Definitely check out the Terrace (behind Memorial Union), perhaps even walk along the Lakeshore Path and/or Observatory Drive (for the magnificent view of lake Mendota). The new Union South and the Institutes for Discovery will likely be part of your tour. Visit the University Bookstore and Library Mall. Walk along State Street up to the Capitol (and definitely go inside the Capitol to look at the rotunda ceiling – even the Capitol tour is worthwhile). If you have time on Saturday morning, go to the Dane County Farmer’s Market (located all around the Capitol). You might consider visiting a class in an area your interested in (if you can find one, perhaps late Friday morning).

Here’ is the Union schedule of events for Friday, April 27:
