Madison Children's Museum

The Madison Children’s Museum is one of those ideal children’s museums which not only shows exhibits of interest, but creates an interactive environment where children have actually have fun while the learn. In other words, a parent’s dream! There is an art studio where kids can try their hand at painting, an outdoor part where kids can play, a real-life log cabin where they can dress up and play at pioneers, a stunning rooftop garden complete with chickens and ponds, and a massive indoor area called the Widlernest where the little ones can do everything for get wet in a misty dome or cuddle up in a corner and read or nap. One of the best parts is that the museum isn't snooty and they really let kids be kids: there are places where they can paint on the walls or splash around in the water, for example.
