Memorial Union Terrace, Wisconsin, United States


5.0 (711 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Madison Points of Interest & Landmarks

Gorgeous!

The Memorial Union Terrace is one of the most unique things that sets the UW-Madison campus apart! The location and view right on Lake Mendota are unbeatable, you won't find anything just like it at any other campus. Even during the summer when most students are gone, there are a decent amount of the stations inside the union open (ice cream, brats, pub food, bars, + more). We sat on the terrace on a few occasions. During morning/breakfast hours it is peaceful and serene, and at night it is a fun atmosphere to hang with family + friends. Love how there are water activities available right next door. Highly recommend!

    Who'd a Thunk a Student Union would be so fun for EVERYONE!!!
    Wow, a colleague and I had heard a lot about this place while we were in town for a conference and decided to check it out. We had no idea it was actually the student union. Right on the lake, with restaurants galore, it was PACKED on a Wednesday night. Everyone was laughing, people were on the lake boating, and someone even started to sing at the stage they have available. We considered doing some paddle boarding, but the water was awful choppy. We walked around campus a bit, and headed back to the hotel. Great experience!!

    A MUST for any Madison visitors
    I have visited the Memorial Union Terrace many times and always experience something new and unique! They have many food options, including the BEST ice cream on campus. In the warmer months, you can sit out by the lake on the iconic patio chairs and enjoy some great food and drinks. Many nights they have live entertainment, too.
