MACS
IT’S EASY BEING CHEESY! A
s all Wisconsinites know, cheese is life. Cheese practically deserves to be its own food group! And it’s even better when it’s fresh and locally-made by hand. At MACS MACARONI AND CHEESE SHOP they offer a variety of cheesy Macs, melts, crispy salads and don’t forget an array of scrumptious desserts! It’s the perfect place to indulge in large, cheesy portions in a fast-casual environment. Owners Nick & Jackie have served hungry guests in the Dells for decades using only high-quality ingredients in their recipes. At MACS, everything is cooked fresh onsite every day so it comes out perfectly golden brown every time.
Picture this: a steaming hot skillet of the creamiest, gooiest, cheesiest mac & cheese you can imagine, topped with your favorite comfort food: a cheeseburger, a cheesesteak, a taco, jalapeño poppers, BBQ pulled pork. That’s what you can expect to find at MACS. 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 is only available in the Mac Daddy size (no complaints here) and it will no doubt warm your soul. We Wisconsinites love our ranch. We dip our veggies in it, our pizza in it, and even our chicken in it. Hence the Chicken
Bacon Ranch Mac. It’s exactly what it sounds like: chicken, bacon, ranch, and, of course, more cheese! If you don’t like chicken, bacon, or ranch, we’ll try not to judge, and point you towards the Popeye Mac or Veggie Mac. The menu goes on and on with Philly Mac, Cheeseburger Mac, Taco Mac, and so many other delicious Macs, each accompanied by two homemade toasties for a perfectly crunchy compliment. So grab a fork and dig into a delicious skillet of a modern twist on an American classic.

Simply Axe-cellent Y
ou don’t have to be a lumberjack or a viking in order to hit the bullseye with this fun and exhilarating activity, although you’ll probably feel like one after a night out at ASGARD AXE AND TAP!
Asgard Axe AND Tap
Individuals ages ten and up can try their hand at throwing a real axe at a real target. Axe throwing requires a bit of skill and finesse to really hit the mark, and thankfully, Asgard’s axe coaches will make sure you’re equipped with
all the proper tools and techniques for you to safely hit the lanes. If you’re a natural after your first few throws, you might want to consider joining one of Asgard’s axe throwing leagues! It’s a great time and definitely not your average night out on the town. If you want a meal fit for a viking, Asgard has delicious food available to order, along with 28 craft brews on tap. Just below the lanes, ASGARD’S UNDERWORLD ARCADE BAR is
home to the only unlimited arcade in Wisconsin Dells! Head downstairs and challenge your friends to some old classics like Pac-Man or Donkey Kong. For $20, you can play unlimited games all day! When you’re looking for a unique experience to unleash your inner viking (or inner old-school gamer), look no further than Asgard Axe and Tap for an epic evening out. Be sure to get your arcade card online and secure your lane in advance before they sell out!

Cave of the mounds
Calcite, Crystals and Stalactites, Oh My! ★★★
a great destination to visit
year round! ★★★
T
he national natural landmark, CAVE OF THE MOUNDS, has been a source of education and exploration for people of all ages for more than 80 years. It’s a great destination to visit year round since the cave maintains a constant temperature of around 50 degrees Fahrenheit and is protected from the elements. The cave is not a habitat for bats, insects or other creatures, so it’s totally safe for spelunkers of all experience levels, and is the perfect activity to stay warm and dry on a cold winter day (or to stay cool in the summer)!
10
visitwisconsindells.com
The cave was actually discovered by accident in 1939 during a routine quarry blast. Two local businessmen quickly developed a plan to make the cave accessible for both young and old to experience, and the newly discovered, natural, scenic wonder opened to the public in 1940. Since then it has been a source for children and adults to learn about Wisconsin’s geology and limestone cave formation, and to enjoy the interpretive trails and gardens. Visitors can explore the cave via selfpaced guided tours on paved and lighted walkways and stairs, daily. Tour guides along the way will share information about the cave. You can also rent a blacklight flashlight if you wish to observe the stalactites,
stalagmites and other cave formations fluoresce! VIP guided tours are also available by advance reservation if you wish, with topics such as the blacklight tour called Fun with Fluorescence. Cave of the Mounds offers lots of above-ground activities as well, such as treasure mining and geode cracking. Both are exciting educational activities that the whole family can enjoy. Start planning your visit and get ready to discover majestic gardens and nature trails, uncover rocks, minerals, and fossils from all over the world, and enjoy the stunning variety of colorful crystal formations below ground. Celebrate the beautiful natural wonder that is Cave of the Mounds!

With their large dining rooms, upstairs brewery, and downstairs arcade, Moosejaw is perfect for large groups
