💙 FUN THINGS to do this FATHER’S DAY weekend in and around Madison, WI 💙
If you’re looking for something fun to do with the DAD in your life this weekend, there is no shortage of fun options. Here are a few ideas in and around Madison:
1. Picnic Point
Pack some snacks, wear solid footwear and bring a blanket to sit on and hike out to the iconic Picnic Point. A popular, nearly mile-long peninsula on Lake Mendota in Madison, Wisconsin, known for its scenic views, trails, and natural beauty, making it a favorite spot for walking, birdwatching, and picnicking. Part of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Lakeshore Nature Preserve, it offers a quick escape from city life with easy, relatively flat trails, fire pits for rent, and opportunities to see wildlife, all while providing a classic view of the city skyline across the lake. https://lakeshorepreserve.wisc.edu/visit/places/picnic-point/
2. Parade of Homes
Madison Parade of Homes is an event, hosted by the Madison Area Builders Association, showcasing newly constructed homes built by local home builders and located throughout the capital region. In its simplest terms, the Parade of Homes is a coordinated event of Open Houses for newly constructed homes that would normally not be available to be seen. They provide the newest trends and technology from the area’s top builders and trade partners. You can purchase tickets online at https://www.madisonparadeofhomes.com
