This zoo is one of only a handful of admission-free, community-supported zoos in the country. The bride and groom loved to go here on dates when they were going to UW Madison. It's homecoming weekend, so it might be a bit busy, but it's worth it!
The best farmer's market in the country. Enjoy fresh fruit, vegetables, pastries, and some awesome people watching!
Enjoy fall colors and go on a hike in the university's arboretum! The bride and groom went on one of their first dates in this very spot.
Down for a bit of a longer drive? Head to Governor Nelson to get away from the homecoming weekend crowds and check out great views of Lake Mendota.
