Spending a week in Madison, Wi. What are the best things to do and eat in the city?

Spring Green, WI
Visit

I can’t even explain the magic of this place, but when I lived in Chicago I would drive to Madison at least once a year to visit The House on the Rock.

“Some people find this place tacky and/or creepy, but I’m of the “ooh ahh” camp that finds immense pleasure in the wonder of human whim. The actual “house” is dreamy, but it’s the meandering halls and football field-sized dioramas that are the most compelling. Why build it? Why not build it?”
