THE HOUSE ON THE ROCK
Walk through Alex Jordan’s dreams as you tour The House on the Rock, a Wisconsin-made attraction. This interactive architectural wonder is a sight to behold, full of the sights and sounds that the artist so loved. The world’s largest carousel amazes with 269 handcrafted animals and too many lights to count. A huge boat swallows a 200-foot sea creature in a reverse Jonah and the whale scene. An enormous canon seems ironic next to hundreds of dressed-up dolls. There’s even a million-piece miniature orchestra. Even though the Infinity Room, which mimics walking on clouds in the air, is possible to leave, the memories of this curious attraction will stay with you indefinitely.

NAU-TI-GAL
Casual waterfront dining is always fun, and by now, Nau-Ti-Gal is the expert. Since 1982, it’s been serving up seafood dishes in view of the beautiful Lake Mendota. It has one of the best brunches in Madison and live music on a weekly basis.
For dinner, appetizers aren’t the typical fare. Try Shark Bites or Wisconsin White Cheddar Cheese Curds. There is a long menu of sandwiches, burgers and salads. Doesn’t a Cajun Grouper Caesar Salad and a Tex-Mex Panini sound delicious? Inland dinners such as Tortelloni Prima Vera and sea dinners such as Wisconsin Fish Fry are tasty options. Just save room for peanut butter pie.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN BADGERS
We understand if becoming a Packers cheesehead and donning one of those ridiculous hats sounds unattractive to you, but if you just need your fix of live sports, try routing for the Badgers for a day. UW-Madison has 11 men’s and 11 women’s varsity sports teams to choose from. There’s the obvious basketball, football and hockey, as well as wrestling, rowing, tennis, diving and volleyball. Check out the university’s website for sporting events schedules. You never know – they could be playing your Alma matter while you’re in town!

FROMAGINATION
Fromagination is a cozy shop with bold tastes. It sells artisanal cheeses and whatever is paired with them best: Wines, breads, crackers, dried fruits and chocolates all perfect the cheese’s taste. You won’t find cheese wrapped in unbreakable plastic wrap here. Cheese is sold like it’s supposed to be, from the block or wheel. Tastings are encouraged, but you’ll have to wait and let the sample adjust to the room temperature before indulging.

WISCONSIN STATE CAPITOL
Schedule a tour of the Wisconsin State Capitol, where major political decisions are made for residents of The Dairy State. The governor, Wisconsin Supreme Court and state legislature work here, and the surrounding streets are full of restaurants and shops. It proudly holds up the largest granite dome in the world, and its interior rotunda is made from marble imported from Italy, France, Algeria and Greece. Its ornate decorations and exterior stone work make it a worthwhile architectural and artsy destination, in addition to a political and educational place for the family to visit.

LAKE MENDOTA
Lake Mendota has the privilege of being the largest of Madison’s four lakes. In many ways, this lake defines the isthmus that the city was built upon. The University of Wisonsin-Madison borders its southern shore, and the Wisconsin State Capitol building is not far away. It’s lined with an array of colors in the autumn, and water sports abound. In winter, you can ice skate, ice boat, cross country ski, play ice hockey or go snowkiting. In summer the common activities of canoeing, boating, wakeboarding, fishing, waterskiing, kayaking, sailing and windsurfing can be enjoyed.

This is my first experience with your travel agency. The hotel where I stayed in New Orleans Hotel 504 was excellent. I was told it was by the booking agent and she was exactly right. The staff and the concierge was superb. I will recommend family and friends to your agency and to stay at that hotel if they go to New Orleans if possible. I am looking forward to booking another trip with you.
