Welcome to the Terrace! 

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.
