Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin, is one of the most popular
tourist attractions in the upper Midwest – and probably the hot spot in the
state.
Most Wisconsinites enjoy the Dells as an easy family getaway or day-trip, as
well.
The Dells has something for everyone. The city itself is
named for the beautiful and unusual rock formations that jut up into the sky
and form a strikingly attractive
display along the river’s edge. The scenery
alone is breathtaking and no visit to the Dells would be complete without a
boat tour of the Upper and Lower dells. In the Upper Dells, the boats
maneuver in and through narrow channels flanked by steep rock walls and
offer a dramatic view of the area. Some tours stop along the way and allow
passengers to disembark for a short time at Stand Rock formation, Cold Water
Canyon, and Witches Gulch. The Lower Dells tours are also beautiful, though
the river is wider and the sandstone structures are a bit less majestic.
Tours are narrated and describe the area’s history, making it a wonderful
learning experience for all.
Wisconsin Dells is also known for its water parks.
The city offers both outdoor and indoor water parks, so the area is hopping
with a splashingly wet good time even during the fall months. The area
boasts that it has the area’s largest indoor and outdoor water parks in
America, and that may very well be. With wave pools, waterslides, bumper
boats, inner tube slides, lazy rivers, kiddie pools, miniature golf,
go-karts, arcades, carnival rides, picnic areas, concession stands, and gift
shops, families could easily spend an entire weekend at one of these parks
and entertain everyone in the process.
Wisconsin Dells also highlights the areas Native American
Indian heritage with shows featuring Indian stories and folklore, costumes,
dances, and traditional ceremonies. This history is also evident in the
crafts and gifts available in the area, and area museums also feature
displays focusing on the Native American culture.
Opportunities to camp, hike, bike, walk the trails, and
enjoy the area’s natural beauty are everywhere. So are opportunities to
fish, boat, canoe, paddleboat, or otherwise enjoy the scenery by land or
water.
There is something for everyone in Wisconsin Dells!
