Madison is the capital city of Wisconsin and I grew up here, unfortunately. It’s a city with a large 4-year university in the middle of it (UW-Madison). You’ll find many, many bars here & local restaurants that are proud to serve Wisconsin cheese and beer. I think there’s a lot to do here, but sometimes the motivation to do them is halted by the weird vibes. There are brown and black folks here, but not nearly enough for my comfort levels. There is a lot of covert racism imbedded in the schools, companies and attitudes of the people. The surrounding towns are even worse (Monona, Verona, Middleton, Waunakee, etc). I’d recommend using caution and standing up for yourself if anyone tries you!

I’ve been to WI Dells many times due to growing up in WI. “The Dells” is a popular tourist location for all types of groups: families, adult-only trips, solo vacationers, etc. It’s labeled the “water park capital” and there are many things to do: waterparks, amusement parks, shopping, dining, entertainment shows, etc. The cost of food, hotel/lodging and activities vary greatly since there are both budget and higher-end options. While you’ll see people of different races & age groups, majority are white people and I recommend using caution. There are towns surrounding The Dells where racists are not afraid to use the N word, as I was called one before.
