Great spot for outdoor drinks and chatter. Pretty sure there were several app centric dates happening, which was a good call. Several people had carry in food, so Im assuming they allow it, but they also sell some snack stuff.

I love coming in different seasons as they always do a wonderful job. This fall it looks like they opened edid a section of the park and its quite beautiful. During winter I like going to their indoor exhibit, the warm air and smell of plants really can boost your mood.

Very beautiful and naturalistic. Nature should be pushed more into todays society. We need more natural Earth in our lives. Thank you for providing just that.

Olbrich Park is right next to the lake. It is spacious enough if you are concerned about social distancing. We frequent the park to play frisbee, relax and go to the wonderful outdoor beer garden.

Loved the biergarten, the capitol reflected in the lake, the balmy lake breeze and the blood red moon hung in the sky specially for late summer ambience.

We had a fun time at this little biergarden in Madison. There are a bunch of picnic tables, a few games to play (a big Jenga set, some sandy volleyball courts nearby) and even a small beach to hang out on. The day we visited was a bit overcast and drizzly but we still had a good time. As the evening got later, the small hanging lights in the area came on and created a sweet atmosphere. They had a number of beers to choose from and even came in a reusable plastic mug. Though the area is small its worth checking out because it has great views of the lake and easy parking.

Nice park on the lake with a beach, multiple boat launches, and canoe/kayak rentals. Lots of space so pretty spread out along Atwood. The beer garden was a good place to hang out. Botanical gardens looked nice.

Its a nice park by the lake. There were a few grass bands playing while we were there. Fair warning, this place is popular and if you want to order a beer you may find yourself waiting for a while.

Launched onto Lake Monona from Olbrich Park boat landing. There were a lot of weeds around the dock that get pulled out of the water by the trailer. This led to a lot of cleaning.
