Madison
About 270,000 people.
Madison is the capital of Wisconsin and sits on a narrow strip of land between two shimmering lakes. It is home to a big university and a beautiful domed capitol building.
You can climb to the top of the State Capitol for a view, paddle a canoe on the lakes, visit the animals at the Henry Vilas Zoo for free, and enjoy the lively farmers market.

Lakes & Boating
With Lake Mendota and Lake Monona hugging the city, kids can swim, sail, and watch ducks glide by all summer long.

The Capitol & Downtown
The gleaming white Capitol sits at the heart of downtown, surrounded by shops, ice cream stands, and a buzzing outdoor market on Saturdays.
