Enjoy an outdoor shopping experience of chic boutiques and comfy favorites! This shopping center is located right across the street from the reception venue. Featured shops include World Market, DSW, Chicos, Marshalls, Bath and Body Works, and more! Delicious restaurants include Ancho and Agave, Fuji, and Freska.

One of our favorite Indian restaurants in the area! We'd recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala or Paneer Masala if you haven't had Indian food before!

Another board game staple in the area that the couple loves to wander around.

The name says it all! The National Mustard Museum celebrates the savory history of mustard, with an overstocked selling floor on top. Try delicious samples and get all your mustard swag you can ask for!

A favorite hangout spot for the couple and their theatre friends after rehearsal over in Middleton throughout various shows! The drinks are cheap, yet strong! The jalapeño curds are also delicious!

Highly dependent on how the weather is, Pheasant Branch Conservancy has a long system of trails throughout Middleton. Nice place to get away for some air!

Madison's zoo is rather small, but it's also free!

Hilldale is a more upscale shopping center in the area, featuring Macy's, Lululemon, Lush, Sur La Table, and of course a Target. There are also a lot of good restaurants in there, so would be a good place to grab a beer between the ceremony and reception! Check out Cafe Hollander or The Great Dane!

Chocolate Shoppe has a sign telling you that if you want to know what the calories are, go eat some carrots instead! Their ice cream is rich and decadent.

Not your typical office park. Epic has all of their buildings themed, and it makes it a very eclectic place to visit. From one part of campus themed after the wizarding world to another themed after storybooks, there is plenty to see. There's a giant rocking horse, an oversized banana on a spring, 2 slides, a 11,500 seat auditorium, and so much more to see! Open for self-guided tours on the weekend, which makes an enjoyable (and exhausting) visit. Patrick's office is in the Jules Verne office building, so go looking for the giant kraken attacking the sub out front of the building as well as the central staircase! The video linked as the website gives an overview of the campus.

Every month, Hodge Podge has a specialty latte flight with 4 flavors. Also a good selection of cocktails and mocktails.

A large board game distributor. Always a good time wandering their store and finding new games!

Much of Tyler's family have worked here over the years. They have a beautiful area to stop and get a beer.
