Top Secret Attraction — Attraction in Wisconsin Dells

On our way through town to our hotel on a Friday night, my kids spotted this cool building that had a dinosaur tearing out of its façade and they immediately wanted to check it out. We weren't able to go until that following Sunday afternoon, but driving past it on Saturday night, we took note that there was a good amount of people in its large car park, as well as a queue that was several people deep, which we took as a good sign. When we got there that Sunday afternoon, again, there were lots of people in the car park but we got in right away. At the time that we were going through, we were able to take our time and weren't rushed and were the only ones at each point/exhibits, which aren't even exhibits, really, but more like different rooms set up to look like the interior rooms of the White House, seperated by hallways. There's no historical context to the rooms or set pieces, but purely for entertainment with a sci-fi twist. The employees we interacted with were very friendly and were great at and took pride in their jobs. The rooms and walkways were clean and well-maintained, and the car park outside looked to be newly-paved and it had nice landscaping. At the beginning of the tour, your pictures are taken, which are offered to you at the end to purchase. I thought the entrance fee of $5/person was fair, although I'm not certain I would recommend this attraction with excitement to someone visiting the Dells. I rated Top Secret 4/5 because of the friendliness/professionalism of staff, its well-maintained grounds/interior and its uniqueness to the area. Unlike like its eye-catching exterior façade, its interior isn't wow-worthy or even really that memorable. My husband and I gave our nine and 10 year old kids the option of seeing Top Secret or the Ripley's Believe It Or Not attraction, and although they didn't say it aloud when we were leaving Top Secret, I think they wished they would've chosen the latter. However, I cannot say enough good things about its staff, which made a so-so attraction a little...

I personally had never remembered being in Top secret and after reading the reviews I almost didn’t take my clients, but when we got down to dells the day we went was a Monday and you had a special for $5 person so I took my clients bc I thought for $5 that’s not bad and they have never seen the White House so for them it’s neat- but like alot of reviews say the best stuff is on the outside which in one way is a shame bc the transformers are amazing outside I think I’ve been to dells 3x while they have been up maybe 4 and I’ve gotten pictures every time of bumble bee and prime bc they so neat, strange how inside you only have like maybe 2 more? And then the whole thing is very short, for the tourist attraction that it is would think you would want to utilize the space more inside so people read more either about the White House or something they are paying to get in and there really isn’t much walk thru few rooms with stuff on ceiling big whoop and then the transformers are on floor and the top secret stuff odds on floor which leaves everything up to people to question again but it really needs work!! Wisconsin dells brings in alot of tourism all summer long is high high tourism so honestly didn’t think much of it big whoop we did it-save your money take the picture outside and go to lost temple even that one was better and that os $5 everyday i was told and they...

(copy of another review) Oh wow. Ridiculous that the Top Secret is still open. EXTREMELY run down. Definitely NOT taken care of at all. Never again. If you read this review, DON'T waste your time in going. Save 5.00! Take the pictures with the transformers outside & move on.

(My own thoughts) I totally agree that it is such a disappointment. If I could put a negative I would. Mount Olympus should tear it down and do something else with it or gut it and redo it.

The transformers are in public view and you can walk up to them. You don't have to pay to see those or take photos with them. Those are cool.

however the actual building is a joke! Total disappointment. Half of the lights weren't working we had to turn on our flashlights. No sound effects, nothing real cool in it. It could be a fun attraction back in 1990 or 2000 but it's not updated or anything. There's nothing top secret about it.

Total waste of the 10$(2 people). What a joke and...
