled through our Airport as part of their wishes coming true.”
XRoughly three-quarters of wishes granted to children by Make-A-Wish involve a visit to the airport.
“Make-A-Wish Wisconsin is thrilled to partner with Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport on the new Kids Zone play areas on Concourse C and D,” said Make-A-Wish Wisconsin Sr. Director of Marketing & Communications Forrest Doolen.
“These spaces will give children and their families joy during their travels and highlight the need for airline miles to help grant wishes for kids battling critical illnesses.”
County Executive David Crowley, who was also at the ribbon cutting, added, “Many other airports don’t offer inclusive, family-friendly amenities like this. I commend Brian and his team for working to bring this exciting new space to fruition and continuing to create an airport travel experience that is second to none.”
