DELLS TRAVEL // 2020-2021 Winter Edition
AN ADVENTURE like YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE This year we’ve seen monumental changes under the Wilderness Resort’s roof, including a new multi-million dollar aerial adventure ride and the Dells’ first eating hall. Take Flight and Camp Social are unique and engaging ways for both guests and locals to partake in what this town really has to offer - fun, wholesome ways to engage with family the safe and relaxed way. If you haven’t been, the Wisconsin wintry season that is upon us is the perfect time to explore indoors! THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Journey to the North Pole is a new adventure coming to TAKE FLIGHT at the WILDERNESS RESORT this holiday season. Guests will be able to experience this magical journey based on the movie starring Tom Hanks from November 13th through January 18th. Join the kids on their quest to get to the North Pole to see Santa, while racing down winding train tracks, through mountain ranges and across frozen lakes. When the holiday decorations come down, don’t forget to check out FLYING WILD™, our year-round signature film that will take riders over 20+ iconic US destinations including the Statue of Liberty, Crater Lake, Door County, and our locally treasured, Devil’s Lake. Soar through the skies, feel the salty sea air on your face, and see America’s greatest natural landmarks from your seat! Complete with airport simulation, boarding pass collection, and live CGI movie magic, you’ll enjoy a 20-minute experience with your family and loved ones that you won’t want to miss! After you fly and see the magic views from atop your seat, there’s no better meal to be had than in the Camp Social food line. This modern take on our favorite style of eating includes all the comfort food we love, like skillets of macaroni + cheese and warm, cozy drinks. Spread out at the family-style, wooden picnic benches or sit at the burger bar any hour of the day to enjoy a beer flight or a friendly chat with the bartender in between juicy bites of burger. If there’s one thing the holidays can do, it’s bring us together. With food as a mantra and fun as an anthem, we thank Wilderness for providing some of the best entertainment in the city!

From stalactites and stalagmites to majestic rock columns and underground pools, the Cave will mesmerize you with it’s natural beauty.

Now that’s what we call a memory-maker!
While the Cave itself is the centerpiece of the visit, it’s by no means the only part of the Cave of the Mounds experience. Visitors of all ages will absolutely love a visit to the on-site Rock and Fossil Shop, filled with mementos, educational resources, and hundreds of breathtaking rock and mineral specimens. Are you looking for some interactive fun? Kids and adults will go bananas for the Gemstone Mine & Fossil Dig activities, allowing you to discover your own unique gemstone and fossil specimens. Don’t forget to bring your snowshoes to explore the untouched nature trails that surround the area… there is just so much to see! So this winter, when those cold, gray days start to wear on you, don’t panic! Escape on a day trip to the Cave of the Mounds and make some awesome family memories that will last a lifetime!

Cheese-Smothered goodness W
hen forecasts of snow threaten the Midwest, there’s nothing that can make you feel warmer or cozier than a big, piping hot bowl of comfort food. And if you’re from Wisconsin, you know that the best kind of comfort food involves cheese. Cheese curds, cheeseburgers, cheese dip, and maybe best of all, macaroni & cheese. If you’re craving a steaming hot skillet of creamy, gooey, cheese-smothered goodness, MACS MACARONI AND CHEESE SHOP never fails to deliver. The challenge is deciding which Mac to order (hint: there is no wrong answer), but we’ll give you a few savory suggestions.
DELLS TRAVEL // 2020-2021 Winter Edition
The Loaded Baked Potato Mac is one of our favorites, as it is topped with actual baked potato, bacon, sour cream, chives, and even more cheese. It will no doubt warm your soul. Another favorite is the Memphis Mac, topped with insanely tender and delicious pulled pork, cheese (obviously), tangy BBQ sauce, and crispy onion tanglers. How can you go wrong? When you’re looking for an adventure (or maybe you’ve already had a little too much of one), the Hangover Mac is the answer.
Coming in as probably the most loaded Mac on the menu, it’s topped with pepper jack, mozzarella, hash browns, bacon, grilled hot dog, sautéed green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and sriracha. Let’s just say it’s a mouthful. The menu also includes the Cheeseburger Mac, Taco Mac, Philly Mac, and so many others, each topped with all your favorite comfort foods. And just when you think it can’t get any better, each skillet of mac & cheese is accompanied by two homemade toasties for a perfectly crunchy compliment. After you’ve tried all 18 macs, give any of the melts or salads a try. They even have cakes and cookies, so we hope you save room for dessert!

INDULGE WITH US T
he DEL-BAR is a place that has a following. Loyalists from near and far that can’t get enough of it with its legacy dining, suit jacket or casual dress kind of feel that offers you a table to celebrate, to fall in love for the first or last time, and to really, truly eat. That genuine supper club ambiance never gets old and the food is always memorably delicious. With their perfectly seared prime-aged steaks, mouth-watering Alaskan crab legs, and a slew of good wines to pair, there’s no wrong choice.
The Del-Bar reminds us what a Wisconsin supper-club experience should truly feel like – home. Family-run by two sisters who have a knack for anticipating the customer’s unique and simple tastes, the location, the staff dedicated to serving, and the Frank Lloyd Wright decor sets it apart. We’ll be siding up to that bar to sip on authentic Old Fashioneds and Chocolate Martinis for another 75 years!

The Del-Bar
You cannot find a place in this area that does traditional yet remarkable food better than The Del-Bar. If you haven’t been - you are severely behind on your foodie game. The experience encapsulates itself on your list for
date nights, girls night out, family celebration, you name it. The Del-Bar is memorable, I promise you. Proof is the staff, the eclectic furnishings, the iconic bathroom, the never ending appetizer options (you can’t just pick one!), the oaky smell of prime meat cuts drafting through the restaurant, and the incredible amount of care that goes into every dish.

break out the buns HOT DOG AVENUE ’s gourmet dogs are just the thing for your next meal. What started with a family dream, a passion for hot dogs, and a lot of blood, sweat and tears has grown into a hefty menu of hand-selected dog combinations using strategic ingredient planning. “We didn’t think it would kick off that well so we just did it smaller,” said owner, Ralph, when asked how a couple things turned into a hot-dog obsession for this town. Soon they were adding a bigger patio onto their front and before they knew it their business exploded. These savory Vienna Beef hot dogs are incredibly gratifying and kicked up a notch with a few toppers to make 'em honestly, deliciously, awesome.

With the plethora of space and a need to fill your night (and face) in the treasured Wisconsin Dells, the Grateful Shed has something for everyone. The most Instagram-worthy location you’re phone ever did meet, the Shed appeals to the masses because it’s quirky, fun, and unique. It was designed with the customer of today and tomorrow in mind, the Shed heads that would fall in love with a space so different.

pong balls frantically. People have been here since 4PM to claim their seats at the picnic table (socially distanced) and the newest seasonal drinks have been released.

do you want to build a snowman? Some of the top winter sports in Wisconsin include skiing, sledding, snowshoeing, and shoveling. Okay, maybe not that last one, but there are plenty of other activities to get you outside and playing in the snow this winter. Here are some of our local favorites:
1 2 3 4 5 SKIING AT CHRISTMAS MOUNTAIN Walking in a winter wonderland? More like skiing! With 16 downhill slopes and a wide variety of cross-country ski trails, skiers of any skill level can come and get their Christmas spirit AND their ski on at Christmas Mountain.
SNOW TUBING AT CASCADE MOUNTAIN Love the idea of flying down a snowy slope from the safety of a snow tube? Cascade Mountain has you covered! No equipment or experience is needed, just hop in your tube and enjoy the ride.
SNOWBOARING AT DEVIL’S HEAD
Snowboarders (and skiers) from all over the Midwest rave about the long, cruising slopes at Devil’s Head Resort. They are experts in grooming the slopes so you can enjoy a gentle ride without the harsh bumps.
SNOWSHOEING AT ROCKY ARBOR STATE PARK & MIRROR LAKE Bust out your snowshoes! Rocky Arbor State Park & Mirror Lake have some excellent trails to explore this winter. And when the lake freezes over, it’s always fun and exhilarating to take a trek out across the frozen water. If you need to rent some snowshoes, visit Vertical Illusions in the Dells or Wildside Action Sports in Baraboo!
ICE FISHING AT LAKE DELTON
What a catch! Walleye, Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Panfish, and Northern Pike are among the species you can pull through the ice at Lake Delton. Water you waiting for?

DELLS TRAVEL // 2020-2021 Winter Edition
UNVEILING THE NORTHWOODS BREW MAGIC UP THE STAIRS The story of MOOSEJAW is one of our favorites. Originally named after a city in Canada, we now know them to be so much more. Consistently they’ve shown up as one of the best pizza places in town... with the best delivery vehicles! They’ve captivated us with their Northwoods decor, but their brewery has remained humble, despite having 12 microbrews and 7 classic sodas on tap at all times. They’ve brewed over 100 different styles of microbrew all made in their 15 barrel copper-clad brewing system. We want locals and tourists alike to know the magic that awaits you up those beautiful cedar stairs. It’s a completely different look, vibe, and pace than you find on the main restaurant floor or on the lower level, which is an arcade lover’s dream. Wisconsin Dells Brewing Co. has a story of consistency, flavor, and comfort. While Moosejaw screams to put on those antlers, grab a slice and say cheese, the brewery district of the restaurant invites you to push the pause button and connect with your surroundings, just like you would up north. All of the usual Moosejaw favorite food classics can be ordered upstairs and the next time you visit, we dare you to sit high atop the place and order a flight of eight or twelve unique brews - the perfect pairing to a tried and true order of their homemade Mozzarella Sticks . There’s no such thing as a bad time for a beer and Moosejaw knows this well. They compliment the beer-tasting experience in a safe, family-friendly brewery kind of way, and make it possible to continue the experience at home with bottles and cans available for purchase as well. You can find the Wisconsin Dells beers and sodas in many of the local stores, hotels and gas stations… try them today! Can we let you in on another secret? The third floor of this iconic restaurant is where THE FIRST EVER FEMALE BREWMASTER IN WISCONSIN started her craft, making those unique and tasty blends of barley, hops, water and yeast. Over the years, Wisconsin Dells Brewing Co. has grown and transformed and is now the hidden gem you’ll find today. All you have to do is walk up the stairs.

A
sk any Wisconsinite for their go-to drink, and there’s a good chance they’ll tell you it’s a Brandy Old Fashioned.

That’s why we’ve pulled together our top five favorite spots in and around the Dells to imbibe.

THERE’S A SHAKE FOR THAt
★★★
who says
the fun has to be just for the kids? ★★★ B-LUX GRILL & BAR is the kind of place that has almost as much character as the Wisconsin Dells itself. The restaurant’s locally-based owners have put a lot of thought into how to provide high-quality menu offerings, while maintaining a family-friendly and relaxed, yet sophisticated environment. Aside from being a great neighborhood grill and bar, B-Lux sets itself apart by using fresh ingredients in all of
DELLS TRAVEL // 2020-2021 Winter Edition
their dishes, most of which are made entirely from scratch. The wide variety of menu items is sure to appeal to locals and tourists alike. Take the burger menu - you’ve got The Cheesehead with a half pound of fresh beef, loaded with beerbattered cheese curds, chicken-fried bacon, shredded lettuce, and Wisconsin cheddar - an instant locals’ favorite. On the other hand there’s The Big Hippie Burger, a chipotle-black bean patty with pepper jack cheese, sprouts and avocado. And those are just the burgers. Mac & cheese, tacos, and wings are among some of the other mouth-watering favorites. But when you’re going to B-Lux, there’s one thing you need to know: don’t sleep on the shakes! When you discover the unique flavors like The Cereal Killer (Fruit Loops & marshmallow cream), The Mojo Jojo (peanut butter,
banana, and chocolate), Strawberry Cheesecake, and even Salted Caramel Popcorn, you’ll understand why you can’t pass these up. One of the most famous (and photo-worthy) shakes on the menu is the B-Lux Donut Shake. It’s a Nutella shake, topped with a glazed donut, chocolate sauce and sprinkles. Need we say more? B-Lux is known for their kid-friendly dining, which is why you’ll find so many fun shake flavors on the menu, but who says the fun has to be just for the kids? B-Lux also offers an assortment of hard shakes with names and flavors just as creative as The Cereal Killer. Among them are Oreo-A-Go-Go and Kentucky Brainfreeze, just to name a few. At the end of the day, B-Lux is a Wisconsin Dells favorite and a quality family-dining experience that you just can’t get anywhere else!
