A mile-long street that starts at Bascom Hill (UW-Madison) and ends at the Capital. Lots of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, novelty stores, and people watching.
Early October is a perfect time to go to the zoo! Admission is free.
The Memorial Union Terrace is right on Lake Mendota and is open to the public. It is a great place to grab some ice cream, or a beer, and listen to live music in the evening or watch the Hoofer sailboats.
Beautiful gardens, free admission to the outdoor gardens and $2 admission to the indoor Conservatory.
One of our favorite bars/restaurants. Good food, good drinks (60 Wisconsin beers on tap!), family friendly.
This family business makes their own noodles. Awesome noodle soups (Tong Mein)! I always get the Wonton and Gyoza Tong Mein.
The best burgers in Madison (I always get the Black and Blue). Come hungry! Serving sizes are huge!
