State street is known for it's locally-owned clothing and gift shops, bars, restaurants, and street performers. Jackie recommends the Soap Opera, Madison Modern Market, and Chocolate Shoppe Ice Cream Co.
Visitors are welcome to take a tour through the beautiful Wisconsin State Capitol. We highly recommend making your way up to the observation deck, then up the spiral staircase to the Lantern Balcony for a breathtaking view of the Isthmus.
A classic Madison local brewery! Located directly across the street from the hotel. Stop in for a game of pool, shuffleboard, or darts.
Jackie's favorite spot for a glass of wine just a few miles west of Fitchburg. While we rarely agree on wine, the Blue Rapture is a favorite of both the bride & groom. While you're there, be sure to order a pizza from Sugar River just across the street - it's the best pizza in town!
Make your way through the delightfully bizarre Epic campus using their self-guide tour maps! This place is not only fascinating and expansive, it holds a lot of special memories for the couple. Be sure to visit their website (clicking the "view" button) to see if they are open for public tours during the pandemic.
