We love it and got married there in 1976. Beautiful gardens with labeled plants, wonderful walkways and a shuttle tour. Really enjoyed Butterflies and Blooms, Holiday Flowers and model train show. Beautiful Thai Pavilian, etc. Well worth your time.
2. Little Amerricka

Reviewed By Richard K - Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Little Amerricka is a throw back of the many smaller amusement parks that used to be around in the 50's and 60's when I was growing up, except it's better. Rides tickets can be purchased individually at $1.50 each, or with wrist bands that vary in cost from $11.95 to $18.95, based on age and height allow access to all the designated rides all day. There are more rides and attractions and all are aimed at children, providing a wonderful experience for them. It is like a trip back in time on an old wooden roller coaster, Metor, or the metal coaster, the Mad Mouse, along with Tilt-a-whirl, The Scrambler, Parachute drop, a train, a monorail, bumper cars and boats, a haunted house, and many, many more. You can definitely spend the day, and they even have picnic grounds and you can bring in your own food and refreshments (although alcohol is not allowed). If not, there are concessions available on the grounds. Everything is close enough that you don't have to walk for miles to get through the park. It is a great way to spend a family day with children.

Our family enjoyed our quick stop at the Mousehouse Cheesehaus. We purchased the aged asiago cheese spread, an assortment of fudge, and caramels. Everything was delicious. The caramels are the best I have ever had! They also have cute gifts.

Reviewed By Jason Y - Madison, Wisconsin, United States
Came here for my first time last year and had an amazing experience. Had a gift card to the whole evening wasn't bad at all as far as cost. The seats were almost too comfortable, but loved being able to pre-assign. Everything we ordered from the menu was great. Had a Cherry Hurricane, Pretzel Sticks with dipping sauces and Mini Donuts with dipping sauces for dessert. Had I not had the gift card, this would have been a pricey night out, but it would be something I'd do anyway maybe once or twice a year.
5. Sassy Cow Creamery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 31 reviews
Reviewed By David W - McFarland, Wisconsin
You can't beat Sassy Cow ice cream, best in WI and maybe best anywhere. Our tour included three bus loads of people with several guests in wheelchairs. This tour is not designed for the close to 50 people that began on a second floor with no elevator. Our one tour guide tried hard to handle this huge group but it made it tough on her. We got a chance to see the milk cows and the "merry go round" milking process. The timing of our tour was perfect to hit the 4:00 milking. Had a chance to sample some chocolate milk and tour guide did tell us a little about the process but with this size group it did not make her job easy. Did not get a chance to see anything happening in the ice cream process but did enjoy the ice cream that we purchased, some now and some cartons to take home. Nice visit.
6. Ski's Saloon

4.5 based on 4 reviews
Reviewed By Martin T - Sun Prairie, Wisconsin
I believe the couple that founded and owned Ski's Saloon sold it to a friend named Barr who renamed it. It has a friendly atmosphere, good beer, and as the current sign states, other potables as well. One tradition that has endured- the big sign on the wall outside. They change the messages every so often, they're always funny and you don't want to miss any of them.

10. Lake Mendota
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 139 reviews
Ideal for boating in the summer, and ice skating or ice fishing in winter.
Reviewed By Cameron R
Wow. Any time of year, Lake Mendota takes my breath away. On sunny days, during sunsets, when it's frozen and people are skating, when youth camps parade sailboats along the shoreline: Lake Mendota ceases to amaze me. It's not huge like the Great Lakes but big enough to allow plenty of boats and activity. Visit the UW-Madison Memorial Terrace to get the best view of the lake, especially on a sunny day. Don't be afraid to jump in!
