Destination: Wisconsin Dells

After doing the Gulf Coast a Gazillion Times, the Mrs and I went the opposite direction...North to the Dells.

A 6hr drive is much better than double to Florida, so that's a plus!

I won't make this too long, so here are the pluses and minuses...

It basically geared towards kids and summer activities. Waterparks rule.

Weather permitting, it would keep you busy. Unfortunately, it rained about half the time for us.

Golf is pretty decent. I would recommend Wild Rock (Wide Fairways but Fast And Demanding Greens).

Coldwater Canyon is good too. But not on the level of Wildrock. Near Chula Vista which is a Recommend stay. Geared towards adults with fewer kids.

Christmas Mountain (The Oaks) is a better course than you think when you're in the clubhouse or at the range. Those are 4/10... the course is 7.5-8/10.

Trappers Turn Is the top in the area, but quite pricey.

Attractions wise, the 2 hour river tour is definitely worth the price of admission! Just be sure to take a jacket. One stop is easily 20* cooler...

Like I said, waterparks, ziplines, go carts are the the norm. If you like those, you'll be OK.

One big regret is going to Ishnala Supper Club. Quite Pricey which would have been fine, but the waitress spilled Balsamic Vinegar dressing down my wife's dress and they done NOTHING to rectify it!

I spoke to the manager who said "Here's my card. Get it cleaned and I'll pay for it"

I told him we were out of town, he said email me....Yea Right! I would Pass, but you do you...

Josés Mexican Restaurant is quite good, Mexicana Rose...Not So Much ( All new staff being trained and weak drinks that Don't fill the glass...)

We also ate at Monks, but they lost power in the middle of our meal. So make that what you will. Food was good though!

Ripley's is worth the look too. Good for a couple hours during the rain (like it did on us).

There's the short version. I'll ammendment as I remember what went on.

Also did a Root Beer Museum. Meh on the museum, but Big Props on the Root Beer!

One Final Thing...Bourbon Hunting. Nil, Zero, Nada. Overpriced and Under Stocked....That's All I Gotta Say...

Overall...With kids 8/10 adults only 6/10 weather dependant. We had a "Good" time...not a "Great" time.
