Bathroom was clean. They have a huge variety of stuff here. There are large sections for gifts/apparel for the Green Bay Packers, Wisconsin Badgers, a little bit of Chicago Bears, and local goods (jams, cheeses, and such). There is a HUGE fireworks section. They typically run deals on the fireworks (buy $100 of fireworks, get a free fidget spinner) so watch out for those.

I was in the area picking something up and decided to take a short walk through this park. My…read morenephews and I used to come here in Spring when everything was still covered in snow, and in winter, the park is popular for cross-country skiing, so I'm quite familiar with it. I've also attended a foraging class here through the Madison Public Library, which was a great experience. The trails are easy to walk, but keep an eye out for black walnuts that ripen and drop onto the ground--you could easily step on one and twist an ankle (as I unfortunately did). Along the way, you might spot squirrels and hear birds singing in the bushes. I even came across some mushrooms, which reminded me of the foraging class. There's a restroom facility and a pond nearby, and in winter, local families love coming here for sledding on hill. I've done it myself--it's a lot of fun, just make sure to protect your back on the way down! Don't say I didn't warn you!

I went recently to try out the ice skating and had a blast. It cost 6$ to rent ice skates and you…read morecould skate for as long as you want until the rental place closed. If you have your own skates you can skate for as long as you want. They have 2 rinks, one for regular ice skating and the other for hockey. They have the green assistance rollators, for when you need assistance ice skating, that are useful. The ice was chipped in some areas, but overall good quality. There is a huge hill close by that looks like it can be sledded when there's more snow.

I learned that the business started out as a garage sale, and some of the rooms do seem rummage sale/flea market-esque. We'd actually driven by once before but they were closed then. There was a fair amount of fireworks for sale, but what stands out when you arrive is the metal lawn art and concrete statuary. I had a fun time walking through looking at all of it (with some yard birds accompanying me), although some of it did seem fairly old. Mr. R found some cheap records inside and it was a good place to get out and stretch our legs.
