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!

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!

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.

We were able to bring a few snacks in pockets, but purchased the Dole whip and chocolate covered bananas, both were wonderful. And prepare to wear sandals between slides, the walk is hot and your feet will thank you! They even have shoe racks at each slide.

This place has three escape rooms to solve. Their entry-level room is a mission to Mars, their…read moremiddle-level room is a quest to get to shelter because a tornado is coming, and their hard-level room is a quest to save yourself from the sinking Titanic. If you haven't done escape rooms before, you should definitely do the Mars one. It's fun for beginners. It's also cheaper and takes a shorter time duration. There aren't as many puzzles to solve as the middle level or most difficult one. But, it's still quite fun to do. The most fun is in the tornado room. They had an option to do it with the lights on or off, and we chose to leave the lights on. There is enough going on already, and we didn't need to be distracted by having it be too dark. The puzzles are a little tougher, and this one takes a full hour to finish. The theme is great, and the variety of things to solve is perfect. It's not just a routine of solving one number code after another. The toughest one is the Titanic room. And, I can't help but lower my rating of this place from 5 stars to only 4 stars as a result. I don't mind that it's tougher. That's fine, and that's not the reason I am deducting a star. There's a difference between making something tougher, vs. making something that absolutely nobody would understand. This room is around half of the size of the tornado room, yet, it has double the amount of things to solve. And, frankly, some of the puzzles are just a bit too cryptic for my liking. They just went a little too far with confusing things to figure out, that didn't really lead anywhere. It's a shame, because 70% of this room has some really great features that most people will really have fun with. But, about 30% of the stuff you need to solve is just impossible without taking clues from the staff, and even after getting the clues, it still doesn't make much sense. And, they really need to make this one 1.5 hours long to accommodate all of the things you need to finish. Overall, though, I'd recommend any of these rooms, even the difficult Titanic room. I just think that room needs a little more time allotted, and a bit of tweaking to a few of the puzzles to make them more reasonable.

Enjoyed the fact that we could book a private room, so there were only two of us, which was nice but also tough! There were some technical difficulties with their computers so the game master had to run in and give us a clue at one point which wasted some time. The room was tough and there were a lot of misleading things that took us off track but added to the fun. We had the key and new will in our hand when time ran out so 30 more seconds and we would've broken out but I'll say without the clues we wouldn't have made it as far. Overall had a great time and would try another room here.
