“Step right up!” to an experience in and around Madison, Wisconsin. You are sure to be entertained as we head north with our first stop at the National Mustard Museum, yes, that’s correct, a museum that is home to the world’s largest collection of mustards and mustard memorabilia! Founded by Barry Levenson, The Mustard Museum has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, the popular game shows Jeopardy!, To Tell the Truth, and You Bet Your Life with Jay Leno and is one of the most popular destinations in Wisconsin. You will both learn and taste while we are there. Hundreds of different types of mustards are available for purchase, along with several kinds you can sample. Next, we will travel to Paoli, Wisconsin which has been featured in Midwest Living Magazine and is known for its Hallmark-esque vibe for dinner at Seven Acre Dairy. Nestled on the banks of the Sugar River and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Seven Acre Dairy Company is a lovingly restored dairy factory reimagined as a one-of-a-kind place to dine, stay, and celebrate. Enjoy an included dinner before we make our way to the Overture Center in Madison for the Broadway musical Water for Elephants - the stunning stage adaptation of Sara Gruen’s bestselling novel. Hailed by The New York Times as “gorgeously imaginative,” this production blends breathtaking circus artistry including large-scale puppet animals, acrobats and aerialists, with heartfelt storytelling. The musical follows a young man who, after losing everything, leaps aboard a moving circus train and discovers a new home, unexpected love, and a life beyond his wildest dreams. Seen through the eyes of his older self, the story becomes a moving reminder that when you choose the ride, life can begin again at any age. Step right up to the “spellbinding entertainment” of Water for Elephants, celebrated as “the best new musical on Broadway.”
