The terrace is great for a pitcher of spotted cow, brats, and babcock ice cream from the daily scoop. Try the orange chocolate chip, it's the best!

It's estimated that 18,000 people pass through the doors each day. Memorial Union still lives up to it's nickname from 1928 as the "living room for campus."
