Welcome to the
Winter Classic
For those who love the season a winter wonderland awaits outside. Skating, skiing, sledding, ice fishing or simply sipping a warm drink by the bonfire. It's a perfect time to visit Wisconsin. The tournament will draw teams from across the country looking to experience the heritage of the game itself. Even with the colder weather, the area offers many indoor activities during February and March, especially within its rich arts and culture scene. Visitors can catch a concert or a comedy show at venues like The Sylvee or The Orpheum Theater.
​
For sports fans, winter is peak season for cheering on the Wisconsin Badgers in college hockey or basketball at the Kohl Center. Additionally, the area offers many museums, such as the Wisconsin Historical Museum or the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art for those seeking a more relaxed pace. So no excuses, there's something for everyone. It's time to gather the boys and get ready for a road trip.
