After much anticipation, the beloved Memorial Union Terrace<\/a> finally opened in late June. It generally opens in mid- to late April, but the coronavirus threw a wrench into those efforts for 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Terrace is one of Madison\u2019s favorite locations in the summer, both for the campus community and for the city of Madison as well,\u201d says Mark Guthier, director of the Wisconsin Union and associate vice chancellor for student affairs. So when the Union was deciding which of its facilities would be the best place to reopen, \u201cthe Terrace was the most obvious choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

But while it remains a special place, things are definitely working differently in these pandemic times. Here\u2019s what you need to know before your next Terrace visit.<\/span>\n

Step 1: Prepare for your visit<\/h2>\n

You must book a reservation<\/a> via OpenTable. You can do this up to two days in advance, and parties must consist of six people or fewer, all from the same household. Make sure at least one member of your party is a UW-Madison student or employee, Wisconsin Alumni Association member, Wisconsin Union member or active-duty U.S. service member. If not, you can also buy a one-day guest membership<\/a>. You should also download the Grubhub app<\/a> before you get to the Union \u2014 it\u2019ll come in handy later.<\/span>\n

Step 2: Check in for your reservation<\/h2>\n

Show up at the entrance by Alumni Park a few minutes before your reservation; there might be a short line to get in. And make sure you\u2019re wearing a mask! If you don\u2019t have one, there are free masks available at the first check-in. An employee there will confirm your reservation and make sure one member of your party has a membership. There\u2019s another station after the initial check-in, where each person will receive a wristband. Next, you wait at a white circle on the grass until a Union staffer discloses your table number and leads you there.<\/span>\n

\"Grass<\/div><\/div>\n
\"Wristbands\"<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/span>\n

Step 3: Order and receive your food and drinks<\/h2>\n

After you\u2019re seated, you should order your food through Grubhub. If you\u2019re a student, you can connect your Grubhub to your NetID. If not, you can log-in as a guest. When you\u2019re in the app, click on \u201cMy Grubhub,\u201d go to the gear button in the upper right corner, select the \u201cCampus Dining\u201d option, and log-in. Once you\u2019ve signed up for campus dining, you can order your meal through the \u201cTerrace Restaurant\u201d and a Union employee will deliver it to your table. If you\u2019re 21 or over and want to order an adult beverage, you can still order your drinks through the Grubhub app. However, you can\u2019t pay for alcohol through the app; instead, a Union employee will bring it to you and you pay once they verifies your ID.<\/span>\n

Step 4: Sit back, relax, and enjoy!<\/h2>\n

Congrats, you made it! Now enjoy your 90 minutes of yummy food and a beautiful Lake Mendota view. (Each reservation has a maximum stay of 1\u00bd hours.) The process may be different, but the result is still the same: a beautiful day lakeside with your loved ones.<\/span>\n
