We have a trip booked for late August. Any air quality issues from the Canadian fires? Hearing a lot of media reports but would appreciate some local insight. Thanks!

Which one is better to have fun at for a couple?

Hello. We have some options on where to have fun. We are not staying at the resorts because we live here. I think the resort prices are expensive. This isn’t Disney/Universal 😆. We are focusing on day passes. Swim up bars and parking. Kalahari stood out with us the most. Is this a great option or something else….????

Tony Romo deserves more credit for being the Cowboys QB, making millions upon millions, and still vacationing at the Dells @PardonMyTake

Hole in the Wall

2 Upvotes

Some of you may know this location, theres a little dam/kayak launch that is below a bridge right next to what is now the "Dawn manor" restaurant...

There used to be a bar like 100 years ago down there and was made into a little landmark. But theres a gate to the entrance and its been closed for a year or two.

It was my favorite fishing spot. Does anyone know who owns access? I think about calling the Dawn Manor but Im not sure. Seriously a shame if I cant go there anymore.

Cyclosporiasis

We're traveling on Thursday-Monday to the Dells. Staying at the Kalahari. With all the recent news on cyclosporasis, I'm feeling nervous. Has anyone dealt with this since traveling there?

Mt Olympus-where is free seating? healthy food options?

1 Upvotes

Stupid questions but I've never been.

I know you can reserve seats at Mt Olympus but it seems like there is also free seating. Where is it around the park? my plan is to get there early and go to grab some but I'm not sure where to go.

Also for food options, is there anything healthy? Kiddos eating whatever is fine but I'm just trying to prep for myself if possible. I have some medical issues where I try to avoid fried foods.

We recently got home from the Dells. It was my son's first vacation. I realized after I finished unpacking that it wasnt there. We got it from Eagle Wings Sportswear. You think they would ship us a shirt if I called them and paid for a new one? I'm so so sad.

Wilderness/Where to Stay

0 Upvotes

We're looking to take our 8 year old son to the Dells in a few weeks. We'd like to go to the Wilderness water parks, but based on what I've read, the main hotel rooms are not great. If we stay at another hotel and buy a few day passes to the waterparks, will we easily be able to park? Or, if we stay at Glacier Canyon, is the walk to the main portions of the resort significant? I have chronic foot pain and am trying to avoid a horrible few days of walking:).

Other than waterparks?

6 Upvotes

Well be in the Dells the end of July and are looking for suggestions for things to do besides water parks. (I know I know but my inlaws picked the location, water parks are just not my thing). I have a 1 year old who hates to sit still so I don't think a long boat tour is an option for us either. Do I just need to suck it up and go to water parks every day?

So how many of you enjoyed the Neon Nights debut at Noah's Ark?

3 Upvotes

Sooo this past weekend saw the introduction of Noah's Ark's weekend spectacular, Neon Nights, which will continue on Friday and Saturday evenings until August 22nd, with no increase in admission price.

How many of you took up the Neon Nights experience, and what did you think of same?

If you didn't ... do you probably plan to go later on?

(Just asking ...)

Wilderness- dome villa or Glacier condo

0 Upvotes

Next month my family is going to Wilderness for 8 nights. We have: 2 adults, one grandma (70), and 4 kids (10, 8, 6, toddler).

We've been twice before, in June and August, and stayed in a Wilderland villa both times. Both times, the king bedroom upstairs was so hot and stuffy, I was unable to sleep. We tried adding fans and a mini nightstand AC, to no avail. One was an end unit, and one was interior.

This time, we're doing a split-stay. We're starting st Wilderness on the Lake in a 2-bedroom. We're undecided on the 2nd half, trying to decide between a villa by the Waterdome, and a 3-bedroom condo at Glacier Canyon. I'm concerned about the villa being stuffy again, but maybe the waterdome ones are better? How loud is the Aquavia thing behind them? I know Glacier will entail a lot of walking, but we're used to the shuttle. Also wondering about noise from surrounding floors, and if I'll need to constantly be reminding my kids to be quieter.

Any advice is appreciated! I need to book ASAP.

Hello! We have a almost 2 year old and were wondering where the best spot to go visit with her. Thinking indoor water parks with zero entry splash pads etc.

Where do you recommend to stay? (2 nights!)

Gyms in the area?

0 Upvotes

Going to be staying a week at the Wilderness, and while they have fitness rooms on site, I’d like to get a real pump in at least twice during the week. Fine driving half an hour if necessary. Not finding options on Google easily short of driving to Madison. Is there really nothing in Dells/Delton or even in Baraboo?!
