Weird and Wonderful Attractions
One thing we didn’t expect on our visit to the Wisconsin Dells with kids were the wonderful and weird attractions featuring all kinds of unique and crazy things. My teen and tween loved the haunted houses, the dad joke filled Duck Boat ride and the fun and funky museums.
I’ve been featuring our individual reviews of Wisconsin Dells area attractions here on Newsbreak, if you want to learn more, but some of our top favorites include Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum, Tommy Bartlett Exploratory Interactive Science Center and the Top Secret A Highly Classified Experience.
Go Wild With These Outdoor Attractions
A couple of our favorite area attractions to visit in the Wisconsin Dells with kids offered the opportunity to go wild and get up close and personal with animals. We loved visiting and feeding the deer at the Wisconsin Deer Park and going wild at the Timbavati Wildlife Park. Plan on lots of time and photo opps at these fun animal attractions and be sure to budget for animal food as well as admission for lots of experiences.
Get Outdoors and Adventurous
The Wisconsin Dells are no place to be shy! There are lots of adventures for everyone, no matter your interests, age or activity level. We found golf, boat tours, zip lines, mini golf, go carts and more to keep busy, and there are lots of things to explore. One of my teen and tween’s favorites was the Wilderness Canyon Zip Line Canopy Tour where they got a sky high view of the Wisconsin Dells.
