What are three of most interesting cultural experiences for groups visiting Madison?
- Overture Center for the Arts: The story
of the Overture Center’s beginning is fascinating, and the building itself is magnificent. Architect Cesar Pelli’s ability to blend in the eclectic environment with the sophisticated vision of the founders is amazing. From the building’s stunning construction and cosmetic materials to the design of the various spaces, visitors will marvel at its beauty. And Overture’s calendar of performances—Broadway caliber to free local presentations—is always considered one of the most robust and extensive of its kind in the country.
- Madison Museums: In addition to the state of Wisconsin’s magnificent State Capitol building, the museums and cultural attractions in and around downtown offer visitors several days of exceptional experiences—almost all at little or no cost! And all appeal to a wide range of ages and interests. [Madison’s museums include the Wisconsin Historical Museum, Wisconsin Veterans Museum, Chazen Museum of Art, Madison Children’s Museum, Olbrich Botanical Gardens, and UW–Madison Geology Museum.]
- Fireside Dinner Theatre: One of our state’s treasures, the Fireside offers exceptional Broadway-caliber entertainment in an intimate and warm environment. In addition to their great performances, the food and gift shops provide the visitor an incredible experience. It’s a great spot for families, couples and groups.
