Madison, Wisconsin is the second largest city in the state and serves as its capital. It's situated in a scenic region between Lake Mendota and Lake Monona, and is regularly rated as one of the top places in the nation to raise a family. Madison is known for its bustling art and music scene. It's known to be one of the major cultural hubs of the midwest and has a lively nightlife scene to boot.
Even though it's a fairly large city, it still manages to capture that small-town vibe, largely thanks to its condensed downtown area, large student population, and diversified neighborhoods. While you can find most of its art galleries, museums, and sciences centers downtown, other alluring attractions can be found in Madison's surrounding areas be it along the banks of those two lakes we just mentioned or on the campus of the University of Wisconsin.
Lovers of the great outdoors will definitely feel right at home when visiting Madison. Nature lovers shouldn't pass on the chance to check out the University of Wisconsin's Arboretum which is said to be one of the best of its kind in the country. And for travelers visiting with children, both the Madison Children's Museum and Henry Vilas Zoo are both absolute must-see destinations! Also, a visit to Madison wouldn't be complete without taking a stroll down State Street Madison's main thoroughfare. It's there where you'll find some of Madison's finest restaurants and cafes, as well as shops, boutiques, and galleries.

You definitely under sold state street. It's a roughly mile long pedestrian street that runs from the Capitol building to the UW Madison campus. It has tons of unique restaurants, bars, museums, shops, and theaters.

[@TheSecondAdam]

It's hardly a pedestrian street as they claim. Cars, trucks and buses go up and down and thru State Street.

[@D2theJ26]

@Richard and TheLionofJudah only buses are allowed on state street. Cars and trucks are prohibited

[@robertpreston2220]

they stole that idea from Chicago who closed off their world famous State Street in the 80s

[@user-en1ov4jr3w]

Not mentioned here: the lakes. Mendota, Monona, Wingra, Kegonsa, Waubesa, and the Yahara River and its lock system.
