Imagine it is a very hot summer. You want to get away for a long weekend to relax and cool off, but where do you go? Wisconsin Dells! It is a short 3 ½ hours from Joliet and totally worth taking a drive.
Visiting the
Dells is a great idea for the family. My family visits all the time and we still
find new and fun activities. The summer is the best time to visit, because
there are indoor and outdoor waterparks. There are so many options of places to
stay but I highly recommend Great Wolf Lodge. There are three adjoining indoor
waterparks and an outdoor waterpark. They also have a lazy river and multiple
kiddie pools. When you book a room in this specific lodge, they include 4 waterpark
passes that are valid the whole time you stay.

While staying
in the Dells there is a lot to do. My all-time favorite thing to do when I visit
is go-cart. I love driving fast and having my hair blow crazy in the wind. A
child must be 4 feet 8 inches tall to drive, however, if a child is not that tall they can be accompanied by an adult in a double seat go-cart.
There is one
activity that can only be done in the Dells, and that would be taking an
Original Duck Tour. These tours are given on vehicles that drive on land but
also become a boat when they hit water. They were originally used in World War
II. They travel through 8 ½ miles of breathtaking nature showing you the natural
beauty that the Wisconsin Dells has. This was an amazing time, and it was unlike anything
I’ve ever done before. 
This is the
perfect place to visit because it is not too far from home and there is so much
to do and see! No matter the age of your children they will enjoy themselves! It
is a vacation I would still enjoy going on today.
Have you
visited somewhere amazing and want to share? Please do! I’d love to hear about
your experiences and favorite places to visit!
