Welcome to the Terrace! 

The Memorial Union Terrace opens for the 2026 season on April 15! You're invited to a party celebrating the return of the Terrace on April 17. Check out details at union.wisc.edu/about/news/terrace-2026

There's nothing like the historic Memorial Union Terrace.

Come enjoy the iconic sunburst chairs, beautiful lake views, gorgeous sunsets, and your food faves. We're finalizing our summer events schedule, so watch this space for our UW Credit Union Summer Stage music, art and film lineup.  

The years have passed, the space has grown and even the chairs have changed. But through it all, the Terrace has remained a favorite spot for students, faculty, staff, Wisconsin Union members and anyone else looking to enjoy a sunny day or beautiful evening.
