CAMPUS AND VISITOR RELATIONS
Visitor Guide & Map
On behalf of the entire University of Wisconsin–
Madison community, thank you for choosing to visit our bustling and beautiful campus. We hope you have a great time while you are here and will carry fond memories with you when you depart.
Everyone should be able to find something here to enjoy. Your explorations might range from nanoscale engineering to the wonders of the universe. Our the-aters and galleries showcase the finest in fine arts. You can cheer on our student athletes or take in a sunset along the lakeshore. High-tech labs, peaceful gardens and historic landmarks add to UW–Madison’s unique character, which I’m confident you will find appealing.
There are thousands of Badgers studying, teaching and providing vital services to enable us to fulfill our mission of education, research and service. While this guide will help you choose the memorable places you’ll visit, we hope the people here leave you with an equally lasting impression.
On, Wisconsin!

MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR VISIT
UW–Madison is known as a place where the best minds
come to study, teach, examine and discover. But we’re not all work and no play. From exploring natural, historic, and architectural marvels to attending a riveting arts performance or athletic event, UW–Madison offers plentiful activities to enjoy year-round.
This guide will start you on your way, whether you are here for an hour, a day, or longer. The map in the center of this guide lists the buildings
and destinations referenced in the guide. The letter and number key list-ed for each building will help you find them. Weekend hours may vary for some sites; please call ahead to verify.
This guide can’t list everything, so for advice, answers and tips from campus insiders, contact Campus and Visitor Relations. Cheerful students will provide the information you need to make the most of your time here.

Memorial Union, located on Lake Mendota, is where people meet, eat, hear music and just chill. The Terrace is one of Madison’s most popular gather-ing spots. 265–3000, union.wisc.edu.
Union South features great places to eat, as well as spaces to relax, see a movie, hear bands, and bowl. The Badger Bash prior to every home football game is also hosted here. 890–3000, union.wisc.edu.
Camp Randall Stadium comes alive on football Saturdays when 80,321 fans cheer on the Badgers. Visit the UW Athletics Welcome Center for great moments in Badger history or stroll the Wisconsin Athletics Hall of Fame next door.

Can’t decide what to do first? The following are some favorites.
Babcock Hall Dairy Store offers roughly 15 flavors of Babcock Ice Cream for sundaes, shakes and ice cream cones. 262–3045, babcockhalldairystore.wisc.edu.
The Geology Museum is a must, especially if you have children to amuse. Dinosaurs and displays will thrill them; adults will learn there, too. Find it inside Weeks Hall. 262–2399, geoscience.wisc.edu.
Chazen Museum of Art exhibits treasures from antiquities to the Renaissance to the modern. The exhibits rotate frequently and admis-sion is free. Drop-in and arranged tours are available. Closed Mondays. 263–2246, chazen.wisc.edu.
The UW–Madison Arboretum is just a few miles south of campus in the heart of the city, but its 1,260 acres take visitors to the wild side. Gardens, prairies, woods and miles of trails will make you forget the city’s bustle. 263–7888, uwarboretum.org.

Insider’s TipBe sure to plan time to take in a sunset over Lake Mendota from the Memorial Union Terrace.

LANDMARKS
Bascom Hill Historic District has some of the old-est buildings on campus. Civil War soldiers once drilled here, and maypole celebrations, parades, gatherings, demonstrations and romantic meetings have all taken place on the hill. As you visit, imagine the thousands of scholars that have walked the hill and buildings before you. Check out 12 plaques that describe the area’s history or schedule a tour*, 265–9500.
The Lincoln Statue has a place of honor on Bascom Hill because President Lincoln signed the Morrill Act in 1862, which designated the university as a land-grant institution. The bronze statue is the only replica of an original cast for Lincoln’s Kentucky birthplace.
The Red Gym (Armory and Gymnasium) was built in 1894 as a militia training and student recreation center. Lovingly restored and renovated, it is now a National Historic Landmark and houses student services. Visit on your own or with a guide*, 265–9500.
The Dairy Barn, Science Hall and North Hall are also National Historic Landmarks.

SCIENCE AND DISCOVERY
At the Geology Museum, you can touch rocks from a time when there were volcanoes in Wisconsin, see sea creatures that used to live and swim where we now walk, and stand beneath the tusks of a mastodon. Find it inside Weeks Hall. 262–2399, geoscience.wisc.edu.
The Physics Museum inside Chamberlin Hall will engage your inner scientist. physics.wisc.edu.
The Washburn Observatory offers public observations on clear nights on the first and third Wednesdays of the month. Sessions begin at 9 p.m. April–October and at 7:30 p.m. November–March. 262–9274, www.astro.wisc.edu.
Stop into nearly any academic build-ing during the week and enjoy the displays, exhibits and galleries you’ll discover. For starters, try natural his-tory displays in Birge Hall (lobby) and Noland Hall (first floor), enormous African beetles and brilliant butter-flies in the Insect Research Displays in Russell Laboratories (3 north), cutaway engines in Mechanical Engineering (lobby), or ponder ‘400 million years ago’ in the ‘rockin’est’ courtyard in the country in Weeks Hall. Find more on your own almost anywhere on campus.
