The equipment was well-maintained and very fun to play. However, the experience went downhill at the claw machines. They felt like a total scam! The claw had almost zero grip on the plushies. We watched several prizes slip through the prongs every single time. It was very frustrating for the kids. To make matters worse, the ticket prices were way too high. We burned through our credits much faster than expected. It is hard to enjoy the day when you feel overcharged. I hope the management looks into better pricing soon!

It's a really unique and immersive experience!…read more I would say it's geared a little more towards children. The artwork reminds me of Neopets. The starting entry price is $30 for two hours. You can do all day for $35. If you have the Dells card Wizard Quest for 2 hours is on it! There are a lot of puzzles and they state the difficulty and time it takes. The worlds cover two floors and about 3 store spaces in length. Be prepared to climb stairs, squeeze through narrow passageways, crawl into tunnels, etc. So wearing a long dress isn't advisable. They have a snack bar and at least one hint helper. There were also 2-3 restrooms. After about an hour our group got tired and left early. But that's a personal thing. We finished about 3-4 puzzles in that time. While it wasn't as cold as a movie theater it was still somewhat of a break from the humid heat outside. Highly recommend if you're in a group with young children. Older children and adults may not enjoy it as much unless they're really into fantasy worlds.

I can honestly say that I didn't expect to have as much fun as I did. What a pleasant surprise it…read morewas! I didn't look up too much info beforehand because I didn't want to be spoiled. The website explained that it was a tablet directed quest game and would take about an hour. However, that's out of date. The time allotted for a single game was two hours. Be warned when setting the parking meter! Basically there are four "realms" that each offer quests. When you see a tablet, you can choose to interact with it and accept or deny a quest. You can accept the quest via your group's tablet by selecting the appropriate symbol. Then the wild goose chase begins. Clues send you all over the place to talk to characters and collect the virtual items. Up stairs, through secret passages, tunnels and more. Rarely did we encounter teams that were following the same quest at the same time we were so that was great. As crowded as it got in certain areas, we were all kind of doing our own thing. I believe there were around 16 quests that could be completed, all with varying levels of difficulty and length of time to complete. We made it through 4, and part way through another in our two hours. I was amazed by the level of detail that went into the planning and decoy of this game and all the rooms. It was more interactive than I had anticipated and also tiring! But what a fun afternoon. I'd love to go into more detail but I don't want to spoil anything. The price was fair for the experience and I highly recommend coming here. I am definitely planning another road trip back!

Attached to the Kalahari, they've updated and rearranged a bit and there's even more fun to be had. They have a variety of indoor rides. Personally, I dig the indoor ferris wheel and could seriously go on that on repeat (but I happen to love a good ferris wheel). They also have go carts, arcade games (complete with prizes), ax throwing, bowling, mini golf, and more. If you get the day pass, the mini golf is included--just a word of warning, it's a serve yourself kind of situation and there were some kids running around and maybe being a little chaotic with it vs. taking it in order (if that makes sense). They didn't bother us to much and when we kindly asked if they could wait before playing on the hole we were on, they did so. But, I could see on busier days it getting kinda wild. They have a new winners shop. Previously, like many arcades, it was a counter where you could spend your winnings (aka tickets). Now, they have a full blown shop, which I'm sure the kiddos will enjoy. They also have a new little bar situation where you can get frozen drinks as well as snacks. All in all, they've grown and expanded. If I had small kids, this would be a gold mine. They could play the whole day away in here. Get to it!

We had a lot of fun at Tom Foolerys Adventure Park inside Kalahari Resorts & Conventions. It's…read morebasically a huge indoor amusement park with tons of activities, so it's easy to spend a few hours there. There's a little bit of everything -- go karts, laser tag, bowling, arcade games, mini golf, climbing areas and more, so everyone in the group can find something they enjoy. The activity bracelet/pass can feel a little pricey, but if you're planning to do several activities it's definitely worth it and makes things easier instead of paying for each thing separately. One thing we really liked was how convenient the location is. It's connected right between the Kalahari resort and the movie theater, so it's super easy to walk over and spend some time there without having to drive anywhere. Overall it's a really fun spot if you're visiting Wisconsin Dells -- especially great for families or anyone looking for something to do besides the waterparks. Lots of games, lots of energy, and plenty to keep everyone entertained.

There is an ATM in the gift shop area in case you don't have cash, it will have a line. So bring cash. 3. The deer food stands are closed in the park. 4. The deer food machines that take quarters are filled and work. (I did find one broken across from the Lama's) 5. You can get a roll or two of quarters from the ticket station. (Remember cash only) Pro-tips: * The deer like the corn/deer feed over the crackers. Buy one pack of crackers to feed the goats and Bison when you enter. * use your quarters to buy deer feed from the vending machines. Use that empty cracker bag to put your deer feed in. * chickens and birds prefer the deer feed (corn) over the crackers. * Read my previous review for more insights.

Orientation was a bit over the kids heads but they got it through real-life application. The obstacles started easy and gained in difficulty. Not a lot of zip line but fun obstacles. Jack, Nick and Ryan were great. At one point the 9 year old wanted to bail on the obstacles and Ryan gave a pep talk and she finished the course. We paid and extra $10 for the high line zip line. It was well worth it. Note go before your kids on the obstacles so you can help them hit the landing pads and get set up for the next adventure.

We had such a wonderful ride on the train today!!…read more The train follows the original 1850s rail bed, through beautiful Wisconsin forest land. If one wants an interior view of local flora & fauna, this is low energy, fantastic way to explore it! Children & adults (esp those who are children at heart!) will thrill at riding the small scale train. We loved watching the engine be turned around on the hand-operated round table. Our favorite part of the visit was the personal attention we received from Conductor Greg! We visited on a late summer Thursday afternoon when the rail was not as busy, and he treated us to a personalized narrated tour of the history of the railway as well as the fauna, flora, & major attractions of the area. Thank you so much, Greg!! All told, this & the Wisconsin Dells Boat Tours were the highlights of our trip! From a nature-loving local's perspective, some other great places to visit: Devil's Lake, Pewit's Nest, Parfrey's Glen, & the Chapel Gorge trail. If one is interested in Native American culture, there are mounds found at Man Mound Park & Kingsley Bend at Devil's Lake.
