We were planning to go late July/early August. I wonder if things will be operating in a normal summer fashion. Ohhgod, if you do go soon, give us an idea of how the flooding is affecting The Dells. |
It was a great time today! (Saturday). It wasn't too crowded, and it was fairly easy to get around. HOWEVER, it took us 4 hours to get there from home (took us only 2 hours to get home) because 90/94 is closed, and had to take 12 all the way into the Dells and so did everyone else. *sigh*. It was like stop and crawl the whole way from Sauk City all the way to the Dells.
The rides were all open, and all tours were on. Tommy Bartlett did only a stage show, since their water is gone.
The River is HIGH. The upper boat tour is shortened a bit because the docks are under water and at Stand Rock landing you can't go exploring because the docks are under water.
The Original Ducks was also changed, but they did take us by the devastation and where CTY RD A was washed out. It was amazing to see the devastation. The Lake is so completely almost dry. The biggest attraction seemed to be a bridge over Dells Parkway that goes right over what was Lake Delton. It was the most striking picture of the Lake being empty. Absolutely amazing.
But yeah, I recommend. Not too bad at all. We're going back up July 4th Weekend, and possibly sometime again before July 1st.
Today we only spent $102 for all 7 of us, which consisted of 4 Margaritas and a nice dinner at Uno Pizzeria.
I packed our food in coolers, and we used our Summer Kick off Books for free attractions. We rode the Ducks, Lower and Upper Dells tours, three of our boys did the jet boats, Tommy Bartletts Exploratory and Knuckleheads Entertainment Center.
Was a fun and VERY cheap day!
