Only in Downtown Dells

Area tourism sprang up around downtown and the Wisconsin River. Today it's called the Dells River District. What's found in Downtown Dells? Scenic beauty, for one, the meandering river and towering sandstone bluffs. There's tons of shopping, with everything from classic moccasins to art glass and antiques.

Food has to be included. Especially fudge and an eclectic mix of ethnic restaurants. Entertainment? Absolutely - and much of it is free. What's more, mini-golf, amusement parks, haunted houses, a state historical site and festivals are all part of this downtown too. More than 200 offerings make up Downtown Dells. Better block out at least a day for this entertaining opportunity.
