Olbrich Botanical Gardens, located along the riverfront, are free to visit and look best in spring and summer. The Wisconsin State Capitol is one of Madison’s prominent attractions – a majestic building with murals and ornate interior.
While we love the vibrant lakeside city of Milwaukee more than Madison, the state capital does have its own charms. The park looks beautiful in fall when the trees are yellow-red and the hiking trails shine with dewy, orange leaves. Visitors can launch their watercrafts from the ramps and cool off in the lakes. The state park has mountain biking and horse riding trails it also encompasses two lakes with beach areas for recreation. It is perfect to stop and stretch your legs for an hour or so, it is also great to stay longer, hike, and camp for the night. Located adjacent to the Interstate 90, Rock Cut State Park is a great stopover on the way to Minneapolis from Chicago. The city just comes alive in the summer and colorful tulips pop up everywhere while patios are filled with music and cheerful people. We also love going to the Lincoln Park Zoo and seeing the beautiful artwork at the Art Institute of Chicago.Īnd of course, no visit is complete without seeing the beautiful downtown from above, whether it is from one of the many rooftop bars or from the Willis Tower. Some of the must-see things in Chicago include the Bean at Millenium Park, Buckingham Fountain at Grant Park (if it’s open), the Museum Campus, shopping at Magnificent Mile, and taking a cruise from Navy Pier in the summer.

You can easily drive it in a day and spend the night in Minneapolis, leaving aside the next day to see the city. The distance from Chicago to Minneapolis is about 7 hrs on the I90/I94. If you don’t want to see Minneapolis, you can continue straight on the I-90 from Chicago however the little detour makes a great pitstop – to soak in the city that sprung up on the Mississippi and its brilliant cuisine and attractions. We had been to Minneapolis at the start of summer and then again as a part of our Midwestern Winter Road Trip. We covered this stretch in one go and didn’t stop at the attractions – the main reason being that we had done it twice before! Bonus!
