Enjoy a great variety of Madison Wisconsin Attractions

Enjoy a trip to this “hamlet” of over 200,000 people just 2 1/2 hours north of Chicago and you’ll be surprised to find out that there are a host of activities for everyone - whether you’re a family-group or a business traveler.
The Henry Vilas Zoo is a great stop for young and old. They started as a family operation in 1911 and still runs today on the premise that the zoo should be accessible to everyone - regardless of income or status. Therefore, keeping with an almost 100 year tradition, Zoo admission is completely free - that’s right FREE. What a great way to spend the day enjoying the spring sun or fall colors.
