“Colloquially known as "the union"”
The Memorial Union, known locally as simply "the Union", is located on the shore of Lake Mendota on the campus of the University of Wisconsin–Madison in Madison, Wisconsin. On the lakeshore to the north of the building is the Terrace, a highly popular outdoor space. Outside the main building is the Memorial Union Terrace, a stone outdoor dining and recreation area on the shore of Lake Mendota. The Terrace was designed by Peabody's daughter, Charlotte. It is a popular spot for socializing among students and locals with the backdrop of the beautiful lake, sailboats in view, and with the sound of live music, usually free to the public (paid by student fees) in the evening.
Very cool place for all ages! A great place to spend time outside with your family and friends.
This place is truly special. In the summer everyone (all ages, seriously!) comes here to play cards, picnic and sometimes grab a pint. Right on the lakefront this place is literally buzzing with good vibes.
