Explore the State Capitol
There’s no better time to visit Madison than when all of the hustle and bustle of the campus town lulls during spring break. If you’ve yet to experience the grandeur of the Wisconsin State Capitol, be sure to check it out during visiting hours or even book a guided tour for some insider information. Afterwards, the surrounding downtown extending through State Street is home to an abundance of adorable shops that are the best for springtime shopping. Plus, plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants make for the most delicious pit stops for some sips and snacks along the way. Additionally, nearby attractions like the Henry Vilas Zoo and the Chazen Museum of Art are more fascinating ways to make the most of your time in Madison. But don’t forget to swing by Picnic Point to get the absolute best view of Lake Mendota.
