Things to do in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin (WI): The Best Nature & Parks
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.

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.

It's a park like setting where you walk along the designated path and are able to feed the deer with wasa crackers that you can purchase. They will come right up to you and are very friendly. We did notice one deer that seemed to not want anything to eat even when offered - it looked tired and maybe ill - we mentioned this to the staff as we were concerned for its welfare. There are other animals too, like moose, elk and others that you can observe in their enclosures.

Witches Gulch was an included stop on both the Upper Dells tour and Jet boat tour we participated in. The path and walkway are great and only narrowed a bit towards the end of the trail towards a small concession stand (which was great to breakup the tours) and included a bathroom area. Pictures in the gulch were awesome and our family loved how windy the paths got at times, it made you feel like you were almost by yourself in the gulch.

Our kids absolutely love this place and we have come back at least 3 times to try to complete all the quests. If you are looking for something fun to do with the family when the weather isn't the best or outside of the waterparks in the Dells this is the place!!! We loved looking for clues, climbing and riding slides, and trying to beat the clock. Absolutely a must do for kids of all ages!

Even though we are here during the pandemic, we are still able to enjoy our vacation. Additional pictures were loaded on the main website for the resort. This is the place to be during the winter as they have ski hills and a tubing hill on site.

We arrived right when the park opened. The parking was ample and easy, as was our entrance. I would highly suggest buying the lunch box with treats such as carrots, biscuits, bird seed and grain for the animals. The front of the park is a bit empty and underwhelming, but keep going to encounter all sorts of animals up close. My kids got to see lions and tigers eating meat, and feed a giraffe, camels, kudus and more. The nursery with babies was neat to see. My five-year-old's favorite part was feeding the parakeets (there were so many in so many colors). We spent just under two hours at the park and enjoyed our time.

Pine trees are my favorite. We had the park to ourselves during the off season. It was amazing to hike in the cliffs and being surrounded by Pine trees, on a brisk day. Beautiful photo opportunities. Nice playground. It looks like a nice place for a picnic. I think it has a campground. We love nature, but do not camp or enjoy crowds. We paid a small fee by leaving our payment. Trust system. We could hear traffic from a distance. I did not notice it as much as some of the reviewers.
