Wisconsin Dells: Picturesque Scenery and Family Entertainmentīefore the Dells became synonymous with water parks and amusement rides, the midwestern destination's claim to fame was its scenery. The resort also boasts the award-winning 27-hole Trappers Turn Golf Club.
There are several restaurants onsite, including a buffet, a sports bar, and a cocktail lounge. After spending some time in the water, check out the indoor theme park, which has a six-story Ferris wheel, go-karts, a climbing wall, 24 bowling lanes, and mini golf. Water-park admission is included with your stay, so you can play all day in the wave pool, zip down the Victoria Falls family raft ride, recline on the lazy river, and play on the FlowRider surf ride.
The oasis in the midst of this faux desert is the resort's temperature-controlled indoor water park-Wisconsin’s largest at 125,000 square feet. The lobby resembles a rustic village complete with kiosks disguised as thatched-roof huts and a watering-hole fountain surrounded by statues of hippos, elephants, and flamingos. In fact, staff members travel to Africa each year and bring back artifacts to display throughout the hotel, such as hand-carved furniture, sculpture, and paintings.
