One Word to Describe Wisconsin Dells Waterparks: Cowabunga!

Wisconsin Dells Water Parks: Sun, Soak, Splash

That word "cowabunga" came out of '60s surfer culture. It's an expression of exhilaration when riding the waves. And it's a perfect fit for all our Wisconsin Dells waterparks.

Being christened "The Waterpark Capital of the World!®" was no small accomplishment. In fact, the math is quite astounding. More than 20 waterparks dot the landscape in this community that pioneered the craze including the world's largest outdoor waterpark, Wisconsin's largest indoor waterpark and the largest indoor/outdoor combination. Finding a waterpark to love is as easy as donning your swim suit and sliding down a slide. Local officials are quite certain no one has accomplished the feat of trying all 200+ waterslides, but they don't doubt die-hards have tried.

Families often make selections based on their favorite waterslides, as well as their favorite accommodations. Some waterpark resorts feature luxury suites and condominiums, and many have loaded up on the amenities like restaurants, spas, and live entertainment.

Wisconsin Dells Waterparks: Outdoor

During the warm weather months, the outdoor Wisconsin Dells waterparks are a huge draw. We're talking acres of exhilarating fun, including extreme plunge slides, water roller coasters, wave pools, racing slides, river rapids, geysers, and bowl rides with stomach-flipping drops.

Wisconsin Dells Waterparks: Indoor

In many ways, it was the advent of the indoor waterparks that turned the city into a year-round vacation choice. Imagine being able to guarantee a balmy 85 degrees, no matter what's going on outside. Try that, Mr. Meteorologist!
