A Public Place

Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center is open to the public daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

We invite you to take advantage of all the public spaces—inside and out—that Monona Terrace has to offer.

 

Lake Monona Bike & Pedestrian Path
An essential design element of the building was to keep the 12 km pathway around Lake Monona. The bike path and walkway wrap around this building and there is an elevator on the east side that can accommodate up to three bicycles and riders at a time. The elevator, which was the first of its kind in Madison, enables bikers to move from the lake level to the Wilson Street level.
