Things To Do
The Boneyard
An outdoor adult bar that doubles as a dog park! The best of both worlds, really.
Olbrich Botanical Gardens
A lovely outdoor space to spend some time walking around. Within a 10-15 minute walk of the Goodman Community Center venue. The 16 acres of gardens include a tropical conservatory, a rose garden & a Thai pavilion.
Picnic Point
This is a great place for a walk! Picnic Point, a mile-long peninsula along Lake Mendota’s south shore, with a surrounded lake view at the end. It is among Madison’s most distinctive features and very popular place for a nature escape.
Saturday on the Square: Dane County Farmers' Market
Spend your Saturday morning perusing the big farmers market that surrounds the WI State Capitol in the heart of Madison. Our main reccommendation is the Stella's Hot & Spicy bread (~$12) generally found on the West side, closest to State Street. Hours: Saturday 6:30 am until 1:30 pm
The Terrace & Der Rathskeller
Visit the iconic Madison Terrace at the UW Madison Memorial Union. Hangout with a pitcher of beer and some cheese curds overlooking Lake Mendota on the array of colorful sunbust chairs.
