When the days are long and warm, there’s just one place to go, whether you live in Wisconsin or beyond: the Wisconsin Dells. The Waterpark Capital of the World has cooled off generations of travelers and today there are more ways than ever to have fun in the Dells. Here’s a look at why the Wisconsin Dells is *the* ideal destination for summer fun in the Badger State.

The Wisconsin Dells has a very long history as a summer tourist hotspot. Way back in 1856, a man named Leroy Gates started taking people on boat tours. Since 1946, motorized “duck” boats have been offering tours. The Original Wisconsin Ducks has more than 90 vehicles and is the largest operator of duck tours in the United States.
