The Dells — Attraction in Wisconsin Dells

The dells is derived from the French dalles, which is what the early French explorers called the area. The area has gone from a sleepy little nature attraction to a modern day resort area destination with multiple indoor and outdoor waterparks. The fun does not stop there. There are fantastic minature golf courses and even more fantastic spa opportunities. No trip to the dells can ever be complete without a ride on the ducks. These converted world war two amphibious landing assault vehicles are a perfect way to tour the area. The downtown area is chock a block with fun stores and bars. Nearby you can go to the Ho-Chunk casino and try your hand at any number of gambling games. If you get the chance to marvel at the Tommy Bartlet ski and sky show try to imagine when the whole lake burst it's earthen dam and emptied into the Wisconsin River taking houses with it. My wife swears by the chile rellenos at Mexicalli Rose where the margaritas are as great as the view of Wisconsin River hydroelectric dam. Below the dam is famous for it's walleye fishing! The nearby outlets mall has one of the few Wilson Leather stores...

Man! What can you say about the Wisconsin Dells! This place is majestical and so natural. Simply stunning. My husband and I kayaked out through the Dells and were in awe of the entire trip. We spent 5 hours on the water in what seemed an easy paddle up river and back down. I would recommend the paddle to any kayaker, just be careful of the tour boats that come through, stick close...

Beautiful scenery! The boat ride was loud with diesel engine and sometimes hard to hear the guide but friendly captains and we got to see Witches Gultch and an eagle along the banks. It was a really nice way to spend a cool and rainy vacation day. Would recommend for a family outing with school-age...
