Things To Do

Memorial Union

Iconic University of Wisconsin student union, right at the confluence of Bascom Hill and State Street. Grab a pitcher at Der Rathskeller to start your journey down State Street toward the Capitol.

Muskellounge and Sporting Club

Our fave strip mall bar...upscale northwoods vibes and great spot to hang.

Ahan

Asian fusion food that is absolutely superb.

Mint Mark

Great spot for a nice dinner,we're big fans!

Tip Top Tavern

Dive bar with great locally-sourced burgers

Madison Sourdough

Great for breakfast - be sure to grab a pastry!

Working Draft Beer Company

Young Blood Beer Company - King Street

Wisconsin State Capitol

Check out this beauty at the end of State Street. You can take a free tour inside to see the beautiful rotunda, or just bask in the snow-covered landmark from the outside.

Frozen Assets Festival

Good winter fun to check out before the wedding! Plus supports one of our fave non-profits, Clean Lakes Alliance!

Winter Carnival

Lake Mendota

The ice is thick enough to take a stroll on, just stay close-ish to shore and don't be the furthest person out on the ice!

Lake Monona

The ice is thick enough to take a stroll on, just don't be the furthest person out on the ice!

Olbrich Botanical Gardens

If it is a nice day, walk through the winter gardens. Fun fact: Olbrich's Thai Pavilion is the only one in the continental United States and the only one outside of Thailand surrounded by a garden. If it is a cold day, warm up in the Bolz Conservatory. Bonus if you visit the park next door to go ice-skating - there are usually skates available to borrow in the warming house.
