Madison Children's Museum

Across the three floors of the award-winning Madison Children's Museum, youngsters up to 12 years old explore, learn, and most importantly, have fun, in a variety of interactive environments. The littlest visitors can wander through the Wildernest, a rustic play-space built almost entirely from natural materials and sustainably harvested hardwoods. Toddlers climb into the raised treehouse or take temporary residence in a mini-village of activity huts made from straw and mud. Suspended above the Wildernest is the Bone Ridge, an elevated walkway designed to resemble the vertebrae of a large animal, perhaps a sea serpent or a giant's pet snake. Afterwards, visitors can refuel with a snack at The Roman Candle Sparkler, and maybe even dessert at Pie in the Sky Diner, all while a fiberglass statue of museum mascot Gertrude the Cow hangs from the ceiling and keeps watch.

The apex of MCM, the Rooftop Ramble stands tall above a sweeping view of the Madison skyline, filling visions with a bird's eye view of the city as well as the museum itself. This outdoor garden can be enjoyed by a wide age-range: adults sip cocktails among fluttering chickens and homing pigeons during private events–from weddings to family reunions and Flat Earth Society meetings–and older kids discover the wonders of the greenhouse and live-animal terrariums.

Madison Children's Museum is also a popular destination for birthday parties, which are thrown by planners affectionately dubbed "Funstigators." The team makes each celebration unforgettable by taking care of all the essential party details, from providing the cake to adding a special theme, such as dinosaurs, artists, or mortgages. Regardless of the reason for visiting, families can start off their journey conveniently with onsite parking for cars and strollers.

The Groupon Guide to: Remaining Calm

Life is full of stressful situations that challenge our ability to remain calm. Whether you're in the middle of a heated debate or being chased by a gaggle of exes, use these techniques to remain even-tempered:

Take a Deep Breath: Feeling air slowly enter and leave your lungs will remind you that nothing really matters because we are all just balloons that move air around.

Count to 10: Ten is the most calming number because when turned sideways it looks like a thin man sleeping on a big, round rock. He's freer than any of us.

Think about Something Positive: You'll feel better if you imagine something peaceful such as a smiling child, a clear blue sky, or a horse playfully biting his master's hand.

Repeat a Positive Mantra: Many people are soothed by chanting "this too shall pass," and others like to repeat "I'm the one in charge, I sail my own barge."

Which number looks like a free man? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.
