My wife finally got to see the Wisconsin Dells last week. We went up and stayed at a nice resort for a few days. We did the duck boats and all the usual tourist stuff. Had a good time. I had not been there since college days.
I must say it is super commercialized, almost like Gatlinburg.
If you are ever up there, right downtown on the strip is a tiny little bar and grill called Monk's. I had the best burger and sides I ever came across in my life!
There is a sign out front with a monkey on it. There was a black family out there and I saw one guy point at the sign and tell the other guy "that looks like you", and they all laughed. If we did that we would be crucified.

Also a really cool place called Lost Canyon. A horse-drawn wagon trip through a REALLY narrow canyon.

If you are in the Dells in the Fall OR the Spring, you have to drive 70 miles East to Horicon Marsh. The amount of bird life there during the migration is mind boggling. They said that over 300 species of birds have been seen there at Horicon. If you are a waterfowl hunter, you will be drooling.
When in college, I had to do a few field trips to Buena Vista Grasslands in Wisconsin Rapids to count Prairie Chickens.
