Timber Falls Mini Golf: I've been going to the Dells since I was a kid in the 90s and this place has been around even longer than that as it opened in 1989. They currently offer three different courses that are easy, moderate, or hard in terms of difficulty. That's a total of 54 holes as each contains 18. Patrons can choose from a myriad of colorful golf balls to help distinguish them among the different members of your party. The course offers some nice scenic water features. A few sections of the property could use an update, but overall, the property is in good shape. Families can also enjoy the petting zoo, which features goats and a donkey. Pirates Cove is still my favorite, but Timber Falls is a nice alternative and typically less crowded.

Staff was nice and friendly. The girl got is our clubs and we were ready to play. Ok first it's off season. So the fun stuff was turn off for the season. We played the drs course as the black was closed and blue wAs the easy course. The black was closed she did say why. So we choose red. It was a good course. Lots of ups and downs. Did look like they need to spring clean the course a little bit. I am sure by summer it will be all ready to go.

Great place to enjoy a round of mini golf. The courses are designed well and the equipment is in good shape. I really liked the variety of different scenery and obstacles available, including stairs, bridge, barn, and water wheel. With 3 courses available and discounts for subsequent games, this really provides a great deal for anyone looking to enjoy some mini-golf.

As far as mini golf goes it was pretty good. Not a lot of interactive moving displays or walkways. Lots of stairs. Challenging holes. They offer 3 difficulties on the courses. We chose the medium. Each had 18 holes. We played with 3 children ages 7, 9, and 11. They all enjoyed it as did we. It took about an hour to play through. It's right on the water which is neat. Clean and friendly.

We were walking along Broadway when we spied what appeared to be miniature golf in a forested area. Mini golf IN the forest? Yes. To be clear, it's not remote. It's right off the main drag in the Dells and so the sounds of the bustle of Broadway can be heard. But, it is most definitely in an amazing forested area. Completely shaded, the course roams through the pines. It's hands down one of my favorite miniature golf (or, as my family calls it, putt-putt) spots of all time. There are three courses you can try (easy, medium, difficult). We went for the medium, which was great for our group (adults and a teen). Next time, I might even go for difficult. Nice to know there's fun options for small kiddos as well! Get to it!

Like mini golf? Awesome! Timber Falls has you covered! Like amusement parks? They have you covered too! However, make sure you call ahead during the off-season. As we were really disappointed to find out that none of the theme parks or coasters were functional. I saw no mention of this on their website or anything. I'm a bit glad that all of the other things were closed, though. Their credit card and debit card machine is down (and according to the cashier, has been down for over a month), so they were only accepting cash. Which was only announced by a hand-written sign on the countertop. The Mini Golf itself is pretty neat. There are three different 18-hole courses to go through. One is beginner-level, one is medium-level (and offers scenic views of the river), and the third offers the hardest difficulty with lots of stairs. The beginner-level course is designed to be compatible with strollers as well - while other courses may not be. We ended up doing the medium-level course, and it wasn't kidding around. Most of the pars for the holes were 2 or 3, but they were designed to be hard. While there were no moving objects to deal with, but there were a lot of elevation changes. With the hilly terrain around here, it actually was relatively challenging. There were even holes that temporarily moved the ball to a new location on a different level of elevation. The course does a great job of directing you to the appropriate next spot as well. The course was in decent condition. Spiders around and some of the concrete was cracked, but nothing was super bad. However, there were quite a few wasps around the initial cashier booth. We had to avoid four on our way to just get to the course. Staff was...pretty bored. It was pretty clear that they were bored of their job, and since their job mostly just consisted of sitting in a spot and selling mini golf tickets, I can understand why. That being said, she wasn't rude. She seemed pretty nonplussed by the entire "cashiering" experience. ALSO, we got....bonus chickens. It was really weird. There were chickens all over the green. I guess they regularly get out of the "petting zoo" pen because the girl at the front desk was entirely unconcerned when we told her. They were actively walking around on the green, and it definitely added an...odd and unique experience to our mini golf attempting to golf around them. This is a decent mini golf place. It'd probably be a 3-star, but getting to play mini golf around chickens and the difficulty of the course (plus the ability to choose the difficulty) bumped it up into a four-star experience. Note: Trying to save money? In the 2015 season, look in coupon books to find a "Buy One, Get Another Round for $2" coupon. As one round was $8, it makes it $10 for 18 holes of Miniature Golf. That's totally reasonable.

This ride is in the parking lot of Timber Falls Adventure Park. I give it four stars, because if I were into thrill rides, I would say you get your money's worth. I have been on this bad boy once and once was enough for me! So if anyone sees my husband looking on wistfully, please go on this with him because I have retired. You sit, harnessed into your seat and are lifted 160 feet into the air going around and around at 60mph. If this is your thang, by all means do it. I could see Jesus from the top of this crazy ride.

So it begins........

I'm not sure why so many 1-2 star reviews! Upon our arrival the front desk was an easy check in!…read more We stayed in building 31A. The room was clean, beds where made, the floors honestly looked freshly swept or mopped. The a/c worked great and no smell to the room! Room service needs to be called in order for them to come to you, but I called around 2:30pm for new towels and they brought them not even 10 mins later! The showers are a good size and the bathrooms were clean! My lack of stars is actually for the pool area + arcade. I hate the time limits on things like the hot tub and warming pools. As well as not enough tubes for the lazy river/ rides! The arcade is also more for younger kids but no issue there other than the workers! The card machine ate $80 of cash and they said there was nothing they could do about it! I had to call and complain a few times for them to offer money back. But no one working on site was any help at all. Honestly horrible staff other than front desk and the room service! Overall super fun experience! 26F, 26M, 17M, 18 month baby and two 60yos!

I decided on this place since they had a few unique slides and such a unique look! plus you got 2 parks in one. I am not a go kart person and they have quite a lot of them. My husband enjoyed those. I just watched. I really wanted to try the roller coasters and I was so lucky with NO lines. The 4 wooden coasters are rough and very intense rides. Would I ride them again? Probably not. But I was so glad I could try them. The waterpark was fun. I did spend most of my time in the indoor portion. However, I really enjoyed the lazy river outside. The crazy wave pool with the 9 foot waves ... scary and crazy... Also not for me but I enjoyed people watching. The rotating slide is really why I was there. I never been on something like this. I think it's the only one in the USA and wow was it weird. It was really fun and different and something I will be probably never experience again. It can give you a little bit of motion sickness due to the movement but if that's not an issue for you, you should be good. I also love a good hot tub which they had. I definitely recommend and would love to come back. It was just so unique and fun.

My family and I entered Tom Foolery's after a day at the Kalahari Water Parks to kill some time…read morebefore heading back to our off-property room for the night. Tom Foolery's is a large family fun complex with tons of things to outside the credit-hungry ticket producers and claw machines. With a limited amount of time and children 5 and under, we didn't utilize every offering inside the building but did note the many ways you could get lost into spending a lot of time here. A Ferris wheel, ropes course, bowling alley, and more all filled up the space. We ended up spending our time playing some racing games and simple 'skill' games with balls or simple mechanics the kids could handle. Our adventures landed us with an amount of tickets we redeemed for some trinkets on the way out. Overall a fun experience that could have led to more if we had the time. Would recommend checking it out as part of your Kalahari (or nearby) experience.

Tons of games and tons of fun for all ages…read more Our first introduction to all that is 'The Dells' included a trip to Tom Foolerys and so they always have a soft spot in my heart. 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!

You can find my review of our stay at the Lake Delton Waterfront Villas (Kalahari) here - https://www.yelp.com/biz/lake-delton-waterfront-villas-wisconsin-dells?hrid=-qJ4GCx6bPpQ7EBGBQLCyw&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct) My extended family and I met up in the Wisconsin Dells area for a weekend over late Summer 2026. Our children ranged age 1 - 5 on this trip and we had six adults. We have been to multiple water parks and attractions, our two most recent being Cedar Point Shores and Zehnder's Splash Village. Overall we enjoyed our visits to the waterparks here at Kalahari Wis Dells. We had a weekend pass that also included entrance to Timbavati Wildlife Park. The outdoor waterpark was a decent size, offering the expected attractions as well as nice features like a standard swimming pool. Over our weekend we didn't have any issues finding seating and found amenities like food and drink within a comfortable proximity. Our little ones found a lot of enjoyment in the smallest play area, and inclusions such as the swings over the water helped mix it up. A foam party appeared more than once which was a fun additional activity to enjoy for all ages. Our only criticism of the outdoor park was the pool water was extremely, extremely cold. Typically the outdoor waterparks don't feature heated water but whatever was going on here was super tough to enjoy. The indoor waterpark became our preferred space as the water was warmer and there were more activities for the kids in our group. There was more of a mid-level kids area (our 3, 4, and 5 year olds really enjoyed) here as well as a larger smaller kids (1 year and even the 3-5) area. Us adults enjoyed the swim-up bar and some of the slides. My wife and I found time to do the 'Master Blaster' raft slide which was a quick thrill dropping from the very top of the building. Food options across both parks were plentiful and we were able to find something for everyone. Transitioning between parks was a breeze too, as the entrances to both are just a short hallway walk across from each other. The biggest flaw we noticed between the two parks was the towel situation. Both days towels 'ran out' in the afternoon which I would wager causes guests to check out as many towels as possible in the morning which in turn causes the towels to run out. A vicious cycle that may be a process worth revisiting. Design question - why is the lazy river connected to and passes through the wave pool? The lazy river and the wave pool are contradictory adrenaline levels. Weird. All that action really amplified the amount of people pushing, jumping, splashing, and swimming through the lazy river which really detracts from the experience. The gigantic conference center provided a great refuge to take my youngest on a long stroller nap. The conference space is almost comically large and was completely empty on our trip. The theming was excellent and the area was in great condition. Again, all and all we had a great family trip to both water parks and enjoyed our time on this property.

Full disclosure booking here was an accident, I actually meant to book wilderness but had a stroke…read moreand not only booked here instead but selected a non refundable booking. Oh well. My Wisconsin coworker assured me that Kalahari and wilderness were interchangeable. Primary plans were for June but terrible weather in the Wisconsin and Chicago area for the 48 hours of our intended arrival made the trip impossible. I was able to cancel and get refunded for everything except Kalahari. Which is kinda fucked up because weather shit Is considered an act of God. I have no doubt I could have gotten a refund with the credit card but figured it would be less of a headache to just change the dates later in the summer. Fortunately, Kalahari was able to accommodate that. They wouldn't, however, give me a credit. They required the actual dates which didn't feel very customer service oriented-y. GF's birthday felt like an appropriate time to reschedule so I scrambled to get everything else required (flights, etc) sorted out to ensure the new dates would work. Contrary to some of the reviews I see, there was literally zero issue with check in. It took less than five minutes even though I was not able to use the self service kiosk because of the little date change situation. We stayed in the main resort which I would highly recommend. It was very convenient to be able to pop up to the room to charge something or grab something we forgot. First encounter after check in was weird. I went to get a coffee and ordered a cold brew. I asked if they had oat milk and the guy behind the counter was confused "you want to buy a bottle of oat milk? We don't have that" um.... no.... I just stared at him unsure how to respond. Milk in coffee isn't a foreign concept as far as I'm aware. He tried to tell me cold brew doesn't ever have milk in it. He called over another staff member. I asked if there was a milk station like in standard Starbucks and they said no. After a lot of back and forth eventually someone acted like they were doing me a huge favor by pouring a little oat milk in my cold brew. I would have wanted some sweetener as well but I was not about to push it. We made our way to the outdoor park which was underwhelming. There is a normal pool, a kiddie pool, another area that looks like a pirate ship conglomeration with some slides and other pouring water down things. There is another slide surrounded by an outdoor lazy river that was closed on that particular day. I don't recall if the side was open at that time. Not too much to do here so we made our way inside. This was where the rubber met the road, so to speak. Much more shit in here. There was that thing you can "surf" on that I was not about to do. There was a lazy river, small slides for little kids, I want to say maybe three structures that housed one to two or three slides for adults. There was also one hot tub and an area where you can shoot basketballs. There was also a swim up bar. They were very aggressive about checking ids but didn't check mine so I guess I look like an old hag. Overall it was just not as much as I was expecting for some reason. I was impressed by the cleanliness. Not that it was squeaky clean but I felt like a water park could definitely be worse. They do have cabanas you can rent. We rented ours on day of (a Monday in August) for $300 for the day. It was really nice to have a place to chill outside of the hustle and bustle of the park. We also had our own server, couches, waters, and a tv. It was really nice. We got pretty much a basic room in the main resort. No view whatsoever. The size was decent and included a mini fridge which was nice. The bathroom was small but the toilet flush was very mighty, much appreciated. The beds were SO comfy and plenty, very fluffy pillows were provided. Nothing like the flat, shit you would find in a civil war soldier's coffin bullshits one gets at most hotels. Thermostat worked well. My main complaint about the room was that the water pressure in the shower was ABYSMAL. It was literally like a sprinkler. When you spend time in yucky water park water you need a good hose down afterwards. If you have thick hair, forget it. It takes so long for that sprinkler ass water to penetrate its like not even worth it. This alone is a reason I would look to stay elsewhere in the future. If you don't have thick hair or don't care then it's a non issue. Oh, house keeping was great too. They took care of us and provided an abundance of towels. Probably doesn't come as a surprise but this place is absolutely crawling with children. The number of times I was pushed, bumped into, shoved into a wall, splashed, screamed next to made the lazy river basically untenable and degraded the experience in general. What can you expect from a water park though?
