07 See a Movie at the Golden Rondelle

From the outside, the Golden Rondelle Theater appears to be a UFO that's crashed head-first into a complex. It's actually a remnant of the 1964 New York World's Fair that somehow wound up in Wisconsin. You'll find it as part of the tour of the S.C. Johnson Headquarters. On the whole, this entire campus is a must-see for architecture buffs with strange, towering complexes, indoor lidos, and sculptures honoring Wisconsin's First Nations. The 1.5-hour public tour is free, but reservations are needed, and the tours are only held Thursday-Sunday. Regardless, the theater still screens the Oscar-winning documentary that first played there.
