Top Wisconsin Nature Walks in 2026

Celebrate the season on the Madison Holiday Sweet Treats and Walking Tour, a fun, family-friendly walk through festive downtown Madison. We start at Lucille on King Street, decked out with its holiday bar, for fun seasonal treats. Then we step inside the Wisconsin State Capitol to see the official Capitol Christmas tree in the Rotunda, a tradition since 1916, sparkling with thousands of lights and ornaments made by Wisconsin students. From there we stroll lively State Street past the Overture Center for a crepe or waffle at Ellipse Coffee and Crepes, chewy mochi donuts at TeaMoji, and warm Greek donuts (loukoumades) at Parthenon Gyros to finish. Along the way, your guide shares stories about Madison's history, culture and food scene. Whether you're visiting for the holidays or celebrating at home, it's the sweetest way to get into the holiday spirit. Available late November through December.
