I was very impressed with learning the history and being able to freely walk around this great property; You can view it during the day or night. If you are a Frank Lloyd Wright fan, it is mandatory to see. Free admission too, unlike Talesin.
The Monona Conference Center is located right on the shore of Lake Monona. It's a beautiful location. If you are an event attendee, you will enter off of Wilson Street. If you are an event exhibitor, you will enter off of John Nolen Drive. Because we were exhibiting and had been given the Wilson Street address, we had a bit of a kerfuffle finding the proper loading area.
Was just here last weekend for an event. The convention center is large enough to host several events at the same time, without feeling crowded. The view of the lake is very nice! Staff was very helpful.
Great venue for the USA Climbing championships. Interesting Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. Not sure its really worth a visit for architecture lovers; too much altered from original designs. But great venue for events
Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center's a nice place but it's basically boring. If you are interested in seeing modified Frank Lloyd Wright architecture, go ahead. There are some community oriented dances, etc there during the summer and they are fun. Visit the Otis Redding Memorial if you're a fan. The bike path and walking path that runs between the edifice and Lake Monona are nice. It probably won't be the highlight of your trip/visit to Madison, however.
Great especially for Frank Lloyd Wright fans and for a great view of our lakes and downtown. A great venue for various events from weddings to expos to lunchtime yoga! A must see for travelers and newcomers to the Madison area .
Minona Terrace is not just a convention center. It's a *beautiful* space, as designed over 50 years by Frank Lloyd Wright, and eventually built by the city. It's worth a visit and stroll along the pictures of FLW, his work, etc.
Frank Lloyd Wright is my favorite architect so visiting Wisconsin; Monona Terrace was a must for me. It sure doesn't disappoint. The views of the lake are breath-taking equally both in winter and summer. The center itself is very well maintained, always clean and very informative with interactive signs all around. It's free admission so you don't have any excuse not to see it.
Attended national climbing championships - great facility with beautiful design and views of the lake
Wonderful location to hold any event. Conference Center is friendly; always can locate a person for assistance. Staff is very helpful as well as attentive to groups needs. Would highly recommend this location for any event.
