This was a great spot to enjoy the lake side and appreciate the canal and locks which join Lake Mendota with Lake Monona across this isthmus. The park has paths for walking, biking and blading.

The creative play could last all day if you have the time. There's everything from water play (you'll probably get wet!), climbing, interactive play zones of so many themes, art and even small live animals! Even as an adult, it never got boring. My 2.5yo daughter and her friends just couldn't get enough of it. Lots of opportunities for kids to learn while playing. The staff are incredibly friendly and I believe all, if not most, are volunteers. There's a pay-what-you-can food area, which is so thoughtful. Very bright interior with plenty of natural light. Clean and updated play spaces for such a big facility to keep up with! Very clean restrooms. Small area for parents who have babies to sit in to play while their older kids explore. We've been to other children's museums and this is one of my favorites. The cost for anyone over the age of 1yo is currently $18 each (or 10% online) but if you're planning on spending a day here, totally worth it. I do think it would be a little more reasonable for ages 1-8 to be a little less than a full adult ticket price but it is what it is. If you live within an hour or have a larger family, it's definitely worth it to get a season pass' some include guest passes for friends. It's a worthy investment or a great gift! There's nothing more heartwarming seeing your child smile nonstop and exploring while in a learning environment. Stop on by, you'll love it and sleep well afterwards! One staff member said they're expanding so we're looking forward to that in the future.

They have an awesome outdoor playground which is unique and our toddler loved it. Indoors, there's a great play space for kids under 5 so the smaller kids can enjoy an area without being totally run over by big kids. It's pricey, for a family of 4 (we had to pay for our 15 month old, it's only free for 12 mos and under) it was about $80. With that, if you're going to spend the money, make it worth your while on the time commitment there. Lastly, the staff was very friendly and attentive which was a plus.

Burrows Park is a hidden small park from the street view but truly an amazingly serene little park that is one of many tiny hidden treasures of Madison. Burrows Park overlooks the Mendota shores, has a large stone park shelter, small playground, & restrooms. It is also home to more than one sacred Native American Effigy mounds including an extremely large bird shaped Effigy mound. Many people go there to relax, meditate, and it is a very peaceful place with an amazing view of the sunset. You can feel a certain beautiful positive charged energy coming from that whole area. People often rent out the stone shelter which has picnic tables for company picnics, baby showers, family reunions, etc. It is very affordable to rent out and can hold many people. I love this wonderful park so much, this is where we had our wedding rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony!
