10 Free Things to do in Wisconsin Dells That You Shouldn't Miss

June 19, 2021 Leonarda Pillsbury

Shaped by the currents and curves of the Wisconsin River, Wisconsin Dells has been a favorite family vacation destination for more than 150 years. An explosion of indoor water parks has turned the Dells from a summer hot spot to a year-round destination. Kids will enjoy the seemingly endless supply of fun and games, from go-karts to miniature golf, sideshows to thrill rides. If the weather's right, you can take a Duck tour of land and water, and top it all off with a heaping helping of the local fudge.

I don't know what to call this store, or whether there are several companies at once merged together, but they have Kernel Popcorn's Factory, Aunt Jennie's Candy Kitchen and Captain Scoopy's Ice Cream under one roof, so every sweet tooth will find something!

Amazing experience! My husband, our 12 yo, and I visited for the first time. This business is A+ from customer service to ax coaching to food service. They nailed every part of it. Dennis was very welcoming and helpful on the phone when I called. Our coach, Dennis, was very knowledgeable and a patient teacher with a sense of humor. Our server, Dennis, was spot on with food recommendations. Stuffed portobello mushrooms, steak kabobs, million dollar sandwich, and pizza were all amazing and served by Dennis with great hospitality. Downeast winter blend cider on tap was to die for(recommended by Dennis)! The axe throwing is very safe and set up to make accidents difficult to pull off :). If you are trying to take out a spouse, try something else. We had a great time time and did I mention that Dennis was amazing?! Highly recommended! When we finally did leave, I left my glasses on the table; but, have no fear... Dennis ran them out to us in the parking lot.

Reviewed By Crystal52404 - Cedar Rapids, United States

My four year old daughter loved this area. We played here for about an hour every day of our four day stay. This area never seemed to busy compared to every where else in the resort. They had a good amount of seating available for parents and I loved the fact the only way in and out of the structure is visible from where you sit. So I wasnt worried about losing my daughter in the structure. She could have stayed here all day. Be sure to bring socks because they are required. They do have a vending machine with socks available for purchase. This is a great FREE addition to the resort and highly recommend utilizing it.

The best fudge I've had in 30 years! No joke! When I was a teen, my Dad was the fudge maker in our family and it was super delicious. Well, he's just met his match.

I love Carr Valley Cheese! They have a few locations around Wisconsin, so be sure to look them up on all of your adventures. The Squeaky fresh cheese curds are the best. I also always check out the "good buy" cheese, for discounted end pieces - which make amazing mac n cheese!
