2012 Madison Favorites: Kids Stuff

So you have kids. Now what? In Madison, you're not reduced to just taking the rugrats to Chuck E. Cheese. Madison is totally age-challenged-friendly. Head to the Madison Children's Museum, which adults love just as much as the kids do. Or take them to the Dane County Farmers' Market, the Mustard Museum or Ride the Drive, none of which are child-only events. Ditto Ella's Deli, a vintage toy fantasyland disguised as an ice cream parlor with a lengthy menu. Or you can go to Chuck E. Cheese.
