"Wisconsin State Capitol was built with over 40 different marble styles, beautiful art throughout, and interiors illuminated by natural light. This distinction has been preserved by legislation prohibiting buildings taller than the dome's columns. The Capitol houses both chambers of the Wisconsin legislature and the Wisconsin Supreme Court, as well as the Governor's Office. The building has impressive collections and colossal marble columns. The exclusive textures of hand-carved furniture and beautiful glass mosaics are presented in the building. The Wisconsin State Capitol offers tours, except on the following holidays: New Year's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas. On Saturday mornings, tourists can enjoy the concert in Capitol Square and the farmer's market around the Capitol.

2026 Highlights: Wisconsin State Capitol offers daily free tours with wheelchair-accessible entrances located between the wings of the Capitol."

WISCONSIN STATE CAPITOL REVIEWS

Absolutely gorgeous capital building with a lot of history. I really like how this is the central focal point of Madison. Truly makes you feel like you’re in an energetic capital city compared to other states where the capitol building isn’t as prominent in the skyline or as easy to locate. Entrance is free to the public, or at least was when I came on a weekend. You can walk right into the rotunda which is very breathtaking. Restrooms are only accessible on the ground floor it seems. I believe there’s free tours higher up in the building, so if you’re here for a decent amount of time I’d ask someone about that. Only negative I experienced here was parking. I came early in the morning and found a spot easily, but whenever there’s huge events downtown, parking seems to be a total disaster here due to how compact the city is. Some parking garages can be a hassle to find a spot in, so I’d definitely budget some extra time to account for this.

Beautiful building. Accessible entrances are limited, so be prepared to circumnavigate the building to find one. There is limited signage to direct you, and it's small and cursory. You can walk around inside on your own or join a free hourly tour. The tour provides some interesting facts with opportunities to ask questions. If you can handle the steps, the observation deck around the base of the dome is spacious and safe, but found the view unexciting as surrounding buildings obscure full view of the lakes. On-street public parking is limited, but there is reasonably priced municipal garage parking nearby (we paid $3.75 for 2+ hours). As capitols go, this one is architecturally stunning with beautiful interior appointments and design. Worth a visit if you're in the region.

This place is completely FREE to visit, offering FREE tours as well!. It has several hidden gems that not many know about ( an observation deck outside the building as well as INSIDE) a mini museum and so much more!. Overall you don’t want to miss this amazing historical landmark.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN GEOLOGY MUSEUM REVIEWS

The Geology museum is a small but lovely free exhibit that is self guided. They have more than just rocks to offer and also have exhibits displaying fossils, I would say you could expect to spend an hour or two going through the exhibit at most. Parking is hard due to it being on campus and downtown. 2 hour parking is available but difficult to find. Bathrooms are near the entrance, the men’s is on one side and the women’s on another. The giftshop is a small stand at the beginning that has a variety of geodes and rocks available to be purchased with CASH and CHECK only!! Do not find this out the hard way, there is not an ATM available to be used within the building, you will have to go to the offices within the exhibit near the entrance, down the small side hallway in order to have a staff member open the giftshop for you and collect your payment.

Kinda hard to find parking because it is downtown on the campus area but once you get there it's worth it. The museum is on the 1st floor, they have a big globe right in the atrium area then you follow show cases of different types of rocks and actual meteorites and crystals and all things rock related. Then as you get through further you get to the end and there's full size mastodon and dinosaur Skeltons and skulls. The best part is it's free.

Its on the smaller side of things. We spent almost as much time trying to park as we did going though the museum. That being said there is still ALOT to see in here! The black light room was amazing (use your phone so see them glow even more) Bones, rocks, fossils, little of everything.

CAMP RANDALL STADIUM REVIEWS

On Wisconsin! Jump Around! Home of the University of Wisconsin Badgers! Camp Randall Stadium is a great place to watch NCAA football with great views no matter where you sit! Loud, rowdy and full of energy, the Wisconsin faithful bring it every Saturday! Come do the Jump Around and enjoy a football game at Camp Randall Stadium.

It’s a unique experience- they close the streets off and so once you park it’s easy to walk to. Inside on the concourses is probably the most narrow walkways I’ve ever experienced- so if you get worried in crowds just expect that it’ll be really crowded at times. Seating is bench for the most part. It’s a cool place though.

I love Camp Randall! I work in the food service industry and the University is one of our clients. Hoping for a great Football Volleyball for the Badgers this fall. Come on out and root them on.
