Remembering the Days before Helicopter Parenting

Was talking to my daughter about letting her kids live a little... wife and i walked away reminiscing about the local waterslide.

"My parents came the odd time, but mostly it was just me and my two sisters or my neighbours. We'd ride our bikes down, lean them up against the fence and spend the whole day there, really."

Did the Upper Dells Boat Tour that took us to the beautiful Witches Gulch and Wisconsin Dells famous Stand Rock.

I’ve done this tour once before and I absolutely love it just as much as the first time I went on this tour.

How come these stores do not yet exist in the Dells/Lake Delton?

I’m asking because it would be awesome to have just one. I get it that there is Walmart but Walmart is awful. It’s low quality for higher prices. Am I the only person seeing this…….???

Wilderness v Kalahari

Looking to spend two nights/three days at either Wilderness or Kalahari. We have children 4-9 coming with us. Any suggestions of the better place to stay between the two. Thanks in advance!

Swimming suggestions.

Hi!

My family is here for a week. Today we went to the Wilderness but the big water slides aren't really our favorite.

Is there just a normal pool we could pay to get into?

We're not staying at any of the hotels. We rented a house 20 miles away.

Basically we just want to go swimming but not have to pay for a giant water park 🙃

Thanks!

One family's experiences in Wisconsin Dells

For one, the author (and his family) felt it best to forsake the waterparks in favour of the scenic glories such as first attracted tourists there starting in the 1870's with the first steamboats offering excursions therein.

Any conclusions you may draw from this, I will leave to you, reader.

Warning when booking Wilderness Resort villas

I’m currently staying in the villas next to the waterdome and Aquavia Lumina (which is right behinds the villas) has been playing music very loudly all night. The front desk just informed me that it won’t stop until midnight.

This was definitely not on my list of what to expect here, especially when my hope was to escape excessive noise by booking outside of the main hotel.

If anyone is considering these villas, beware!

Adams-Friendship

Did anybody go to school there? What was the middle school environment like? Asking because I got a job offer nearby.

Is the meth problem really as bad as they say? I'm also a bit worried about the school admin after seeing some negative stuff on facebook about the high school.

Pregnancy Announcement

My husband and I traveling to the Dells & want to find a nice restaurant to announce our pregnancy to friends & family. Not a huge group, but it’s a special occasion.

Would love restaurant recommendations with good food & service. Bonus points if there’s any opportunity for a bit of privacy (patio, etc), though we really don’t expect that to be possible.

We’re thinking of a surprise dish or dessert to announce. Appreciate any suggestions!

The Dells Boat Tours (Upper Falls)

Hey guys!

I can't seem to find information on *booking dates* for the boat tour. I see "no reservations needed" which would imply we can just buy tickets, but I'm trying to get them a month in advance while we book everything else for our trip and it's not super clear. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Recommendations for the best resort with teens

We’re looking to take the kids to Wisconsin for a few days and would love recommendations. Our priorities are a place that’s clean, modern, and well-maintained—not outdated or overly crowded. We have teenagers, so it would be great if there are plenty of activities and entertainment options for them. We’d also prefer somewhere that doesn’t require a lot of walking. Budget isn’t a concern—we’re focused on finding the best overall experience for the family.
