Fantastic views of the Mississippi River and lots of stunning and spectacular flower arrangements scattered throughout the park.

Very beautiful place. I loved the sea front and it has plenty of places to seat. One can also rent a boat.
Joy C — Google review
Riverside Park is a public park located on the riverfront of downtown La Crosse, Wisconsin. It's beautiful place on the bank of Mississippi River. It's just at walking distance from downtown. The serene view of the river and surrounding makes it a must visit. The ferry licated in the part is operated on specific schedule not throughout the year. Usually May to mid Oct. Check the operating schedule in advance...

Pleasantly surprised by this park. Awesome walk along the river. A bunch of art on the north end. Glad we stopped.
Rockford W — Google review
Don’t forget to stop here and Friendship Gardens Mississippi River front plus confluence of Black and LAX rivers. Beautiful natural views and impressive community engagement. This area really comes together with a variety of amenities and features Would really love to see a live music or community event here. Or be down here during the rush of a La Crosse Center event

Just go! You won't regret it's beautiful.Rest rooms are. Lea,pets allowed on leashes.
Toni K — Google review
“Riverside Park is one of the best places in La Crosse to walk dogs and enjoy the riverfront. We come here often because the scenery, paths, and open space make it easy to get dogs around real distractions—fountains, people, bikes, and the lights in winter. It’s always clean, dog-friendly, and a great spot to relax. One of our favorite places to spend time in La Crosse.”

Wished we had more time here. It's beautifully done and The Friendship Garden is wonderful.

Grandad Bluff, located in La Crosse, Wisconsin, is a 600-foot-high ancient bluff offering stunning panoramic views of the Mississippi River Valley. This popular state park features a viewing platform and shelter house where visitors can take in the breathtaking vista that stretches out to three states: Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa. The park also provides coin-operated binoculars and picnic areas for visitors to enjoy.
The view is gorgeous. There's ample parking, and the walk from the parking lot to the bluff is short. We took our friends here because they had never seen it and they loved the view too!
Darcy M — Google review
A cool spot. Great panoramic view. I went in the middle of the day, but I can imagine a great sunset view from here.

This is a breathtaking view of at least three states. Gorgeous at any time, but during the Fall especially so.
Penny W — Google review
A gem in La Crosse for those who love nature and must see. Note that if you want to see the scenic overview, you have to put “Grandad Bluff Park” into your GPS which is about 0.5 miles further up the road. Pics taken in early fall just as leaves were starting to change colors. So peaceful and a true nature lover escape.

Great views of La Crosse and greater Wisconsin! A quick 5-10 minute drive and you are at the peak. Just a few switchbacks and tighter corners but nothing too bad. Dog friendly if they are leashed and well mannered.

Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Mentioned on 
14 lists 
Shrine
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled just a short 15-minute drive from the historic downtown of La Crosse, the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe is a stunning modern neoclassical church that beckons visitors with its serene beauty and rich spiritual significance. Built between 2005 and 2008 to honor the miraculous apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Mexico City in 1531, this sacred site spans an impressive 100 acres adorned with meticulously designed gardens and devotional areas.
We were blessed to visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe on a beautiful sunny, summer day. There is a gift shop, restaurant, washrooms and a welcome center closest to the parking lot. They offered us water and snacks. It was so wonderful to meet Enid who was volunteering. The views of the landscape and gardens were quite lovely. Be prepared to walk! High heels are not recommended. There are carts available for those who do need a ride. They have a map in Spanish and English with the different paths to the main church, rosary walk, votive chapel, stations of the cross, memorial to the unborn, as well as several statues of saints. Most adorable Savior, in Thy wondrous love for us Thou dost remain in the blessed Sacrament of the Altar. O Sacrament most holy, O Sacrament divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment Thine! Virgin most holy, by thy holy and immaculate heart, make us enter into the adorable Heart of thy divine Son, Jesus Christ. O sweet St. Joseph obtain for us the gift of prayer and of perpetual union with Jesus and Mary. Amen Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us!
Tina X — Google review
Beautiful grounds and a break from the city bustle. I visited during a beautiful week here in Wisconsin, and the grounds were meticulous maintained. Super friendly staff that would take you up to the Shrine via a golf cart if needed. It is about a half-mile walk up a paved trail that passes through some beautiful sculptures. The Shrine is in perfect condition and there is a new construction project going on to expand services. Really worth the trip for anyone, not just Catholics. Plenty of free parking and handicapped services are available.
Chadwick — Google review
A place of beauty, peace and deep spirituality. I visited the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe while in La Crosse, and it was truly wonderful. The whole site is incredibly peaceful, set in the middle of nature with several walking paths, gardens, and quiet areas for reflection. The walk up to the church is scenic and thoughtfully designed, with stops along the way like the Stations of the Cross and other devotional areas. It feels like a retreat from the world, very calm and serene. The church itself is stunning—beautiful classical architecture, very clean and well-maintained, with a reverent atmosphere even when it’s quiet. You can tell a lot of love and care went into the design and upkeep. There’s also a small café and a gift shop, both really nice and welcoming. Staff were kind and helpful. Even if you’re not religious or just curious, this place is absolutely worth a visit for the natural beauty, art, and peaceful atmosphere. Wear comfy shoes as there’s some walking involved. But there’s also a shuttle if needed!
Sofia P — Google review
The place was incredibly welcoming and pleasant. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the statues and shrine. We managed to attend the 11 am mass in Spanish, which was convenient since we had our young son and needed to return to the office promptly. The weather was perfect for this time of year, neither too hot nor too cold.
Lizbeth R — Google review
We koved it. Drove 2 hours to witness it. It was beautiful inside and out. The gifts shop was a tad bit pricy. But the trip was worth it for us. As it was Hispanic heritage month they were having mass in Spanish. There were a lot of people, including busloads.There were two or three buses of people who came together. We're definitely going back, just not every weekend sort of thing.
Regina G — Google review
An incredible place. We had limited time but I look forward to coming again. It very hilly and they don't have a great way to see all the Shrine. They will give a ride to the main church. I walked back so the other people I was with could see some more of the Shrine. It was the perfect place to go before the hospital.
Glenn E — Google review
Beautiful wooded setting. A bit of an uphill climb from the visitors center to the shrine. But worth it. If you have mobility problems, they do have golf carts to drive you to the top.
Laura B — Google review
Beautiful grounds and chapels for quiet reflection. They also offer golf cart rides to the main shrine church from the visitors center; the chapel in the picture is an easy short walk up a paved path. Please note they do close at 5pm!

I hesitate to write such a glowing review because I don't want to draw others to this hidden gem in Westby. My fiance and I visited over a quiet Sunday and it was so incredibly... pleasant. I don't think I can think of a better word to describe it. The view over looking the vineyards, the smell of wood fired pizza, the quiet conversation out on the shaded deck. Absolutely phenomenal. Bonus points for turning non-wine drinkers like us into not only finding MULTIPLE kinds we enjoy, but leading to us walking out with 6 bottles in hand. Phenomenal pricing and service as well. Now don't share this because we want the place to ourselves :P
Garrett B — Google review
Branches is so adorable & inviting! We were on vacation in the area - this is a must visit. Everyone is so sweet, the owner is amazing! They allowed me to bring my pup and she absolutely loved it. Great food, exceptional wine.
Therese B — Google review
Staying in Viroqua for the weekend so we had to check this place out. Cute, newer, modern winery. I love how they also offer brick fire pizza. You don’t get a lot of wines with your tasting, but the amount is decent. I just wish they would have talked about the winery, it’s story or the wines. Not the end of the world, but I like a good back story. We had a tasting, bought a bottle, ordered a pizza and sat outside and enjoyed the storm rolling in. It was a perfect end do our day before we went back to our AIRNBN. I would definitely come back. Such beautiful scenery out here.

We visit Westby every summer to see family and this is one of our favorite and first stop. The staff is knowledgeable of the wines offered and so very kind and helpful. Great selection of wines ranging from sweet to dry. The view from the patio is absolutely beautiful. What a hidden gem!

Would definitely want to check this place out in the summer with live music. They had good snack variety. The wine was good too!!!
Karly L — Google review
A nice little winery in a beautiful country setting. They have lots of outdoor seating options and the wine is really good. We were a little too early for wood fired pizzas, so I'm definitely going back for that. Over the summer they also have live music. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable.

We had a tasting of the sweet wines, they were amazing! The wood fired pizza was cooked to perfection and the cheese plate was large and delicious! Could use a little more wine inspired shopping but overall a amazing experience!

It's like a 20 ft tall sculpture of a guy riding a bike so yeah it's pretty much exactly what you would expect from a park that is called Ben's Bike sculpture.
Brandon S — Google review
If you’re road-tripping through Wisconsin and love a good quirky roadside stop, Ben Bikin’ in Sparta is one you’ll want to reroute for—just like I did. 🏍️ I literally planned my route just to drive by and snap a pic—and it was 100% worth it. There’s something hilarious and oddly charming about seeing this giant guy pedaling nowhere, looking like he belongs in a steampunk time machine.
Deanna T — Google review
The statue is huge! This is a very nice, small park with an informational shelter and a bridge. Very picturesque. A trail leads to other parks and into downtown. A nice area to stop and enjoy some scenery.

Absolutely one of my favorite experiences ever! It's such a relaxing, out of the way retreat!! Cowboy Joe was super friendly. The cabin was gorgeous! It was way back yonder, with room to breathe fresh air. A VERY WELCOME getaway from city life. My husband and I will be repeat customers indefinitely!!!!!!!

The reserve is so we’ll keep. We stayed at campsite C. Nice short walk in, grassy area off the main trail. Nice fire pit. No other campers could be heard.
Joe T — Google review
Gorgeous center with knowledgeable, helpful staff. Cute gift shop. Center open Monday through Saturday 8 - 4:30. Hiking trails well marked and groomed. Ice caves are a more challenging route. Trails allow cross country skiing, snowmobiling, hiking, biking and horseback riding. Over 50 miles of trails total. Highly recommended!
Kris R — Google review
Great place to get back to nature. The reserve has rustic camping and trails. Lots of room to be alone and still take a short trip into town if needed. Been visiting here hunting and camping for 10 years now. Great management and access. Highly recommended even if for the afternoon!

The winter fest heere in KVR is great. Story telling, sled ride, dog races, coloring snow, checkers, archery, etc. There is a little bit of everything for everyone. We came in a cold, windy day and they have small fires set in the ground watched by a volunteer. You can go over and warm up yourself. Great experience for the little ones too.

Don't listen to the negative reviews as we just spent last night here and everything about it was great. The staff were super friendly and helpful, the food in the restaurant was really good, the slots actually did pay out and the live band up behind the bar was very good and an added bonus. The hotel room was very nice and quiet and the bathroom was very large and nicely renovated. I will say the bed was on the soft side which I was fine with but my husband would have liked it more firm. That's really the only negative thing I would say about our stay. We will definitely be back!
Sandy S — Google review
Went to bingo on Saturday evening and again Sunday am. Jason the supervisor and Tyler were awesome. You are lucky to have them on your staff. Very hard working people. Extremely friendly and helpful. We went to the casino and played slots. It was fun as well the staff were friendly as well. All of the bathrooms we used were extremely clean and smelled nice. We were very happy with our trip there and will be back. Thanks.
Mrs R — Google review
- House keeping doesn't turn off alarms - no blackjack tables after midnight - no fruit or veggies at the buffet - pre-paying for late check-out is completely uncoordinated. We had house keeping not only knock on our do not disturb door but immediately open our door after knocking, again after prepaying for the service, with a sleeping toddler in the room Incredibly unapologetic and horrible hotel service. I would recommend staying elsewhere.
Joey R — Google review
Hotel room was fine few spots needed some TLC like the air vent, filled with dust. Maybe there’s something going on behind the scenes but the employees were very edgy and rude. Not just one from checkin to checkout. Was a quick few hour stop over, worked out but wouldn’t stay again. The Comfort Inn down the road is much better with accommodating staff.
JAY P — Google review
The hotel for cleanliness and quiet is 5 stars, front desk angel Sarah gets 5 stars, smoke free casino gets 10! Not having food options after 7pm gets 1 star. It’s a place where people sleep over, people aren’t eating at 6. So that part was unfortunate, but the rest of the hotel and casino were great.
Jen M — Google review
The hotel is very nice-clean, quiet, safe. I would have liked a breakfast option and the bathroom lighting is a little dim, but generally can’t complain!

Humbird cheese is a large store dedicated to featuring local cheese from Wisconsin in addition to tidbits for the kitchen as well as jams, pickles and sausages. The selection and the variety of the items in the store indicates a talented management with good taste. The customer service is superb. The store is super clean and well organized
Sara K — Google review
I was really hoping for more from Humbird Cheese, but it turned out to be pretty much what I expected. If you're into touristy spots with novelty items, this might be your kind of place. There were a few authentic products here and there, but overall it felt more like a stop to kill time and browse things you can find just about anywhere with a couple of unique exceptions. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype for me. I wouldn’t go out of my way to return. It’s definitely more of a tourist trap than a true cheese shop.
Ryan C — Google review
This is such a cute little shop! It is SO unique and eclectic! There are so many different kinds of cheese, fudge, crackers, meats, and other snacks and trinkets. As a Canadian and hearing that Wisconsin is known for their cheese, this shop proves that!
Jessica ( — Google review
On our recent trip between Madison, WI, and Minneapolis, MN, we stopped here. There is a huge selection with some rarer choices available. They have samples too. Our favorite was the smoked Gouda. Cheese curds, sausages, cheese spreads and great gifts for people who don’t live in Wisconsin are also available. Staff is very friendly and will wax your choices for travel if you wish.This was definitely worth the stop.Would return again and recommend to others!

So much good cheese and very friendly staff. The fudge is also delicious. They have a wide variety of touristy stuff.
Timothy C — Google review
I've driven by this place for years, always curious, but always hurried. I skipped lunch & decided to pay them a visit. The staff were friendly & helpful. Practically every square inch of the large shopping area was jam-packed with touristy priced trinkets and foodstuffs from all over, even other cheese factories. It was a bit much, and it took away from the star of the show, CHEESE! Their main cheese case was up front, containing roughly 50+ cheese varieties. In the back, upright case, I found their smoked string cheese. A bag of freshly dried cranberries, and chocolate mint fudge also made it to the checkout counter. I was surprised everything was prepackaged, and they didnt/couldn't offer samples. But, all my purchased items were fresh, and the best I've ever tasted. It was worth the stop, and a return visit!

First, this museum is done to perfection. It tells you everything you didn't know about cranberries! Second, the gift shop has a lot of handmade local crafts. Third, the food was delicious. It was everything you would expect from going to the local lunch counter. Last, the people were welcoming and the service was great.

Super cute store & museum! Sad we missed the festival by 2 days but worth the drive & a great activity.
Brittany V — Google review
It was a little confusing when we first walked in because there are multiple areas and they wanted to know where we wanted to go (and we needed to know what they had to offer - what our choices were). BTW: the basement is the museum area, the main floor has a gift shop (with everything cranberry) and a restaurant (with some food options and ice cream, including cranberry ice cream - which was good and definitely worth trying). It was interesting learning about cranberry production in Wisconsin (definitely learned a few things).
Chip E — Google review
Nice little gift shop, they also have a cafe but we did not try anything, the museum in the basement is nice gives you a lot of information on the process of cranberries and how they harvest and package them.

Maps listing says they’re open every day but Monday. Their website says they’re open everyday but Monday. The sign on the side of the building says open everyday day but Monday. Here it is a Tuesday and they’re closed. Small sign on the door says closed Monday AND Tuesday. Update your hours online !!! People schedule trips based on things like this.
Shawna N — Google review
It's all about cranberries: growing, harvesting, distributing, and eating. Lunch is served on the main floor and the Discovery Center is in the lower level. Charles was our private tour guide. He farmed cranberries so he knew the history, the equipment, and all the steps from planting to harvest to distribution. Lunch in the roomy cafe was chicken salad on wild rice cranberry bread, chips, a beverage, and cranberry ice cream. Yum! The Discovery Center also has a gift shop filled with all things cranberry.

What a wonderful place. Everyone there was so friendly and knowledgeable. We took our children (age4,6,&8) there and they loved watching the video of how cheese is made start to finish. They loved being able to see the actual workers making the cheese through the windows. The best part was they allowed us to try the cheese curds we just watched them finish making. My kids were so impressed by the “squeaky” cheese. It was Such a fun experience for the whole family. The woman we spoke to was so knowledgeable, patient and informative. We sampled several varieties and my kids loved all of them. Thank you for a great experience!

My visit to the Wisconsin Dells was once again an enjoyable time. I hadn't been to the Dells in over 15 years and wanted to explore a new area. My search led me to Care Valley Cheese Co. and I wasn't disappointed. The variety of cheeses are just amazing. Several are available for tasting. The attendant was very helpful selecting certain ones for tasting that were not already cut in the display. I happily spent approximately $100 on several varieties. Brought the cheese back to Kentucky and invited the family over for a Wisconsin cheese and brats luncheon. I have only a small amount of cheese left and how I wish I could drive over and purchase more, but that's not possible. Just a little too far 😂😂 Thank you for an enjoyable experience and for those reading this review....PLEASE VISIT CARR VALLEY CHEESE CO. The location I visited is approximately 30 miles from the Dells but they do have a location downtown. I just wanted a country drive.
Genia S — Google review
Carr Valley Cheese is an absolute gem! The store itself is wonderful, and the service was beyond polite and helpful. The lady working there (I wish I had caught her name!) was amazing—so sweet, knowledgeable, and spot on with every recommendation she gave. One of the best parts is that the store has samples of everything you’d want to try, which makes the experience even better. On top of that, the prices are fantastic. If you’re in town, don’t miss out on visiting Carr Valley Cheese—you’ll be glad you did! 🧀✨

The cheese is so delicious (everything is amazing and highly recommend trying the aged cheddar) - already dreaming of the next time we can make the trip!

This was my first time here. This is a cute space for great cheese. I LOVE all the free samples. The curd is a must. The bread cheese is great. The spicy beer cheese spread is perfection. The black goat truffle is awesome. We got a variety of cheese, spreads, mustards, jellys while we were there. They have merch and other snacks as well. Really happy we stopped!

We visited the LaValle location and purchased many items from the store. The cheese spread (gouda) was fabulous. All the various cheeses were great. However, we purchased Carr Valley Kitchen Blueberry Jam and this was not acceptable. When we opened the jar there was mold on top of the jam. We have to throw it out so we spent our money on this jam for no reason.

Best cheese ever. I'm from Oregon and always stop to by a small suitcase full. Great verity and nice staff. Cheese can be frozen and then thawed and it's like fresh again.

Very cute winery! Stopped in and shared some Red sweet table wine and a dryer white. Both very good. Cute setting and shop inside! Will return for a tasting!

We stopped here as a harvest host camper. On arrival, I pulled off to the side to avoid blocking the driveway. The proprietor hurried out to make me feel foolish for driving on the grass. He then told me where to park. I asked if we could taste/buy some wine, but he said he'd just closed, and while he wouldn't do a tasting he'd be happy to open the shop so we could spend some money after we got set up. We got set up, and I milled around outside the winery for about an hour. I finally knocked on the door of his house and was told that he'd fallen asleep. He came out a few minutes later and opened the shop so I could buy some wine. Nothing they had really appealed - particularly without tasting it - but I bought a couple bottles because that's what you do when someone lets you drop anchor for a night. Overall I was underwhelmed. The wine was not my cup of tea (generally sweet), the grounds were okay but nothing spectacular, and I generally felt like our being there was an inconvenience to the owner. This is in stark contrast to our typical harvest host winery experiences, of which we've had dozens that were excellent.

The wife and I was told that a glass of wine a day is good for your health. We will be going to different wineries looking for the best tasting wine in the area. As I drove past your Winery, I seen all the Political signs out front of your business. You should have kept your political opinions to yourself. We will not be stopping at Burr Oak Winery and will not support this business in any way.

We were looking for something to do on a rainy Friday Memorial Day weekend and decided to give it a try. The wine was very good! The 4 of us purchased 9 bottles so the wine is worth trying for sure. The employee that was working was very pleasant. She answered out questions and we had nice conversation. She had 2 adorable dogs with her that were fun to pet. Despite the wine being good and service good I gave four stars for the atmosphere. We were the only people there and it was rather dark with no indoor seating. Outside the patio is absolutely beautiful but no chairs set up and overgrown with weeds. To be fair, it was raining and the area has had a lot of rain so it’s possible they have not had the opportunity to get set up. Lots of potential for the patio! We will stop back if we get in the area again.
Terri B — Google review
Just a beautiful and peaceful place. Their wine selection was very good and better than the other fine wineries in the area due to their years of experience and the use of their own grapes to make of their wines. Terry was very nice and her hospitality has very nice to is all. She even allowed us to walk thru the vineyard and taste the grapes. Big selection to choose from and they ship to your home, only purchased 4 bottles only cause I purchased 4 at other wineries and I had to carry with me on the plane. Definitely will be ordering from their website in the future.

I stopped by with a couple of birdwatching friends who had been before. We were on a long drive, so they knew there was a nice picnic spot next to the Visitor Center. The trail next to the Center offered a nice after lunch walk with several nice spots to stop and view the wildlife.
Darin J — Google review
Stopped in a few times now and wow is NNWR huge, easy to get lost. I've only come later in the season when most birds have already migrated. I do see fishing, hunting, and getting fire wood are on the list of things you can do here. Plenty of trails of any length, blinds and observation towers to sit and chill watching wildlife. The visitor center is big, a little shop for souvenirs, leaning center, and definitely kid friendly. Looks like during summer they have plenty of activity's for the whole family.

We were on our way to another state park when signs popped up for this one, so we thought, why not and drove it. Best choice of the day! The visitors center is gorgeous and has lots to offer, including a gift shop we may have enjoyed a little too much haha. I had a great educational conversation with one of the gals about milkweed as I'd never seen it before. Everyone was so helpful and well educated on the park. The bog walk was amazing, I love it when parks have them. I'm totally freaked out by ticks so not having to walk in the tall grass was excellent. So many birds to watch and look for. Some of the birds seem ok with people being around and didn't mind us walking and chatting. Definitely have a stop here, there's a few lookout posts to stop at that have stationary binoculars you can use.

Labor Day so the main building was closed (unfortunate but expected). The nature center path was good, nice boardwalk, good viewing areas, and perfect distance. However, we tried finding the tower trail and it was heavily damaged by logging and could not find the path. The tower was decent, not very high. Then, the boghaunt trail was out of commission (boardwalk broken up). Potential to be great but really ugly first impression. 😕
Bikes W — Google review
Update 09/21/23 So much better than the last time! Absolutely perfect day to be here. Hiked for about 2 1/2 hours, and would have stayed longer if I didn't have other places to visit while in the area before losing sunlight (Ship Rock and Rabbit Rock). I will definitely return again in the future (hopefully while the center is open). This is one of several Wisconsin destinations that everyone should see at least once in their life! I think we came a week or two early, we didn't see very much wildlife. Still, there were beautiful sounds of nature and it is a nice serene area. The view from the tower was very nice, and we liked seeing the few birds, turtles, squirrels, and chipmunks. We plan to go back sometime when everything is green again. Worth checking out if you're in the area, but wasn't really worth the time for as far as we drove to see it at the time we went.

Amazing place! So glad we chose this one over other ones read about in Dells and surrounding areas. My husband, myself and two daughters(11 and 6) had the best experience. Super friendly, down to earth, helpful people. Did excellent job of taking care of the horses and rotating them out. They helped everyone on horse individually, and explained to each person how to handle their horse… this horse is… to go left do this… to go right do this… Nice scenic trail ride. And on ride, guide kept asking how everyone was doing and what to do when going downhill, uphill, etc They took picture of all of us individually on our horses and with our group. No extra charge. Just a really great experience for first timers. We will definitely be going back there!! Thank you so much!

We had a wonderful trail ride experience at Red Ridge Ranch this morning! My mother, myself, and young daughter came for a 10am trail ride and after the staff tacked/readied the horses for the group we were on the trail from 10:30-11:30. They had bags of treats you could buy to feed the horses and they currently have a 1 month old foal (baby horse) you can visit in one of the barns. Our trail leader Colin was very friendly and provided lots of anecdotes about the history and local landmarks along the trail. He asked if our group (3 in our party and another family of 4) wanted to trot along several portions and we all agreed so we got to pick up speed in a few fun spots, which was a great added experience! They put my 7 year old daughter at the front of the group and Colin was able to help her/keep an eye on her horse which was very appreciated! The trail itself was beautiful, wide, and well maintained. Would highly recommend this stable for a great horseback riding experience!
Danneka H — Google review
Riding Stable has friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Colin was leading all the horses my family was riding: total 4 horses. He was keeping all of us engaged throughout the trip. My kids were scared at first but the way he communicated with my kids, it made them comfortable. My whole family had the best time. The lady who helped us get on the horses (I forgot her name) was super sweet and professional. It was worth leaving Canyon Creek (had terrible experience there) and coming to Red Ridge Ranch (best experience).

We had a wonderful time at Red Ridge Ranch Riding Stable in Mauston, Wisconsin! My son and I were paired with two beautiful horses, Silver and Candy. The horses were friendly and calm making it a very pleasant ride. Colin, our guide, was fantastic. He was friendly, patient, and made the ride both safe and fun. The trails were scenic and peaceful. Colin pointed out interesting spots along the trail and is very knowledgeable about the ranch. I liked that they have treats available for purchase. It was an added bonus to be able to feed, pet, and interact with the horses before and after the ride. We will definitely be back.

We had an amazing time at Red Ridge Ranch! The horseback riding was fun, safe, and well organized. Our guide was informative and made the ride enjoyable, and the horses were well cared for and matched perfectly to our experience level. Cindy was especially friendly and knowledgeable, which made our visit even better. Beautiful setting, great people—we highly recommend Red Ridge Ranch and can’t wait to come back!

We did a private ride with Cindy! She was friendly, helpful, and passionate about the Ranch. She told us about the history of the area and her land and gave us recommendations for things to do in the area. We rode Gerry and Sally and they were well trained and easy to ride. It was clear Cindy and her staff take great care of the horses and each other. Red Ridge Ranch also does a Halloween pick your own pumpkin and hay rides in the fall, in the winter the horses do slay rides, and in summer on top of riding, they host a camping trip with the horses in Wildcat Forest. I highly recommend visiting!
Kayla K — Google review
Absolutely amazing experience! The trail is very beautiful and you can tell the horses are well taken care of. The guides get you know your riding experience a bit to perfectly pair you up with your horse, and you also get the choice to trot or not. I will definitely be coming back here :)

Rick Wilcox Magic Theater

Performing arts theater
Concerts & Shows
The Rick Wilcox Magic Theater, located in Wisconsin Dells, is a 550-seat theater opened by master illusionists Rick and Suzan Wilcox in 1999. The 90-minute show features a blend of magic, comedy, and quick wit that keeps the audience entertained and amazed. After the show, guests have the opportunity to meet the gracious hosts for autographs and photos. This unique entertainment experience is constantly updated with new tricks and techniques to ensure an unforgettable evening of grand illusions.
This was my first visit to the Rick Wilcox Magic Theater and it certainly was not a disappointment. Rick & his wife have such a connection with the audience and his magic tricks are unbelievable. He had audience members join him on stage, including children. I loved seeing the awe and excitement in kids who were just blown away with being part of the magic happening right in front of them. At the end Rick and Susan engaged even further with the audience inviting them to ask questions. It's just a brilliant family show that lasted about 90 minutes. Absolutely loved it.

My wife and I were having a weekend trip for our anniversary and decided to buy tickets for the show. We had never been to a live magic show before, and we loved it! The show was funny and entertaining, and the magic was incredible to see live. The illusions were VERY impressive. The show is great for both families and adults with no children. We are already planning to come back next year with friends!

Absolutely phenomenal experience at the Rick Wilcox Magic Show! 🎩✨ From jaw-dropping card tricks to mind-blowing levitation, every moment was pure magic. Rick and Susan Wilcox are not just incredible performers, but their love and affection for each other shine through, making the show even more heartwarming. 💖 Their chemistry is as magical as the tricks they perform! Having been in business since 1991, this show is truly a hidden gem right here in central Wisconsin. I was absolutely blown away by the variety, the energy, and the sheer talent on display. I can’t recommend it enough! If you haven’t been, you’re missing out. ⭐️✨🔥 But it’s more than just a show — Rick and Susan are in the business of genuinely making people happy, bringing light to this world with smiles, and reminding us of the magic we can feel in our everyday lives. 🌟😊✨

This show was AMAZING!!! The magic performances where flawless!! We loved it so much that if they had another show right after the one we just watched we would have bought new tickets and watched it again! Worth every single penny! I cannot recommend this show enough! Buy tickets online and it will save you alittle time.

I've never been to the show before. Growing up it was always something I wanted to do. Now that I'm 40 with a wife and kid (4) we decided to do it. It's a great show! I highly recommend for all ages. It keeps your attention the entire time and Rick is great with the audience, kids and adults. The interaction with the audience is done perfectly. If there's anything you do in the dells make sure going to this show is one of the things to do.

We had a great time at the Rick Wilcox Magic Show today 11-29-24, the day after Thanksgiving! My parents would bring me and my brothers to Rick and Susan’s show when I was a kid (a highlight of our summer vacations in the Dells). Now I’m bringing my own kids (along with grandma and papa still) to experience the wonder. We all had an absolute blast and were on the edge of our seats the entire time! So grateful you guys are still performing in the Dells 25 years later! The tricks and illusions were front and center as Rick and Susan skillfully moved from each set to the next. They’ve really stayed true to their craft, and there’s nothing like live, interactive magic especially when it’s done with such precision, theatricality, and timing—pure art! We enjoyed the Q&A immediately following the performance too which really humanized the show even further. Rick spent time chatting with guests and taking pictures afterwards too in true Midwestern “down to earth” form, salt of the earth. Thank you so much, Rick and Susan for a great show today and for the legacy you’ve continued!

Noah's Ark Waterpark is a sprawling 70-acre family-friendly destination in Wisconsin Dells, known as America's largest waterpark. With over 51 water slides, the park offers a wide range of attractions suitable for all ages. From thrilling tube slides like The Plunge and Monkey Rapids to leisurely options such as lazy rivers and wave pools, there's something for everyone. Special areas are designated for kids, ensuring they have a safe and enjoyable experience.
Loved the park and the whole experience. It was a hot day and wait time was not bad, but that was a Tuesday so don’t mind it if it’s just during the weekend. Plenty of rides, lots of food to pick from(general burgers, tenders, fries, etc..) But your tickets online, with the package that includes food and drink from Johnny rocket or MIA pizza. Wait time was less than 25 minutes and it was not bad.

We went there in August. The weather was a bit cloudy and the temperature was around 78°F. We bought our tickets online, so there wasn't any waiting line to get in! Wow, the park was so beautiful and the weather was just perfect for enjoying after using our devices – it was amazing! Then, suddenly the sky went dark and it started raining, so the park had to shut down the devices activity and ask everyone to head to the shelters. We were in the shelter for about an hour, and it was really pouring rain. After that, it stopped, and the park started getting lively again. We played for about an hour before the sky got dark and it rained again, which stopped everything. We decided to leave the park, and when we were leaving, they gave us another ticket because it was raining today. The customer service was great! The rain really did waste our time. We drove for about two hours to get there, spent the whole day just playing, but ended up wasting time waiting in the shelter and then having to leave early. However, on the other hand, the rain made the park much less crowded, and the lines were significantly shorter than they usually are on a weekend in the summer. So, we weren't that sad about facing the bad weather.

The best time in Wisconsin Dells area !! America 's largest water park !!! We had loads of fun and convenience around the park. The best slides are : Black Anaconda ranks first. Time Warp goes for 2nd. The wave beach is one of my favorites as well. It's a water park duh?!!! You are wet all the way through. Leave your towels in a spot because you won't need it. Even if the Sun is out, you will never be dry. Walk all around the park and one day is not enough to enjoy. Go in at 10 so less people are coming in and enjoy the best time until closing at 7pm. Worth it all the way. Make sure to buy online for convenience and savings. I love this park, we'll be back next year !!!

I've been going to Noah's Ark Waterpark for the past 30 years, and it still delivers some of the best water slides in America. Other parks in the Dells just don’t compare—the rides here are more complex, thrilling, and fun. We went again today, and it was just as exciting as ever. Lines were shorter than usual, and the price was very reasonable. They’re currently running a great deal on season passes—I got one for the price of a single visit, which was an absolute steal. The park is clean, well-maintained, and continues to raise the bar when it comes to water rides. If you’re visiting Wisconsin Dells, Noah’s Ark is hands down the best water park to choose for a top-tier ride experience.
Sean H — Google review
Great waterpark overall! We had a fun time and were pretty happy with how the day went. The only real downside was the long lines for the bigger slides - some were 30 to 45-90minutes, which made it tough to try everything. But I guess that’s just part of the deal during peak season. We paid for priority parking and it was worth it, it’s super close to the entrance and only $5 more than regular. We got there about 30 minutes before opening and were first in line, which I’d definitely do again. We packed light, just towels, dry clothes, and water bottles and everything fit into the smallest locker. Saved a bit of money that way too. Our hotel (La Quinta) gave us a park ticket deal: $20 per person for the whole stay, which was way better than Groupon ($104 for 3 people for a day) or the park’s own price ($124 for 3 for one day). Food inside the park was actually decent and fresh. Expect to pay around $15–20 per meal. The wave pool was a highlight - perfect water temp, tons of space, and really strong waves. Super fun and a great spot to hang out and cool off.

Had amazing time here it did rain for the beginning of the day, but we still enjoyed all the rides. Some of the rides are a little scary but if you’re a thrill seeker, you’ll love it. I guess I’m just a baby ha ha ha. Great fun for the whole family.

Fun outdoor waterpark! A little bit for every age. My kids are 9, 8 and 6 and they had a great time. The park could use some updating, but it was a bit nostalgic so I didn't mind. We bought discounted tickets online and tailgated in the parking lot mid-way through the day to keep costs down. We went on a weekday, so the park wasn't crazy busy and we prefer that. Overall a fun time had by the entire family!

I really wanted to go to Noah’s Ark. I am from Colorado and used to Water World. I thought it was the largest water park in the world. When I found out Noah’s Ark was larger, I had to try it out. I like the park but it’s not my favorite. I would go back if my kids really wanted to go or if I was invited for something. I probably won’t go back on my own. They do have some cool rides. The Raja King Cobra was my favorite. We tried to get on the Black Mamba but after being only 4 couples away from our ride, the rain came down and the park shut down. Disappointing but definitely not the park’s fault by any means. Cool experience and highly recommend giving it a shot. If you stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Lake Delton, you can get tickets from them for $25 each when you stay with them. The tickets are good for your entire stay too. We stayed there but didn’t realize that until after we went to the park.

Stayed last week, Sunday-Wednesday, it had been about 8 years since my last stay. I love the water park and Tom Foolery's Park. Good water slides and the flow rider is a lot of fun. The rooms were clean and well kept. I'm looking forward to the indoor water park expansion in 2026, and I'll have to return in the next year or two. My only complaint: replacing the Chocolate Shoppe ICE Cream with Cedar Crest in the sweet shop. How could you? Chocolate Shoppe ICE Cream is leagues better than Cedar Crest.

This was our 2nd time staying here. Our first time was great, but this time was amazing. We did the Fall for Adventure package. So worth it. The breakfast buffet at Cinco Ninos was so delicious, we went both Saturday and Sunday. Amazing food and service! Our room was so clean. Tom Foolerys was a blast. Brew City food was also delicious. Great Happy Hour specials. The brownies from the Java Cafe 🤤. John the Manager was so amazing to us. Oh, and the Tea Party was spectacular. Highly recommend attending if you can.

We have stayed at the main resort and at the Villas. The resort area is great because everything is there - bowling, arcade style games, laser tag, and go carts. The Villas are beautiful, cozy and Lake Delton is serene. I highly recommend staying here anytime of year. Plus Devils Lake is a short drive and in the fall you can see all the leaves change.

Would not stay here again. There are better resorts and water parks at the Dells. The customer service was lacking and the layout of the place was ridiculous. Why would I want to walk a mile and a half from my hotel room taking 2 elevators and flights of stairs just to get to the water park from my room. I mean who thought this design was a good idea? We definitely won't be back.

Mt. Olympus - Water & Theme Park Resort is the world's largest water resort, featuring 37 waterslides, 3 lazy rivers, and 2 massive wave pools. The theme park is designed around Ancient Greece and Greek mythology, offering roller coasters, outdoor water slides, and go-karts that pass through underwater tunnels. With a variety of accommodations including budget-friendly hotel rooms and a Camp Resort with cabins and tent sites, this resort provides an adventurous experience for all ages.
Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park is a fantastic destination for families looking for a mix of excitement and relaxation. We visited during the summer and had an amazing time exploring both the indoor and outdoor water parks. The outdoor water slides were thrilling, and the wave pool was a big hit with the kids. The indoor park is a great backup in case of rain, and the lazy river was perfect for unwinding. The park is massive, so be prepared to do a lot of walking. The roller coasters and go-karts in the theme park section added even more adventure to our day. We also appreciated the free admission included with our hotel stay—it made everything feel more convenient and budget-friendly. The only downsides were that it got very crowded during peak hours, and food lines were long. It’s best to arrive early and plan breaks to avoid the rush. Also, the hotel rooms could use some updates, but overall, they were clean and comfortable. Mt. Olympus is definitely worth a visit if you’re in the Wisconsin Dells area. Great fun for all ages—we’ll be coming back again next summer!

We have been coming to Mt. Olympus for many years now since my kids were babies and liked the smaller water slides and rides and now they love the bigger water slides and roller coasters. There is always so much to do and they are always adding new things so it is fun to come back year after year. This year my 12 year old requested to go for her birthday and we tried the birthday package and she loved it! The employees are all wonderful. We all had a great time even at the end of August we still were able to go on all the water slides and roller coasters and the lines were not long at all. Thank you as always Mt. Olympus. 🏊🏼‍♀️🎢🎂♥️

A week ago, I visited the park. It was a family trip planned two months in advance. We reserved a hotel room in advance with direct park admission. Everything was great, except that upon arrival and check-in, we had to wait around five hours for our room to be ready since check-in time was 4:00 p.m., and we arrived at 11:00 a.m. It's worth mentioning that we traveled from Arkansas. The housekeepers kindly let us use another room to change and one of my sisters forgot her bag, yes it was our mistake but we were so excited and traveling with children is not an easy task. To make this short, it only took us 15 minutes or less to realize the forgotten bag, we returned to the room and it was gone, we asked the guys and they didn't see anything, the hotel staff and manager didn't show any interest. The bag only had $300 in cash and we said that didn't matter, we were only interested in the IDs and cards. I think they should have a plan to assist customers with these types of problems, since there are no cameras in the hallways or at the hotel entrance. Still we tried to enjoy the park for the kids, because they were excited.

Stayed Saturday through Tuesday. Water park was ok, everything closed at 7 besides the outdoor theme park. Older acquired hotel is definitely not kept up. There are outdoor BBQ areas. The room itself (which we paid dearly for) was the best part. It was very nice but walls were very very thin. They do have someone driving through the lot every now and then. Carpets throughout the halls are very dirty and the elevator was extremely dirty.

This place was great! I took my two sons here 9 and 11 and both were able to do all the rides and enjoyed the entire time. We booked in advance so the room and park rate was very affordable. Food at the park is expensive but that's to be expected. Wait times for most things were not bad the majority of the time. The only complaints I have is I wish there were more drinking fountains in the park, we only found one the whole time. And I wish they would enforce some of the rules more. The amount of times I got hit during go karts when in the out area because people thought it was funny was very annoying. Same with people holding a place in line for a while group to walk past you. But all in all the park was great, it was very clean, and the staff was great at both the hotel and the park. I absolutely would go here again!

Stayed at Mount Olympus with my sons and had a great time in the Wisconsin Dell area. You got free water park there everyday with your stay. Everyone in your group which made it really fun and enjoyable. They have game room there, miniature golf course ,and even a a amusement rides that you can enjoy.
George S — Google review
This was our 1st visit to the Waterpark only, we absolutely had a great day! It didn’t feel like it was over crowded but the lines for the big slides were quite long but it seemed like they moved at a good pace, lots of different age areas for the kids which made it even more enjoyable for our 3 year old. We ate lunch by the Toddler area and their French fries were delicious. Life jackets are available for no charge to use (if you forget to bring one like we did) in different areas of the waterpark. There were ample amount of lounge/sit up chairs available for resting time. Lots of photo ops also available to take for your memory books. Plenty of gift shops and little snack shops around the park, also plenty of restrooms The do have stroller/wagon/wheel chair rentals. If you don’t rent a room it is quite a walk from the parking lot to the waterpark with hills
Curious T — Google review
I'll start by saying that I loved this place. My children and wife were very happy. From the moment we arrived to check in for my room, the staff was very friendly and always had a smile. The room was small but had all the important amenities: hot water, air conditioning, microwave, mini-fridge, and comfortable and clean beds. The parks, both the theme park and the water park, are incredible. I recommend visiting during the week. I arrived on a Thursday and left on a Saturday. Thursday and Friday were incredible; we were able to ride everything without waiting in lines. If you want to enjoy this place stress-free, visiting during the week is my recommendation. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you to all the friendly staff at Mt. Olympus.

Wisconsin Deer Park

Wildlife park
Zoos & Aquariums
Wisconsin Deer Park is a 40-acre petting zoo that has been operating for over fifty years. It offers visitors the opportunity to interact with and feed over 100 deer, as well as other wildlife such as elk, bison, goats, lemurs, and llamas. The park's well-groomed trails provide an authentic experience where guests can get up close and personal with the animals while learning about their life cycles.
So fun and highly recommended! This was our favorite thing to do in Wisconsin Dells!! There's tons of deer just walking around and you can touch and feed them. I recommend buying the $1 deer food cups (inside of the deer park), because the deer will come to you. So fun and great for all ages.
David N — Google review
We had more fun than we expected! Absolutely enjoyable for all ages. We went right as they opened and I highly recommend doing that. It was nice and cool, the deer were happy to see us with the snacks we purchased for them, and it wasn’t crowded. Plenty of places to get more snacks for the deer and a clearly marked area to wash and sanitize your hands.
Melissa C — Google review
We really enjoyed this place. You can buy these wafer crisps for the deer and certain other animals. They will swarm you! I had a bunch of new deer friends following us around. It really was amazing to me. There are other animals as well. We'll be coming back for sure on future Dells trips. My only concern was the one female deer in with the buck, she looked a bit too thin to me. Watch out for deer droppings!
Amber M — Google review
We had a great time at Wisconsin Deer Park- it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip! Before visiting, we saw reviews online saying not to waste money on the crackers sold at the entrance, but we didn’t have any issues with the deer eating them. We visited just after Labor Day weekend (off-season), around noon, and the deer were still very interested in food. Reviews often recommend coming earlier in the day when they’re hungrier, which makes sense, but we found them friendly and eager to interact even at midday. The setup was really special: you walk right through their habitat and the deer will come up to you, follow you around, and even let you pet them while feeding. They clearly preferred food to pets, but the experience was still magical and very safe. The second half of the park especially was full of friendly deer eager for snacks. There are also other animals in the park. Most seemed fine, but the lemurs looked a little understimulated, and the rabbits didn’t make a lot of sense to us since you can’t pet them (they bite). Their enclosures were large enough, but they didn’t have access to grass or roaming space- hopefully they get some time outside of their cages occasionally. Tips for visiting: • Definitely buy the crackers, we had a great experience with them. • Bring lots of quarters for the corn machines scattered throughout the park. • Plan to spend at least an hour or two walking through slowly, especially if you have kids. Overall, it’s a unique and memorable experience that we’d recommend to families visiting the Dells. Getting that close to the deer, and having them walk alongside you is something you won’t forget.
Christine F — Google review
Very clean park with very silly deer. Some of the deer are rather shy. Others will follow you around the whole park. It's nice to see the deer up close and give them some pets. Some of them are just there for the snacks. Others like a good scratch. My favorite part of the whole park was the muntjac deer. It came up to the fence and was very polite. I couldn't resist petting it. It LOVED scratches behind the horns. The other animals there seems we'll cared for. They are kept in smaller enclosures during the day. The different types of deer were very cool to see. Even one of the white tailed deer came up for a snack.

This was an awesome place to visit and I recommend everyone of all ages would love and have fun feeding the deer. The deer were so friendly and followed us while we were walking around. They are all so beautiful ❤️.

Fun and affordable for your family. Our 6 year old really wanted to go. Even the teens were smiling. The deer are friendly. Cute gift shop we got to pick out reminders of our trip at. We bought 10 packs of cracker at the entrance for our family of 6. Could have bought more- there were plenty of hungry deer.
Meaghan P — Google review
A very unique experience - walking through a contained park where some of the deer are free to roam and will definitely walk up to you (if you come bearing snacks). Pleasant experience for the kids and honestly a great way to spend an hour or two while at the Dells.

Timbavati Wildlife Park

Wildlife park

Timbavati Wildlife Park is a family-friendly animal park that has been around for centuries and is home to over 350 animals from more than 70 species. Visitors can enjoy supervised interaction with various animals throughout the park and even take a ride on the Safari Train or a trained camel. The park offers interactive activities such as camel and pony rides, as well as opportunities for children to have close encounters with baby wallabies and kangaroos.
A Must-Do Experience in Wisconsin Dells! Our visit to Timbavati Wildlife Park was an absolute highlight of our trip to Wisconsin Dells. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a clean, well-organized park and incredibly friendly staff. The hands-on experiences are what truly set this place apart. We loved the giraffe feeding—getting up close with such majestic animals was an unforgettable moment to share. The variety of animals is impressive, and you can tell that they are well cared for. The zookeepers were knowledgeable and passionate, answering all our questions and sharing fun facts. The Safari Train Ride was a fantastic way to see many of the animals in a different setting. It felt like a mini-adventure. The park is a perfect size for a day date—not so big that you get exhausted, but with more than enough to see and do to fill several hours. Timbavati offers a genuine connection with wildlife that is wonderful to share with a partner. We can't wait to go back!

We took our kids this past week before the zoo closed for the season. Here is my honest review: The building right past where they have the sloths, baby goats, baby emu’s & tortoises - where the Iguana is housed .. is SOOO NASTY!! It stunk so bad we literally couldn’t even go see the poor animals that were trapped inside. It was awful!! I gagged for about 5 minutes straight after opening the door. I seriously wish I could’ve recorded the smell. The lions den and the tigers den.. PATHETIC!!!!! You can see the pace tracks from them going back and forth constantly. They looked very sad & the enclosures are not big enough for ONE big cat.. they have two stuffed in each enclosure!!! A measly Little Rock pile for them to climb on and a stream of water. Some of the animal enclosures were extremely dirty. The poor monkey was going back and forth his little enclosure and all the spots he stopped to sit & look out the poor thing couldn’t see because the glass was covered in filth!! On the plus side, the train ride was a neat experience. The Lammas came right up to you wanting carrots (you can buy feed.) The parrot experience was fun for the whole family too. Feeding the giraffe was awesome. Climbing the overlook tower was scary, but beautiful at the top. We are planning on going back in the summertime in hopes that the animal enclosures are better maintained!!

We visited Timbavati Wildlife Park on Father’s Day and had a great time! Our group included six adults and three kids (ages 3 to 8), and everyone had fun. There were no lines or long waits, which made the day feel super relaxed. One of the highlights was the free animal encounters—we got to go inside the bird and kangaroo enclosures, which was such a fun and unique experience for all ages. We also did the train ride, which was nice for giving our legs a break. It was helpful for feeding the deer and getting a closer look at the rhino, but aside from that, it didn’t add too much. If you’re okay walking, you could probably skip it, but it’s a good option for anyone who prefers less walking. The park itself was clean, easy to navigate, and the staff were all friendly and welcoming. We grabbed some ice cream by the lion enclosure to cool off before heading out. All in all, it was a great way to spend a Sunday—and we’d definitely come back again!

We had a VIP tour and it was a blast! We got to interact with so many animals and to learn so much information. It was early in the morning so all the animals were active and so cool to watch. We also did sloth and red panda encounters and it was a unique experience. Our kid got to interact with a ball python and now plays with his plush snake saying snakes are his favorite, so it was certainly enriching for him to visit. All animals were well cared for! Great thanks to our tour guide Lane for amazing time!
Victoria F — Google review
Went to the zoo today. We had both the red panda experience and sloth experience. I can't say enough good things about both. The red panda was the best. Came right across our laps to eat grapes. We were able to easily pet Puck(his name). It was so cool. We also fed the sloths and were able to pet them. Our encounter guide, Nicole was outstanding. Ask for her!!!!! Nicole was so knowledgeable and patient. We would go again tomorrow!!!

We had such a special time visiting Timbavati this weekend! The zoo is closed for the season but still offers the animal encounters which was incredible for a private experience. My husband and I met the red panda, Puck and he even sat on our lap. 🥲🥲🥲 We also did the sloth encounter, where we got to feed 5 sloths. Lulu was definitely the star of the show, but we absolutely loved them all. Thank you Sarah who took time to tell us about our animals friends and all their neighbors along the way while we walked through. It was such a special experience and I would highly recommend! We will be back!
Jackie K — Google review
It was great to see the animals and an awesome experience to be able to pet the kangaroos. They have the option to buy animal feed for you to feed the animals too. The train ride was cool and it stopped so that the animals could walk up to the train and people can feed them right there and pet them. The parakeet area was pretty cool, you enter into their spot where they are free flying and might even land on you.
Jamie E — Google review
First of all, we got this free with hotel so expectations were low. But given that, it was better than expected, in that there were a wide range of animals. Many looked sad, and I must say I prefer petting zoos with animals suited to cages. And the whole place has a bit of “seen better days” about out. But there really was a wide range - tigers and other big game, goats and birds and other things to observe. Good for families with young kids.

The food was pretty good. We had an excellent waiter; he made sure everything was good. I got to be the first to try a drink the bartender was making; was very tasty. I do wish they had a buffet, which was what we were originally looking for. I am a big fan of seafood, and not to many places offer a good seafood buffet anymore. A casino offering a seafood buffet would be a hit. Overall, good place to grab a bite to eat.

It is much smaller than the casino in Baraboo but the games are similar and although it was on the weekend that I went there were not too many people so there wasn't any problem finding a parking space and I pretty much could play any game that I wanted to. A stress free enjoyable evening

This museum is so unique and just amazing! The owner Bret made for us almost 4 hours tour (because we needed to leave but there is so much more to see and hear) which was super interesting. Bret is truly passionate about the WWII and all the items and treasures he has in his museum and can tell you so many interesting stories about it which makes this museum so unique! Everybody should visit! Bret, thank you very much for such a great experience during my study abroad in Wisconsin!
Tereza P — Google review
I went here with my family a few weeks ago and as someone who loves WWII my initial thoughts upon seeing the place where honestly less than enthusiastic but I cannot stress how absolutely wrong my assumption was. The owner Brett is an unbelievably charismatic yet humble guy who’s collection of WWII artifacts is hands down unparalleled to anything in Wisconsin but to leave it at that is only the half of it. For each artifact that Brett has in his immense collection he has an incredible story and background to it that will undoubtedly capture the interest and imagination of even the least interested person, a few will even likely put you on the verge of tearing up (myself included). As someone who’s visited Smithsonian’s museums several times this place looks like a hole in the wall from the outside but the experience that me and my family felt by the time we walked out of this little portage WWII museum was something I have absolutely no doubt any of us will ever forget. As far as I’m concerned this, to me, is was put portage on the map. Brett thank you for your commitment and immense respect to this part of our nations history and to those who were a part of it and also for keeping the stories all of which you retold so wonderfully alive.

The WW2 Museum in Portage, Wisconsin is a must see for everyone. Brett runs the museum and he has a huge collection of rare and unique items from WW 2 and other military conflicts. Brett know the back story on all the item and I guarantee he will have many things you have not seen. I highly recommend this tour to everyone. We drove from Texas to see the museum and we were not disappointed. Great job Brett.

I am editing my review based on what I woke up to this morning. My social media was filled with the same behaviors nationwide in nearly every theatre. It would not be fair to judge the business by some stupid online trend occurring everywhere. That being said, it still doesn't sit right with me that there were 3 people sitting next to each other on the outside 3 seats across from the walkway light in the middle on the who had their phones raised the entire movie recording and another 4 on the right side and you somehow didn't see that. Twice. If I return, hopefully there will be something in place to address that issue instead of relying on people to complain.

Stevens Point Brewery, located in Stevens Point, WI, is one of the oldest continuously operating breweries in the United States. The brewery offers regular tours where visitors can witness the beer-making process, explore the warehouse, and sample a variety of craft beers, ciders, and soda. Additionally, they are known for their Snow Pilot beer and offer convenient curb-side pickup.
What a fun place! The tour costs $10 and you get drink tickets and a glass worth over $20 total. Great vibe to the place. It’s the second oldest continuously run brewery in the US!

Loved the huge selection of beers and ciders. We went on a tour and it was interesting but wished it had a little more history of the brewery rather than general info about beer. Live music outside on the day we went so that was great. Got to sit outside, enjoy the beautiful day, and there were even a few pups outside with their families too. Will go again!

I have been through Steven’s Point many times. This was our first time stopping at the Point Brewery… Why did I wait so long??!! It’s a cool little stop in a residential neighborhood that seems like an unexpected area for a brewery. We stopped in just to see the place. We didn’t have time for the tour, but wanted to check out the buildings, tasting room retail shop. Let’s just say… this place is worth a stop. Our recommendation . Buy the tour ticket for $10. You get a free pint glass and 4 sample coupons. Get your self four 7oz samples in the tasting room which is perfect. And less expensive since a sample costs $6 on its own if you buy it at the bar. If you don’t use the sample coupons you can turn them in for a bottle of beer in the gift shop. Two coupons gets you one bottle. The tasting room is reminiscent of an old world bar and worth the stop on its own. There is a large outside area for sitting with great tables, and ambiance. Stop in at the point brewery. Worth your time even if going a few miles out of the way. And, you can get their beer by the bottle or case in the retail shop. And they have many varieties. More than I ever knew!!

Great place to learn and sample. $10.00 tour, 4 samples and a souvenir glass, can’t be beat! There’s a small gift shop, an outdoor beer garden and a really nice bar. Plenty of beer and cider varieties to try.

We attended a Suprise birthday party here for a family member last Sunday. We found the Tap Room cool and inviting - a great place to take your friends and have a beer and watch an event on one of their large TVs. The tap room was connected with both their gift shop and a large, indoor eating room, which looked out through a wall of windows and doors to a private, fenced in area, where we had our private event. The tap room offers a selection of beer and tasty sodas, plus pizza and a few snacks. Reasonable prices! We were allowed to bring our own food for our party. The outdoor area was fenced in and featured both tables and sturdy chairs in the under roof patio area, plus some picnic tables under umbrellas in the grassy area. The facility offered corn hole games and a huge Jenga set for the kids to play with. Good service from the friendly staff made the event easy to happen. Clean bathrooms. Wheel chair accessible. I wish we lived closer because I'd make it a point to drop by occasionally.

This is one of my favorite brewery tours. It’s fun for all ages. You get a pint glass and get to sample beer, cider or sodas. I did not make a reservation for the tour but it’s recommended. Outdoor patio is fantastic. Carry in food is allowed.

They were so nice and helpful! We had a 3 year old in our group snow tubing and they helped us with her, the hill she was on was slick and one of the employees was helping her get back up the hill. Very accommodating. We had a blast as a family and would absolutely go back! We stayed in the Dells and none of the places were open for the season yet so we made the hour and a half drive here and do not regret it at all!!

Beautiful place. Me and my family loved it! I went with some friends and some of us were beginners for skiing and we got it pretty well because the instructor told us very good tips. I think we had Jason for our instructor. He was really nice and good at teaching. I am definitely going back. Tons of different options for runs and different levels of difficulty. My favorite ones were Lighting and Nordy's Narrows. Recommend especially for beginners. Once you're ready for the chair lift ask them to make it go slower if its your first time. so much fun totally recommend! At the beginning there was like no line but I went on a weekday evening. You should go!

First time here. Grandkids joined their school ski club. Had a great time!! The staff was all very friendly and very helpful! Small runs. Nothing over 1 black diamond. Unfortunately, a blown out knee kept me from skiing with the kids. I grabbed a bite to eat from their Nordys Bar upstairs. Super friendly bartender. The food was really good, but the fries... wow, best I've had in a very long time!! I had the BLT! Over all...will definitely recommed folks coming out to learn and enjoy a day of skiing! Didn't get over to the tubing area, so cant review it.

My wife and I skied here with our 3 grandchildren today. What a wonderful Wisconsin family resort! We spent 5 hours here. Our 4 year old was zipping around the beginner area like Peekaboo Street. The 15 year old was snowboarding all over, the 11 year old was just doing his own thing while I was skiing all over the place trying to give everyone tips. My wife was busy capturing memories on her camera. What a great staff on the hill and in the chalet. Hats off to Nordic Mountain. If you want to bring your children to a great place to learn and enjoy a winter day this would be it. Thank you Nordic Mountain!!

The snow resort was a perfect romantic getaway. We enjoyed cozy atmosphere and stunning views. The snow covered trees and twinkling lights were picturesque. We took some amazing pictures together. Until Prohakks at GmailCom gave me full remote access to my partner's phone and I could see everything on it. Then, I could see myself that she had been cheating on me!

This place is worth the drive out of the way. All the resort's tubing was sold out so made the hour-and-a-half drive. Super fun for everyone. Priced fairly was glad it wasn't busy at all went the whole two hours tubing with no wait. Great customer service great staff. The parking was not as good if I had a drawback. I would recommend this 100 times. 5 star fun

We had an absolute blast tubing at Nordic Mountain! The whole experience is fantastic. Easy to reserve tickets online and pick up before starting. Once you check in, you have 2 hours of tubing fun (unless you want to go longer.) The bathrooms were clean and the firepit us a nice touch on a cold day. The ride up is a bit wobbly til you get your footing but so nice to not hike up the entire hill. (Note, you do walk a bit to the escalator thing but it's not bad.) We will definitely be returning for more fun and maybe for some skiing (which also looked nice.) It was the best way to spend the last day of my 30's hahaha.

We had a great day skiing at Nordic. I have skied at Nordic for 30 years. This is my son's 3rd year. Lots of improvements this year. New boots and helmets! New terrain training area. It was a warm week and they made plenty of snow. There are a variety of slopes for different skill levels. There is a good mix of snowboarders and skiers. The yurt is big and great for warming up. You can bring your own food in the yurt. Inside there are concessions.

Our family lives down the street and so we stayed at the Inn. What a great decision that was! Owners were accommodating of our early arrival and late return in the evening. The room was so lovely and fit our needs perfectly. Would love to review the food but we didn't eat there -but am sure it is as great as the rest of the experience. Highly recommended!!
