The Dane County Farmer's Market is located downtown on the capital square on Saturday morning from 6 am - 2 pm. This is one of the nation's largest (and best) local farmer's markets that offers fresh produce, a variety of baked goods (Chris & Lori's Bakehouse is a must!), cheese (of course), and so much more!

Great local apple orchard that offers a variety of delicious, self-pick apples, homemade goodies, and fresh cider!

Beautiful crushed gravel trail that covers 52 miles across Southern Wisconsin. It is great for walking, running, and biking with a trailhead right in Cottage Grove located at 200 S Main St, Cottage Grove, WI 53527.

Wonderful, free zoo located right in the heart of downtown Madison!

If you have extra time and the weather is nice, look into taking a Betty Lou Cruise around Lake Mendota! This cruise offers a dive into the local lake life while giving you a one-of-a-kind tour of Madison accompanied by the cocktails of your choice.
