Had a wonderful tour there. Such a beautiful city. There is no high-rise building, so if you get lost, all you have to do is to find the capitol building and you are good to go. Beautiful architecture & wonderfully maintained. More

Fun place to go for your birthday to get a free mug with your beverage of choice to drink, a balloon and the world smallest ice cream sundae. They sing to you and announce your name when they add it to the birthday name board. Love the gritty burger and their gritty sauce. More

The concerts on the square on a Wednesday evening from the end of June thru July are a lovely way to spend an evening. Take along a picnic or buy food from the many vendors. Saturday morning farmers market is agreat way to spend a couple of hours wandering round and buying some great products. More

I got a great sense of Wisconsin life by watching the schoolchildren, state office workers, vendors, masses of students, and mobius strip traffic patterns. More
