Black Anaconda and Scorpion's Tail are both required and awesome, but the lines are long so wait until later in the day. The Black Thunder is your best bet for small waits but still very fun rides. Read more

Super busy! Go early in the season or super late. Plenty of discounts available online or at local vendors. Wear flip flops, the texture of the black top is unforgiving. Rent a tube for the wave pool!

By far the best waterpark in Wisconsin Dells. If you're looking to do the park affordably, grab some coupons/specials prior to arriving, and then hit up the Dairy Queen next door for lunch!

America's Largest Waterpark, and rightfully so! With 51 water rides including the new Quadzilla in 2012, you'll easily spend all day here. Free parking & ample space await picnics & large groups!
Cathy LewisJuly 8, 2013
Bring a cheap pair of flip flops for wearing between lines. The ground gets super hot. Expect long waits, about 30-60 each main attraction. Go early, and it is so worth it! Hit the black anaconda 1st.

If you visit you will for sure have to check out Scorpion's Tail. You'll be in for some excitement! Try not to chicken out when you get to the top. ;) Almost vertical drop will take your breath away. Read more

Everything is wonderful. Don't try the bumper boat, not worth the waiting line! We bought special parking for $12, and general parking is for $7. It's closer to kids pools.

I recommend renting a cabana if you have a bunch of people with you...it was nice to have a meet-up place. AND the cabanas come with lockers that you can open and unlimited amount.

Voted No. 3 in a national poll of the best water parks. With more than 60 different water-based activities, including a four-lane mat racing ride, there's something for the whole family. Read more

The area to the right (when you walk in the main entrance) is the more extreme end of the park with the best waterslides.

Don't miss the Black Anaconda. At a quarter of a mile long, it is one of the country's longest watercoasters.
Rachael deHaanJuly 14, 2012
Wear sandals or flip flops; the pavement is too hot for bare feet. There's little cubbies at the beginning of each ride queue for you to leave your shoes at while on the ride. :)
Aaron OlsenJuly 10, 2013
So much fun for the day!!!!! I recommend paying extra for the preferred parking. This gets you closer to the busy rides first.
Brittany MorrisAugust 1, 2012
New ownership; many things have changed. No smoking areas, wavepools now have fences and life jackets, no wristbands unless requested, etc... it's a shock if you haven't been there in 2012 yet.

The Scorpion's Tail is totally disorienting. One second you're in an unattached free fall and then all of a sudden you're like, I think I made it through the loop. --Bert Kreischer, Bert the Conqueror Read more

Yay at the Flamingo and get free entrance to Noah’s Ark for the duration of your stay.
Kyle AlbrightJuly 16, 2014
Go on a day you know will be cold/ possible rain. That way lines are shorter because less people want to be there.
Ricardo "Range" VargasAugust 29, 2011
Get there early and get on all the big rides you wanna do first. Lines only get longer as the day goes on. Almost never a line for Black Thunder though.
Lerin HendricksonAugust 20, 2013
I love noahs ark! I've been going for years. I was pretty unhappy I had to pay for parking this time...wtf
Erik LeanAugust 30, 2013
Go on a weekday. The line is so much better. You can re enter so go out and get food instead of eating there

Now that parking is not free... Season pass holders can also purchase a season parking pass for $21

We went today (Wednesday) it was so crowded that we waited in lines for over 30 minutes.
Jim LiddicoatAugust 28, 2011
Get there right when the park opens to avoid waiting in the long lines. 1 hour + waits for rides as the day goes on.
Steph SerranoAugust 4, 2013
Awesome water park! Everything you want in a water park!
Todd RichmondAugust 10, 2013
Prepare for LOUD MUSIC when you get to "Posidens Rage!" When we were there at least, there was a live DJ there the entire time both days.
Stephen KoontzAugust 29, 2014
The country's largest, true, but it's also its best.
Kelly CagleSeptember 10, 2010
Don't forget sunscreen. The heavier the raft, the longer the ride on the Stingray and Time Warp. Team up with the fattest people in line.
Daniel CameronJuly 17, 2013
Tuesdays and Thursdays are the slowest days. AKA Best days to go!

The place to go to see amazingly bad tattoos!

Very nice waterpark! We got lost!!

Noah's Ark has turned into a mess since the new owner bought it. Have a better time go to Mt Olympus. It's just not like it was in 2011 anymore...
Graham AndersonAugust 26, 2012
Try the Dippin' Dots, it's the ice cream of the future.
Jofoto612August 21, 2013
Best water park in the Dells period!

The scorpion tail is fun

Some remodeling occurred for 2012. No more wrist bands unless you ask when you leave.

Deep-Fried Pickles w/ Ranch..Amazing!
Marleina MichelsJune 17, 2014
Food prices are outrageous and you have to pay for parking, which isn't too bad, but they only take cash! Seriously? Who carries cash?
Brently WozniakJuly 4, 2011
Bring flip flops to wear between the rides. The pavement is so hot it burns
Carol 💋💅August 25, 2012
Had to do "The walk of shame" back down the stairs at the "Point of no return" slide. And had about 3 people laugh at me. Just couldn't do it. Lol
