Dine Time
Clink steins with your crew at Hofbrewzhaus & Campsite Beer Garden. The new restaurant flaunts a vast selection of German beer and fulfills your schnitzel-and-big-pretzel dreams.
Big Thrill
The hills are alive with the sound of rolling. Wisconsin Dells Mountain Coaster is built into the naturally elevated landscape. Let gravity take over as you zoom down in a self-operated cart – you determine the speed.
It’s time to pick your Milwaukee favorites for the year!
Eye Candy
Lasers beam across trees at Aquavia Lumina at Wilderness Resort. The multimedia experience swallows you up, providing a moving, music-filled storyline visible on the sandstone walls and tree canopy of the resort’s “canyon.”
Classic Upgrade
If a swanky martini joint isn’t broke, don’t fix it. Just enhance it, like The Del-Bar Supper Club has, with its spacious new lobby lounge bar, where you can enjoy a cocktail and apps before dinner.
Staying the Night?
Kalahari’s new treehouse guestrooms give glamping a run for its money. These 21 branch-cradled quarters, opening this summer, overlook Lake Delton and offer visitors access to a beach, gazebo and boat slips.
What if you could bring an indoor waterpark outside? That’s the question posed by a big project at Kalahari, which is adding 75,000 glass-enclosed, open-air square feet to its water play area – under a retractable roof. The expansion – with three new waterslides, a zero-depth pool, swim-up bar and “tanning ledges” – is set to open in fall 2026.
