Wisconsin Dells Vacation Ideas
National Plan for Vacation Day is January 31, so it’s only right that we devote one feature story this month to all the things that make a Wisconsin Dells vacation so great. Let the planning begin!
We’ve always been a big fan of the concept of planning ahead to make sure you use up your vacation days. After all, a vacation is one of the great joys of life. So, on Tuesday, January 31, National Plan for Vacation Day, set aside time to consider why your next vacation (or vacations, as the case may be) should be to Wisconsin Dells.
We Are “The Waterpark Capital of the World!®”
There are more waterparks here of every size per capita than anywhere else on the planet, including more than 200 waterslides and 16 million gallons of water. We have a waterpark for every season and every age.
Winter/Spring/Fall Trip
There are indoor waterparks to splash around in, with the big waterpark resorts consistently making those “best of” national lists. We’re talking Wilderness Resort, Kalahari Resort Waterparks, Great Wolf Lodge, Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park, and Chula Vista Resort.
For those traveling with smaller children, small and mid-sized resorts such as Atlantis Waterpark Hotel and Grand Marquis Waterpark Hotel & Suites cater to the under-12 crowd.
Summer Trip
This season is all about outdoor waterparks, with Noah’s Ark, the country’s largest outdoor waterpark, being a pilgrimage destination for waterpark fans.
Traveling with small children? Add Yogi Bear Camp-Resort & Water Playground or Meadowbrook Resort to your itinerary.
