Get some ice cream and sit out on the terrace overlooking the lake with some live music!
My favorite State Park! Great bluff hike & swimming!
Such a neat museum highlighting the circus world history (Ringling Brothers, etc). Circus World, a marvelous museum replete with only the most spectacular sights, lights and delights! Gaze in wonder and marvel at your own pace as you travel through seven National Historic Landmark buildings in this historic, stupendous space. From a parade of wood-carved wagons to live shows and more, there’s something here for the whole family to explore.
Waterparks (recommend: Kalahari, Noah's Ark, Mt. Olympus), Touristy town, Nature, Malls, & Camping (including where we first met!)
A must every summer! Started by my brother, Ryan, canoeing down the WI river is relaxing, fun, and beautiful!
The most insane house ever built with lots of cool crazy themed rooms to see inside.
Gorgeous botanical garden near a giant park, the lake, and a beer garden across the street.
Get some pizza and ice cream here after Olbrich Botanical Gardens!
If it's still open...they sell beer in a giant boot! This is where Adam and I had our first date.
Fun and cool rooftop bar in downtown Madison with a cabin / summer camp vibe.
Small, but nice zoo.
Next to the zoo. Rent some paddle boards & relax in the water! (not the best for just swimming since there is lots of seaweed near the shore).
Wednesday evenings is live music & food stands!
Saturday mornings!
My favorite pasties! So delicious! Pick some up!
Fun and very cool looking mini golf course - outdoor and indoor. Beer and ice cream are served here, too!
Best views of downtown Madison & capital building with the lake in view!
Short nature walk!
Fun pool for the kids.
