While Madison may not have as many show options as NYC, the Overture Center for the Arts in downtown Madison does host touring productions of Broadway shows throughout the year. I am a Broadway fanatic and try to visit NYC at least a couple times every year to see some shows. See a Broadway show at the Overture Center for the Arts Whether you want to have great views of the water, enjoy some ice cream, or just roll around the campus, it’s sure to be a fun time. If you’re visiting Madison, definitely plan some time to explore the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. It was nice to see everyone out on the water boating and enjoying a gorgeous day while eating some delicious ice cream. Memorial Union is a place to socialize, relax, and it is lakefront with gorgeous views of Lake Mendota. We then sat outside at Memorial Union Terrace and ate it. My favorite part of exploring the campus though was when we grabbed some ice cream at Daily Scoop inside Memorial Union. The campus is beautiful and I loved rolling around and seeing the architecture of the buildings. Visit the University of Wisconsin-Madison campusĪs I neared the end of State Street, I arrived at the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. I had no problem at all crossing any of the streets and it was nice to be able to independently get around in the bustling downtown area. The ramped curb cuts at each street crossing were probably the smoothest I’ve ever encountered in my travels. Most of the businesses that I saw on State Street had smooth entry for a wheelchair, but what impressed me the most were all of the curb cuts. I’m tellin’ ya, Madison really does have it all! I rolled the entirety of State Street and really enjoyed seeing all of the shops… and I may have even screamed with glee a bit when I spotted a Taco Bell Cantina, which serves alcohol and is a fancier version of your standard Taco Bell. It’s about seven blocks and nearly a mile long, but there are dozens of shops and restaurants along the way. State Street extends from Capitol Square to the University of Wisconsin campus. I started my visit to Madison by exploring State Street and it was the perfect introduction to this quirky city.
