The Wizard will see you now! Get ready to defy gravity as we make our way to Madison, Wisconsin. It’s time to check out the “lions, tigers and bears, oh my!” Our first stop is the Henry Vilas Zoo, one of the nation’s few free admission zoos! The zoo is home to almost 115 species including lions, tigers, bears, badgers, flamingos, polar bears, camels and more! Explore a variety of fascinating animal habitats. We will enjoy an exclusive educational Critter Connection program led by the zoo’s staff. From the majestic big cats to playful primates, there’s something to delight everyone. Later this afternoon, savor a hearty meal at the iconic Toby’s Supper Club, known for its nostalgic charm and classic Wisconsin fare, family owned and operated for over 50 years. We will cap off our day with mezzanine-level seats to the spellbinding Broadway sensation Wicked at Madison’s Overture Center for the Arts. Experience the untold story of the witches of Oz, brought to life with stunning performances, dazzling visuals, and a powerful score. Witness the original Broadway blockbuster, whether you are discovering it for the first-time or re-discovering it again, this moving and powerful show brings Oz to life. Featuring your favorite songs from the tony-award winning score and your favorite green and pink witches, this one-day getaway promises a perfect blend of fun, flavor, and unforgettable memories.
