HI Shirley Coomer,

Yes, it is very exciting!  We stayed at a Great Wolf Lodges at Wisconsin Dells in June and it was amazing.  Like a mini-Disneyland! This year-round indoor water park should be a huge draw here!  Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Shirley:

I would think with the heat that water parks would be pretty popular! This is a terrific resource for residents, visitors and those considering a move to the area.
