    Way smaller then Pigeon Forge and even Branson. The Deer Park is awesome. Kalahari is awesome. Mount Olympus water Park is fun. Black Hawk Hotel is a great little retro Hotel. Of course the boat rides are fun. We did the ghost boat.

    I live near the Dells and go there with my wife about twice per month during the warmer time of the year. Here are the staples to hit:
    --ride the Original Duck
    --go on the upper Dells boat tour
    --go into the cheeseball Haunted Mansion on the main drag, it's been there since the early 1960s
    --best two traditional Dells (but expensive) restaurants: Del-Bar & House of Embers, they're basically across the street from each other
    --If it's hot, the best jet boat tour is at the 'Wild Thing Jet boat tour'
    --Most of the pizza is terrible in the Dells, but Sarento's pizza is phenomenal; "Moosejaw" pizza is dreadful
    --best burger: Monk's, the one on the main drag
    --best mid-priced restaurant: The River Walk Pub
    --pick up the best fudge at "Original Wisconsin Dells Fudge" on the main drag

    I went to the Dells two years ago, and it was fun. I went on the Upper Dells Boat Tour, and I went to this place that had delicious fried cheese curds. Forgot the name? Yeah, The Dells are one of those places like Gatlinburg, Branson, MO, Myrtle Beach, SC and Niagara Falls NY/ON.

    Del Bar is one of the best places to eat in the Dells. Mt Olympus about 8 years ago bought up all the little ma and pa hotels and just named them after their main resort.As a local this was fun to watch. I've lived here 37 out of my 44 years. Grew up here and have always wondered what it would be like to see it for the first time.

    as a (somewhat) local (45 minutes away). The Mt. Olympus owner ruined the town! A couple years ago he took the northwoods style out and painted everything white and blue.

    The Haunted Mansion was kind of neat. I like those with the automated stunts better than those with live actors.
    If you ever get up to Lafayette, Indiana, there is a place in the mall called “Malibu Jack’s” that is very much like the arcade at Buffalo Phil’s. They have games, rides, go carts, mini-golf, motion simulators and bowling. It’s about as large as the one you went to.

    Mount Olympus is an Ancient Greek theme that’s why the Trojan Horse. A Greek family bought all those hotels and resorts in the Dells and fixed them all up. That’s why the are numbered. You should drive down to Sauk City to see the first Culver’s restaurant. I’ve gone there went it was the only one. Lake Delton had a massive flood several years ago that got national news coverage with video houses being washed away.

    After the first time I went to Gatlinburg I described Gatlinburg as the Dells on steroids to fellow Wisconsin friends. The problem in the Dells, as others have mentioned, is that the Mt. Olympus is gobbling up smaller places, and trying to turn it into a one company town. I heard, although can't confirm because I'm not from the Dells, is that some of the small family motels were bought by Mt. Olympus and sit empty, so they don't have competitors.

    • @moneyshot6

    It was great to see the old school charm of Wisconsin Dells. Wish Gatlinburg developers made more of an effort to keep the small town charm of the 60’s and 70’s when they do their big renovations and rebuilds here in the Smokies.

    So nice to see you going to the Dells. I did want to let you know the Pepper Palace originated in Appleton WI, they had a stand at the Fox River Mall, then their first building was in an old TYME machine building in Oshkosh, the owners then moved to Gatlinburg where they opened up more. But yes, the first Pepper Palace building was in Oshkosh WI. :-)

    I love Wisconsin dells I took my family to Mount Olympus theme and water park and camped at Bonanza Camp Resort that was summer of 2006 I believe family went to a haunted house there too Tommy Bartlett exporloritoy. A severe thunderstorm went through with a tornado just outside of the Dells. Before that in elementary school a school trip to the Dells I don't remember too much about that trip what I do remember going Tommy Bartlett exporloritoy . I went to Mount Olympus on the latest trip with adult family homes I use live in one we went to in 2018 was that last time I was in Wisconsin Dells. I hope someday I go again.
