The 25 best sights in Wisconsin Dells (2024)

5 lists

Awesome place to go to during the summer, but not so much after Labor Day. Indoor waterpark have less things to do especially for lil kids. Nice staffs.

Best experience for kids and adults. We didn't stay in the resort.Acceptable cleaniness.Bit busy on weekends, so prepare accordingly.Park is huge so prepare to walk a lot.Plenty of options to eat inside the park and outside.Reentry allowed with wrist band incase you have food cooler in car for lunch.Pack bag for swimwears and changing clothes so you don't have to make multiple trips to car for getting clothes.Best is that water and theme parks are combined.Lot of rides for kids as young as 4 years to adults.

I went last summer and if you’re thinking of going this year, just don’t waist your time or money. Every line to each attraction was ridiculously long. The wave pool, which is literally huge, had people in it standing shoulder to shoulder. There were absolutely no free chairs. I get that places can be busy but there should be a standard for how many people can even buy tickets for the day when there’s that many.

Went here because my daughter loves greek mythology and insisted we visit. We stayed in the resort rooms and it was less money that way. Wasn't sure if it was worth it, but we really enjoyed it. Cool shops and nice places to eat. The funnel cakes are great! The 9ft wave pool was by far our favorite. Only stayed for two nights, so we didn't see everything. Great stop and fantastic for kids

We stayed over Xmas weekend and honestly, it's the little things that made not give 5stars. We stayed on property which was nice and we had a 1st floor room which was also really nice and easy and close to the main door. Booking wasn't exactly clear or easy online and I got nervous at first. I've heard horror stories about staying off property and wanted to make sure we were staying at hotel Rome where the actual Waterpark was. Figured out when I called, no big deal. Check in was off property which was actually kind of nice because as soon as we got there we just got out of the car and went straight to out room and didn't have to worry about chasing excited kids around the lobby. Got in the room and it was a decent size room! But... no true storage area. Our things were somewhat scattered throughout the room the whole stay... which again, no big deal but would have been nice to have even a small dresser or table other then a shelf thing under the TV... but couldn't use it as a table because we used it as a storage area... disappointing, especially for how much dead space there was as well as money we spent, but again, no big deal. The beds were a bit small but were comfortable, the TV was very small and I wish there was some kind of guide page to know what the chanels were but again, no big deal, we spent most of our time out of the room anyway.Where I did get upset was when we opened the fridge... we did store food like lunch meat, milk (lactose free so almost $5/half gallon) , cheese, mayo... a few other things. I did notice that the temp was a little warm but it was also set to 1 out of 5.... thought maybe it's just set to the warmest setting. Left to the water park and came back ready to make sandwiches and realized we forgot bread, thought we could get some from the little store but they did not carry any food Iike that! Remember that when staying, you will not find old and ends there. We ended up getting McDonald's... went to sleep, woke up ready for cereal and come to find out..THE FRIDGE WAS UNPLUGED THE WHOLE TIME!!! We lost maybe $30 in food and ended up eating out again!! Which is fine... but there was nothing I could do at the point we were at.When on the bumper cars, 2 of the cars we rode on didn't work but we had to wait until our time stopped until we can get up and change, fine, it happens. I ended up sitting on the sidelines when we had a chance to ride again. My daughter got hit kind of hard and hit her teeth on the stering wheel.. the girl running it was very sweet but did not stop the ride right away. She ran over to around where she was and just started asking from a far if she was OK. My daughter was crying and holding her mouth saying no and finally after a min or so, she ran back over and to stop it but at this point I opened the gate and started looking at the controls trying to figure out where the emergency stop at so I can get her... I don't understand why she didn't stop it to begin with because my daughter was screaming and my other daughter started freaking out for her. She was OK for the most part but did hit it enough to start bleeding... no one came to check on her, which is fine, like I said shewas okay, I got her an icee but feel like it should have just been given to her...The rest of our trip was great! The Christmas lights were amazing.I just couldn't help thinking about these little things where I felt cheated or wronged... not enough to say it was a bad trip but I spent extra money or wasted money where I didnt need to or shouldn't of... not that I didn't come prepared but how was this fair?This was our first time visiting Mt. Olympus but we visit the Dells every year. Other resorts we've stayed at have an area to rent games or movies which I wish this had as well but I didn't see anything saying they did but I also didn't ask.Might say again but better prepared knowing what to expect now...1-check the fridge2- they don't have odds and ends3-movies/games4- no storage area

We had a fantastic stay at Mt. Olympus. My family and I enjoyed our time at the outdoor water park as well as the indoor arcade. The fun and laughter shared during our stay will be cherished memories that we will always hold dear. Everything was near by and that was a plus.Looking forward to the next opportunity to visit again.

This place was a blast, great fun for the entire family. They have pools, water slides, roller coasters, go karts, and kiddie rides. They also have the normal theme park foods as well as a dime in restaurant, bars, candy store, and gift shops. Lines are long but not as long as great America.

We bought tickets last year 5 for $20. If you pay more then that it isn’t worth it. Very very small indoor water area. A lot of construction. Rollercoasters are very jerky. Worst then last year. Indoor theme park closed.Tons and tons of walking. $25 for parking is outrageous considering how much walking you need to do from the lot to even reach the water area. Food was overpriced like other waterparks in the area. Overall unless you get a great deal on entrance I would go to Noah Ark instead.

Booked and paid in advance, got to the resort the day of check in and price was much less to pay the day of check in. Spoke to staff how offered a credit, much appreciated. Building 16 - not close to the water park we had to drive down each time. The beds were horrible, room lacked enough towels, no paper towels near sink, no iron. The parks indoor area with the hot tub closed for Saturday and could not find towels for the outside water areas right away; communication was lacking.Still a much needed memorable experience for my family just not as good as 8 years ago when we came.

I booked my tickets online. When I checked the room that I was given I was highly disappointed the carpets were disgustingand the room smelled funky and you could tell they didn’t even cleaned the windows or mirrors. I went to complain to one of the persons that checks in people and she gave me another room at a different location that they had and I was happy with the outcome. They didn’t give me a hard time at all and were able to find a resolution to my problem. I was happy and my family had fun at the water park and the roller coasters. I had a great time here. Just remember not to book a standard room because those normally have carpet. It would also be nice if the other buildings had a guest laundry the one we stayed at didn’t have one.

My ten year-old son and I just returned from three most enjoyable days at Mt. Olympus. Unfortunately, Mom was recovering from the flu, so it was a boys-only vacation, but huge fun nevertheless. We had booked at the Hotel Rome which included access to the resort. Being March, all the outdoor attractions were closed, but we were able to fill a couple of days at the indoor water park.First off, the rooms are nothing like as grim as reported by other reviewers. Having checked in at a remote location and fighting off the insidious peddlers of timeshares, we headed to the Hotel Rome, building 1. We were easily able to park a few yards from the main entrance and quickly found our way to the third floor. Somewhat perturbed by some raucous parties in rooms close to the elevator, things seemed to quieten down the further away we headed.Our room, equipped with two queen beds and a bunk, seemed perfectly adequate. Sheets were nice and soft and everything was as clean as could be expected for a room that sees hundreds of visitors a year and, best of all, there were no bedbugs. We had been concerned about noise levels, so had brought a white noise machine which we used every night in spite of our room being as silent as a tomb after 9pm.Storage space in this room was a bit of a joke, so we essentially lived out of our suitcases for the entire visit. Similarly, the TV had little to offer, so we either read or gamed when we returned in the evenings.Just off the lobby, the hotel offers an arcade that I would frankly not recommend to anyone who isn't keen on the prospect of bankruptcy. The claw machines are a total ripoff (as they usually are) and the tickets buy practically nothing at the shop. Think of Steve Martin in The Jerk. Similarly, the indoor theme park is a waste of time, as only the bumper cars are free, the arcade games are rigged and the whole thing is a bit tawdry.As for the water park, this is the place to go, offering a couple of really great rides and plenty to keep a ten year old occupied for almost an entire day. My son rode the Hydra 21 times and queued up eight times for the absolutely thrilling (and incredibly scary for this older gent) Medusa's Waterwheel. This is a marvel of water park technology, and should not be missed. Unless you have a pacemaker, that is.If you can visit the Hotel Rome when the rates are good, this is a great value. You will need to eat and drink off-site, though, as the catering here is abysmal. Otherwise, go for it!

The tickets were a great price! The food was okay, you would have thought for the price you’d gotten more burger or condiments. Finding a table on the other hand was hard. People had set their towels, cups, or shoes on a table so people couldn’t eat on them. People would hog the tables leaving none to actually sit and eat. The life guards were not friendly, not one of them smiled back at me or my son. One life guard was sitting with his feet propped up on the controls while kids were getting on the tube for the medusa slide. The light was flashing red and he still let them get on and go. Seen one life guard dozing off as we were floating in the lazy river. The bathrooms had tiny stalls and no privacy for showers or mothers. I had to change my son in front of a bunch of other people. I’m a single mom so there was no giving him to his dad. I was disappointed with the customer service, locker/bathrooms, dinning and staff. The locker rental was $30 for all day, kinda expensive so I could see why people set stuff on tables. Will possibly return but with less expectations.

We upgraded our rooms to the highest option and we were not impressed.The toilet is child-sized, the beds are not comfortable at all, and the towels - we went and bought our own after the first night, there’s no coffee in the room, no breakfast options….The theme park would have been cool if the rides were open. We assumed the listed attractions would be open during our stay (May), but only 3 rides were available.The waterpark was our favorite part. The kids played for hours. Good slides 👍🏼

i was severely disappointed with my stay. my room had a window that led directly into an empty hall and there was no natural light. the room said it was 2 queen beds but there is no way the beds were queen sized, full sized at most. and lastly i am so disappointed with the fact your employees think it is acceptable to park in disabled spots for ease of work. so sad to see the dells has gone downhill. i tried contacting but they did nothing.

Bought tickets in advance and got lucky on a weekday that wasn't too busy. The line to the new slide was still too long and none of the other new indoor attractions were completed. One of the main rollercoasters was also under construction so we didn't get to do 2 of the main things we wanted to. Everything else had decent lines though. Food is about what you would expect. We got a whole pizza which was the best deal by far but not even on the menu. They could use a few more restrooms and "you are here displays" since you have to ask for maps now and they are only available at the gate. Also somewhere outdoors to just rinse off, some mist fans and a few more food carts would be nice. Fair warning, their underground rollercoaster can be scary even for adults, not to mention loud underground & jerky as it is wooden but worth trying just worth a long wait. Overall not a bad choice if you're going to the Dells.

We brought our infant, 2 year old, 11 year old, and teenager. There was a tiny stand in pool with slides for the toddler. That was it! That pool was inside and very hot. Absolutely no air flow.Several water slides were under construction and unusable to guests.They had a couple of rides for the toddler and kids but it was very few and far between.The rooms were not very clean.I wouldn’t recommend this place for family with small children at all!

Room wasn’t checked on during stay. Had to get our own towels/washcloths. Hair in clean towels was super gross. Beds were super uncomfortable. We woke up every morning with terrible back pain. Toilet ran every time you flushed it. Water at the water park was not warm. Overall first stay was just ok.

The kids had a lot of fun. But very long wait lines, and way over crowded. We went on a Saturday. Over all it was a great trip we just didn't get to do much because the lines were so long and we only had about 5 hours and waited an hour to ride go carts. The wave pool was AWESOME, I'd say that was all of our favorite part.

Pretty expensive. Life guards were rude. The motel was nasty. Hair in the bathroom drain and old crumbs smashed into the carpet. Small thin blanket. Smallest bathroom ever. Hair on the soap holder in the shower. Only 3 towels but 4 guests. Not very family friendly motel room. We also saw house keepers bringing blankets on their necks from somewhere. It was 88° I don't think that's how they should transport blankets. No wifi as advertised. That was hell in its self. The kids are ages 6 and 8. They had a blast so I guess that's all that matters. Money hungry business is all they are.

Theme park was great! Waterpark was basically not usable due to the water temperature being torturously cold. And this was in the middle of June. Luckily the kiddos, four to fourteen, loved the rides at the theme park. Parks were nice and clean. Employees were very courteous and helpful.

Me and my parents stayed here for two nights, the rooms were okay. There really cool but need to be updated and cleaned a bit better. We accidentally bolt locked our door then got locked out and staff was absolutely so sweet about it and not rude at all. My mom met the owner and he was super amazing, also not rude at all. The staff is extremely nice here and the slide lines seem to go by fairly quick. It was quite packed but that’s really any waterpark you go to. Even though nothing outside was open they actually had go karts open, the track was fun and really no wait at all It was quite hard to breathe inside of the waterpark though. All the chlorine makes it super hard to breathe other than that, I’ll definitely be coming back this summer so we can come when everything outdoors is open!

Of all the things to do in the Dells Mt Olympus was by far the most fun for the money. Bout 35 bucks a person for the whole day of both theme park and water park. The roller coasters were a blast of fun, such a thrill ride felt like my heart was ready to jump out of my chest, like we hit the reset button felt great. The water park was a great follow up, the lazy River really booked quick. Getting to the big wave pool was the best, rather than a bunch of waves it does one huge 4 foot wave every couple minutes. Everyone gets close as they can to feel the giant wave pick them up and drive them back 20 feet. So much fun, highly recommend making Mt Olympus a day trip while in the dells.

They have bedbugs. I pretty much spent my entire weekend going back-and-forth and having the managers gaslight me that there were NO BUGS IN MY ROOM. When I showed up at the main office and showed video proof, they claimed it was not a bedbug. I then ask, if it wasn’t a bedbug what was it so I could look it up, the manager claimed to not know 🤣 exactly, because it is a bedbug. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

I supposed to stay tonight. Me and Kids. First night my kids don’t like it the bed a horrible no room service the staff had a bad. Experience Ask them if can have a service room. They said it. No even I didn’t finish two night. Ask manager if can get my money back because kids don’t like it the hotel room beds a horrible.

Majority of the roller coasters there were very fun! Have a variety of go gart tracks! Didn't do swimming/waterpark stuff. Not much shade anywhere. Indoor theme park was boarded up. The waterslides that used to be on the hill-all gone now. A restroom was dank/old. Don't go on Pegasus! That coaster was bumpy, jerky, not fun nor pleasant At All-Terrible ride... Zeus & Cyclops was great!!! Hades was fun But... I'll let you experience that for yourself. It would be awesome if they had more amusement rides.

I take almost a yearly summer trip to Mount Olympus with my family and it's always been great. However, these past few years, the prices have skyrocketed. I literally remember $20/$30 tickets with maybe $20 parking.This year, parking was a whooping $40. The same price as a ticket to the park itself. That's about $120 for just a family of three (minus additional food and ride prices). That's not worth it to me.The park itself is still fun, and I know they have ticket sales from time to time, but this is kind of ridiculous. I won't be coming back here for a while.
