Welcome to the UW–Madison Campus
From Bascom Hill to Picnic Point, we invite you to explore our campus, inside and out. Discover dinosaur bones and bug collections, art museums and athletic facilities. Tour our ice cream–making facility and enjoy a tasty treat. Let us know when you’re coming and we’ll plan the perfect visit for prospective students, for classrooms of any age, or for special group outings. As the front door to the university, we encourage the general public to contact us. Let us connect you to UW–Madison.
