Very nice set! We did the same tour in late August. We too passed on the very wet ‘duck boat’ option! Perfect weather. A good guide—-ours was an out-of-work-due-to-covid opera singer. He even sang for us!
Another great site about an hour south is Frank Lloyd Wright’s home and school, Taliesin. Toured that before visiting relatives in Cedar Rapids.

Thanks dbfalconer......for sharing your perspective of visiting the Wisconsin Dells and for enjoying my set. Smiling,
......that you passed on "the very wet duck boat option!" We've done one of those elsewhere years ago......Boston! Sounds like you had a great singing tour guide and his tips probably increased greatly! I've also been to Taliesin ......seems like a lifetime ago. If ever in the area I would do it again.

Thanks for the pictures. I always thought the Wisconsin Dell’s was an amusement park.
Hi danoliver.......So happy you mentioned that you always thought "the Wisconsin Dells was an amusement park." I thought the exact same thing and almost didn't want to go!! My wife convinced me otherwise, but even when we got into the area I was hesitant about some of the amusement type places we were passing. So I made a point of finding a quiet hotel, off the beaten path and real close to where we caught the boat. Once we did the Dells......we left the area for further travel on many of the back roads of Wisconsin which we found very picturesque and enjoyable. Thanks for enjoying the pictures and getting a better vision of the Dells. Bob

Nice photos!
The H.H. Bennett Studio & Museum in downtown Wisconsin Dells is a very interesting place to visit.
It "documents the history of the Wisconsin Dells and the life of H.H. Bennett, whose stunning landscape photographs helped showcase the beauty of the Wisconsin Dells and the Driftless Area, attracting some of the first tourists."
It's closed for the season now, but this website can provide more info.

Aloha AzPicLady.......I'm sure the Dells left quite the impression on you when you were a "very young child." Thanks for sharing that insight and happy you caught this set of photos and recalled some nice memories. Bob

Fine shots, great memories. The Polynesian Hotel and Waterpark was a paradise to my children when they were young! They didn't appreciate the geology and other attractions as much as the adults. And then, there was House on the Rock!
Thank you quixdraw......for appreciating my photos on the Dells & for enjoying some memories from your visits. Interesting to hear about your children's perspective......which I can certainly understand. We mainly did the Dells and left for travel on the back roads of Wisconsin. Since we were there in October it appeared that the waterparks & pools were empty! So my brain pretty much tuned them out! Point of interest.....we lived in Hawaii for 18 years where both our daughters were born, raised and loved! Thanks again and Aloha, Bob

Very nice set, thanks for sharing. I haven’t been to the Dell’s since the mid 50’s. Did bring back memories.

Thanks 317tman......for checking out my Dells post. Glad it brought back some good memories for you. Probably hasn't changed much since the 50's. Bob
