Celebrate America’s 250th in Red, White & Blue Style
There are celebrations—and then there are once-in-a-generation moments. This Fourth of July, we’re marking a truly historic occasion: America’s 250th anniversary of independence. It’s not going to be just another holiday—it’s going to be a milestone, and we’re going all out to make it unforgettable for guests of all ages.
If you take a look below, you’ll see that we’ll have all sorts of complimentary daytime activities for you to enjoy, and as dusk falls on Saturday, July 4th, the Wilderness Fireworks Spectacular will light up the night sky with the biggest and best display in the Dells. (weather permitting)
So, bring the “oohs” and “ahhs” and we’ll supply the BOOMS!
