Subterranean Surprises Curious Caverns &
inter fun doesn’t have to be all about trudging through the snow, losing feeling in your fingertips, or finding the nearest ski hill. In fact, a visit to CAVE OF THE MOUNDS , one of our favorite National Natural Landmarks, means that you get to explore the boundless natural wonders below ground while staying perfectly dry and comfortable! Protected from the harsh elements above, the cave maintains a constant temperature of around 50 degrees Fahrenheit year-round, making it the perfect place to explore any time of the year. A source of education and exploration for over 80 years, this underground wonder has been intriguing visitors of all ages with the timeless beauty of the peaceful caverns, delicate stalactites and stalagmites, and colorful crystal formations. Guides call the dripping water “cave kisses” as they explain that each water drop has the potential to form
another crystal. It is a very slow process as each crystal can take hundreds of years to produce even a centimeter of growth. Meandering walkways and lighted paths safely lead amateur spelunkers through the cave’s interior, with interpretive signs and informative tour guides giving onlookers an up close and personal lesson in Wisconsin’s geology.
Cave of the mounds
Cave of the Mounds is nestled in the earth under Brigham Farm, which was established by Ebenezer Brigham in 1828. Neither he nor the Indigenous populations before him knew of the cave’s existence. Since it does not have a natural entrance, this also means there are no bats in the cave. The cave was
discovered in 1939 during a routine quarry blast on the farm by workers in the area extracting gravel. The cave is still privately owned today by the Brigham family, whose main goal is to protect and preserve the cave for generations to come.
Exploring below the surface is just the start... Cave of the Mounds offers lots of above-ground, educational activities too! Learn about geodes and crack open your own geode to reveal a beautiful, crystalfilled treasure. A seasonal beer garden and outdoor picnic areas are available around the park to give you a place to sit and reflect on the beauty around you. Top off your visit at the Quarry’s Edge Mining Sluice to pan for your own collection of rocks and fossils. This is a year-round treasure to explore, so head to Blue Mounds to unplug with your family and friends and enjoy the peace IN earth!

Del-Bar Delivers the Taste of Tradition
The holidays are a time of daysgone-by traditions wrapped in class and topped with a bow made of family and friends. And in Wisconsin Dells, when we think of all these important things that comprise our most favorite time of year, we can’t help but think of one of our favorite Wisconsin supper clubs cherished by locals and tourists alike, THE DEL-BAR .
A fixture in the Dells area since 1943, The Del-Bar exudes class and sophistication, and has been a gathering place for family and friends for well over 79 years. Keeping the classic supper club vibe alive, third generation-owners, sisters Amy Wimmer and Anne Stoken, continue to impress us with their dedication to not only tradition and elegance, but to providing some of the most exquisite and delicious dishes around.
Award-winning cuisine abounds here, and The Del-Bar, with its warm, high-end supper club atmosphere, makes it seem oh-so-simple. By sourcing the highest quality ingredients and incorporating locally-sourced foods whenever possible, you can understand why it has become a staple among hungry locals. The atmosphere sets a tone, the promise of a top-notch happy hour will lure you in, and prime grade steaks and fresh seafood will absolutely seal the deal.
There’s no doubt, when you’ve had the opportunity to take in the classic Del-Bar experience, you’ll find yourself turning into a repeat patron. Advanced reservations are recommended, and once you’ve sampled all the wonderful food and drinks they have to offer, you’ll understand why.
Keep the spirit of holiday tradition alive and treat your family, friends, or that special someone in your life to an evening brimming with ambiance, opulence, and amazingly delicious meals. Bundle up and come on over… We’ll see you there!
