Lake Geneva Resort
Waterparks in Illinois/Wisconsin?
We have two 7 year olds and are looking for a great place that has a cool waterpark and other activities. We’d probably spend 2-3 nights there. We’ve been to Timber Ridge in Lake Geneva and would like to try some place new. We’ve never been to the Wisconsin Dells before, and I’m afraid it will be just way too crowded for a trip in June. Any suggestions? I’ve heard Blue Harbor Resort in Sheboygan was good. I’d love to hear about any personal experiences. you may have had with family waterpark vacations.
The dells actually don’t get too crowded. It is definitely worth a 2-3 day stay. You can take a trip on the Ducks (the war vehicles that go in the water and on the ground) they have the most beautiful scenery when you go on them. There is a place called Wizard Quest which is an hour and a half interactive game which is good for younger kids AND adults. Plus the number of waterparks you have up there is unbelieveable. I just stayed at Mt Olympus and it has roller coasters, go-karts and other fun things too at the hotel. But I definitely think you should try it, it’s worth it.

Geneva, OH $19.99 The area”s first settlers, Theobalt Bartholomew and his family, left Charlotte, New York, and arrived on South Ridge Road near Cowles Creek in 1805. Geneva, however, was named by another early settler, Maj. Levi Gaylord, who suggested naming it after the small, beautiful town of Geneva, New York. By the mid-1800s, word traveled back to the East Coast of the fertile soil in Ohio, and soon many farmers came on horseback, in oxcarts, and on foot, driving herds of cattle to the area, and the population grew to about 150. The area along Lake Erie soon became a popular tourist destination with its grape-growing industry, Ohio”s first resort, and fishing in the Grand River. The area prospered into a community united by work, recreation, and sport. This collection of historic images highlights the histories of Geneva, Geneva on the Lake, and Harpersfields from 1805 to the present day. |
