There's only so many art museums a five-year-old can take. When it's time to let the kids run loose, it's time for Madison's family-friendly attractions. But it's not all playgrounds and jungle gyms; these attractions are truly fun for the whole family. You might just reconnect with your own inner child - or at least the spirit of your youth.
Wintertime in Madison doesn't have to translate to spending all of your time indoors. Make it fun by hitting Tyrol Basin or Cascade Mountain for some fun in the snow.
During the warmer weather consider renting a boat from Wingra Boats, heading over to Noah's Ark Waterpark, camping at Blue Mounds State Park, or visiting Henry Vilas Zoo, one of a handful of free public zoos in the country.
Anytime of year is a good time to visit the Cave of the Mounds, Madison's Children's Museum, the Mid-Continent Railway Museum, or tour the State Capitol.
