This is a great park for enjoying a warm summer day or tailgating prior to a Badger Football game…read more There is a backstop and small baseball/softball area, plenty of green space, a playground for the little ones, a basketball court, and a sand volleyball court with an above average quality net. On warm days, one can always hear people playing baskbetball and volleyball. There are brick ledges with brick floors on two corners of the park which are perfect for adding extra seating or places to put food and other items while tailgating. The whole park is filled with tailgaters prior to Badger Football games. This is one of only a couple Madison parks that allow alcoholic beverages. You just can't have glass containers!

But be careful of the turf, you could slip and twist an ankle! The park has been a cultural icon for both elementary school kids and college students, who throw keggers on the grass and then ride those kegs down the slides. picture attached. Also, the original name of the park is Milton Street Playground!

Turners is great all around! I've attended my sister's…read morewedding reception and A bat mitzvah. The setting was perfect for both events and staff is always very helpful! I've had my daughters birthday party in the gymnastics area and she loved it! We also come occasionally for open gym to get some energy out and my kids always have a good time! It's a safe and clean environment. Staff are constantly cleaning. They have a great recreational and team program. I tried having my kids try gymnastics locally at several gyms and I wasn't impressed. I noticed they would go up to 16 kids in a class or had instructors that didn't look like they had much training at all. The class sizes are much smaller at Madison Turners . The staff all seem to be very knowledgeable and my children are getting more attention and learning so much more. It's worth the hour drive one way for the quality instruction that my children are receiving!

I'm here for volleyball and I can't imagine coming here for anything else…read more The first section when you walk in is a gymnastic/tumbling floor for the other organization that runs it. So immediately the smell of feet and sweat permeate throughout the place. There are chairs upstairs to observe and cubbies to store your belongings. Everything is dated here, the paint needs work, the chairs are stained and a shade or two darker than their original color, the restroom facilities is a joke. The toilet tank lid isn't even the original, and is cut to modify for the fit. There are only 3 stalls and the stalls are tiny with faulty doors. There is a changing area in the bathroom that doubles as storage. I can't imagine anyone renting this place out for a banquet, it's not pretty. That being said, the courts are pretty decent for volleyball with regulation height nets.

Was very busy for a Monday night at 6pm. My group was the last to get a lane before a wait for a…read morelane started. The lanes were average, a little close together if anything. The bowling kiosk had a lot of games on it to change up the bowling experience. The venue has a restaurant and a full bar. The bartender wasn't the nicest. My friend tried to get her attention that the water ran out and she didn't give him the time of day. I ordered a beer during happy hour but didn't get the 1$ off for the happy hour. When our groups time was up, the employees were very fast in turning over the lane for the next group. Overall, mixed experience but would probably come back.

We noticed they also offer food (though we didn't try it), and this will be such a great option as the weather gets colder or on rainy days. We'll definitely be back!

We came on a Friday morning at 930. It was not very busy when we got there (less than 10 other…read morekids), but was crazy when we left (20+ kids). Overall this is a great space to get energy out. My kids loved the basketball games, the climbing gym, car/gas station area and the big pillow to bounce on. When we first got there things were very manageable. A few kids not being watched by parents. Before we left there were many more kids which made it challenging to stay on the equipment with my 2 year old. Overall a fun space! It can feel very small when the place gets busy, but a great place to get energy out.

Absolutely a blast!…read more My wife and I went to celebrate our birthdays and it was fun and relaxing. It was our first time and the staff were fun and super helpful. The curds were good. Nice canned beer selection. Definitely will be coming back.

I had such a great experience here with coworkers for our coworkers sendoff. We went on a week day…read moreand it wasn't busy, which was honestly really nice. The instructors/bar tenders helped me go from being a horrible axe thrower to successfully nailing the throw. It was nice to not just struggle through it like I have at other places. It was reasonable based on my previous experiences at other axe throwing bars. This place tops those however with EVEN MORE games in the "backyard". We loved playing hammerschlagen and other table top games while we waiting for our other party member to show up. They have some food options and you can even bring in other food if you wish. The bar menu was awesome and I loved the mystery can option for 4 bucks. I plan to go back and check out some of their other events they have. It seems like a great place to hang out after work.

We had talked…read moreabout going with friends so we finally purchased some tickets online and made our way to the Alliant Energy Center. The parking lot was quite full due to a big event in the exhibition hall but at least there was no charge for parking. After finally figuring out where this event was being held we made our way into the bleachers (I know why people brought their own chairs). Not being fans it took us awhile to figure out the flow of the match and some of the rules (thanks to nearby fans who filled in the blanks). Unfortunately the PA system was so poor it was almost impossible to follow any helpful information they might have been announcing. The match last almost two hours which was pretty long and a bit repetitive- one half would have been enough. Some good action at times but a bit slow. Interesting enough to go once but I won't be rushing back.
