Zoo Fun

When visiting the city, one of the best places that residents, visitors and children like to visit is the Henry Vilas Zoo. This special zoo has been in existence for more than 100 years. Children love to spend hours at the zoo as they learn about new animals and see familiar ones, such as lions, polar bears, toucans and so much more. The zoo continues to add exhibits and various enhancements in order to give each individual an experience he or she will never forget. There are times where people, especially children, can pet certain animals or animal cubs during specific times. Knowledgeable members on staff enable people to see and experience real animals in a controlled environment. While this zoo is certainly unforgettable, it is good to know that it is a free zoo. Of course, you are welcome to make a donation if you want. However, it is not mandatory to give something in order to visit one of the best zoos of the area.

Gardens Outside and In

While many homeowners have a garden they like, a great place to see many plants and landscaping is by going to the Olbrich Botanical Gardens. With 16 acres on campus, you are welcome to explore and view flowers, plants and landscaping that is truly inspiring. Paths in this garden are clearly marked, and people find that helpful signs enable them to identify specific plants and shrubs. It is not a surprise that a number of people have marriage celebrations and other events at the gardens. When visiting, do not forget to visit the Bolz Conservatory that features birds, flowers and numerous plants. Children like to exert energy as they look at the flowers and run up and down the paths. Chairs and benches enable people to take in nature while relaxing.

The State Capitol

One of the many benefits of visiting Madison is that it features the State Capitol building. You are invited to go to this amazing work of architecture and be astounded at what you see. Be amazed at the dome, which is made of granite and is the only one found in the United States. Go on a guided tour to learn more about this unique building as well as Wisconsin politics. Some people like to see the glass mosaics that can feature people or landscapes. Other people like to view the more than 40 different types of stone that is inside the building. Still others like to experience walking around and viewing furniture that has been carved by hand. Bring your camera and take some pictures from the observation deck that surrounds the dome.

 

History of Veterans

The history of America is certainly important for everyone to know. To some, personal stories can be overlooked because of looking at various events as a whole. Fortunately, the Wisconsin Veterans Museum is a place that features specific stories from veterans of Wisconsin. There are a number of displays as well as exhibits that describe in detail the life and times of veterans. Some of the stories feature individuals who served during the Civil War. Other stories feature people who served in World War II or the Vietnam War. Although each story is different, this museum captures the essence of what it is to have served the United States. A gift shop features numerous types of products that include books, collectibles and games. Members on staff at this museum are quite helpful and very informative.

The city of Madison is certainly an interesting community that has events, activities and places to experience. The locals are quite proud of their community, and they would love to see you stop by for a while. Whether you decide to visit the historic State Capitol building to spend time with the polar bears at the Henry Vilas Zoo, everyone has activities that will leave them feeling content and satisfied. Therefore, come and visit Madison when it is time to experience life.
