What's the Deal with the Dells?
Well, if you are anything like us, and not a huge fan of water parks or like staying on a resort all day, you might be asking yourself what you can do at “The Waterpark Capital of the World”? Don’t fright! Wisconsin Dells has a lot of other outdoors activities to offer so you definitely will not get bored. We did the Original Wisconsin Duck Tour, the regular upper Dells Boat Tour, stopped by the Tommy Bartlett show, road the Mid-Continent Railway, went by the Timbavati Safari park and fed a giraffe, checked out the 3 state parks in the area (Mirror Lake, Devils Lake, and Rocky Arbor), and even stopped at a few Breweries and Wineries. This list does not even touch the tip of the iceberg for things to do in the Dells but we only have so much time to get it all in on a 3-day weekend. There are also things like miniature golf, regular golfing, zip lining, hiking, museums, go-cart racing, the Ho-Chunk Casino, the lumberjack show, and even the D-Day invasion park of rope courses. If you go in the winter, there are a few resorts nearby by for skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, snowshoeing, and a mall for Christmas shopping.

From what we were able to do, we highly recommend doing the Duck tour (World War II amphibious DUKW vehicle) of the south river and regular boat tour of the north river and at least get out at the Witches Gulch when they stop. Also attend an old classic, the Tommy Bartlett show, and if you interested in one of the state parks Devil’s lake looked like the best out of the three with lots of great hiking. As far as food and beverages, you should stop at the B-Lux Grill and Bar for lunch and try their parmesan garlic chicken wings and the mushroom Swiss sliders with a side of BBQ sauce and sweet potato fries. Then top that off with one of their delicious milkshakes. Another must stop is the Port Huron Brewing Company which was a nice find and you absolutely MUST try their Honey Blonde Ale. They also give a nice tour of their quaint little facility. It is on the outskirts of town so don’t think that you are getting lost when the GPS takes you out that way.
Got a tip on place to go, drop us a line and let us know!
