Monster rides and thrilling slides make Wisconsin Dells the perfect summer vacation spot. Every sizzling summer, families and Dell's regular vacationers find themselves peeping in and out of the innumerable waterparks and yet, a huge number of regular visitors flocking to Wisconsin Dells have still not ventured past the waterparks and into the vibrant touristy town. It’s surprising how a town ranked #1 family vacation spot in 2010, still has some hidden gems yet to be explored. However, if you’re ready to look beyond the water parks and into the panoramic town of Wisconsin Dells, get yourself a hotel near the Cascade Mountain Ski Area, and when you’re not skiing away your monotonous city life, here’s what the Dells have in store for you.
Witches Gulch
The breath-taking town of Wisconsin Dells boasts of some ravishing natural tourist attractions, one such being the narrow passage carved by prehistoric wind and water and nature and engulfed by Mother Nature. The upper Dells boat tour will take you directly to this stunning canyon.
Original Ducks
The Dells are the proud owner of some WWII fleets which are amphibious vehicles, or as the Dells like to call it, The Original Wisconsin Ducks. A thrilling car ride that rolls straight into Wisconsin river, the ducks have an intriguing story to tell. Used extensively during WWII, the Original ducks started their unique journey shortly after the second great war came to a conclusion and the first-ever duck to initiate this joy ride excursion started back in 1946. Currently, 92 Original Ducks operate within the Dells.
