Suggestions for Museum near Madison

Darren P. • February 26, 2012Amazing fun for the kids. Worth every penny of the membership!

Le Anne d. • July 12, 2013Good drive for parents trying to get kids to sleep. Also our 3 year old loves the trees.

Jenny M. • March 26, 2013I can't believe my daughter went to school for 4 years here and we've never visited. We were looking for free stuff to do in Madison and this was a treat! Something different than shopping for sure!

Corinne • May 10, 2015Awesome view of the Capitol and Square on the 4th floor

Shaleigh S. • April 18, 2013A beautifully laid out and crafted museum. The mannequins are incredibly life-like, the murals are simply stunning, and the array of war memorabilia is vast. Definitely worth a visit!

Kevin Reichard • July 22, 2011The fossil crab is unexpectedly cool.

NASA • January 11, 2011OAO launched in 1968 on an Atlas-Centaur rocket & was in operation until 1973. Partially built here at UW, it was the 1st observatory in space & remains in orbit. The full flight backup is on display.

Steve S. • February 23, 2012Tierra y Libertad, is a great exhibition, terrific prints, showing how dynamic the art scene in Mexico City was in the first part of the 20th century

UW-Madison • December 4, 2010A one stop shop for Wisconsin history. It's also become a great place to study or read with lots of tables and comfy couches; yeah, there's access to the UW-Madison network.

Yoli Z. • March 4, 2017The planetarium fits up to 60 people at a time. They have really cool educational sessions including Spanish only events as well. Very neat.
