Are you confused with all the things to do and don’t know where to turn, let us help. We can explain a few things and give some suggestions that will make it easier for you to get the most out of your vacation in Wisconsin Dells.
The Wisconsin River running through Wisconsin Dells is separated in the downtown by a dam. The portion above the dam (to the north) is referred to as the Upper Dells and below the dam (to the south) the Lower Dells. There are boat trips on both of these areas. If you want to see what Wisconsin Dells was originally built around (the scenic natural beauty) the Upper Dells Boat trip is the one for you. You can take either the slower leisurely moving riverboat tours where they stop at a couple of the scenic points or take one of the jet boat rides where you get a good view of the beauty along the river in addition to a thrill ride. The jet boat ride includes a little extra bit of water, so if you don’t mind getting a little wet you’ll be fine.
Duck Trips:
Duck trips go only on the Lower Dells portion of the river, but they also go through some scenic areas on land. The trips last approximately 1 hour. This is a good choice if you want to see some of the scenic rock formations along the river but you have small children that might not do so well on the longer river boat tours. A bit of a thrill ride so the kids enjoy that also! Campers favorite:
The Original Wisconsin Ducks.
Waterparks/Amusement Parks:
There are 3 major outdoor waterparks with something to offer for everyone.
Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park:
Mt. Olympus offers both "water rides" and "dry rides", and also features an additional indoor waterpark “Bay of Dreams”, that ensures fun even if the weather is bad. Mt. Olympus has many extreme roller coasters and go carts. This is a great value if the kids want to do a little bit of everything! Great thing-----just park & play no fighting traffic or searching for parking because everything is in one area.
A water wonderland-- waterslides, wavepools, lazy rivers, water playgrounds and more. A very popular park especially with the teenage kids because they boast the "fastest slides," Enjoy the options of 3 passes: all day pass, double splash pass (2nd day 1/2 price), or season pass (unlimited all summer).
This is a combination waterpark/amusement park. They offer amusement type rides in addition to water activities. If you have small children that won’t last the whole day at a waterpark but want to have the experience, this is for you!

An interactive fantasy game. Find clues, solve puzzles and free the wizards. A great activity to do as a family! For those parents opting not to participate, keep in mind that teenage kids seem to do well, small children need help.
House on the Rock:
Just 1 hour from the Dells, located in Spring Green, this Frank Lloyd Wright house and museum is wonderful. A definite MUST, MUST, MUST for those without kids (no amusement rides or waterslides here). Plan on a good portion of the day between touring and travel time.
A personal family favorite of ours! A combination of magic and comedy this offers great family entertainment that the adults will enjoy as much as the kids. A definite must!!
Broadway Dinner Theatre
Enjoy dinner and a show for a reasonable price. Broadway style show performed in a beautiful state of the art theatre.
