This is my kind of trip - going to a place that is famous for something and find the rest of the amazing things they have around.

[@feliciafullwood]

Yesss, this is the way to do it!!! Thank you so much for watching! 🙌🏼❤️

[@noggler6211]

Yes, those scenic upper parts are the reason for the other attractions.. So many hidden gorgeous little fairytale oases between all of Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, and Northern Minnesota.. Don’t get me started.. (Pictured Rocks, Boundary Waters, Lake of the Clouds, Copper Falls) Amazing..

[@noggler6211]

Ok, also sticking to the Dells/ Lacrosse area..Cave of the Mounds is so interesting. Completely encapsulated cave system, discovered from digging.. Also the Pennsylvania Dutch people surrounding Wildcat Mountain and the Kickapoo (world’s most winding river) is countryside like you’ve never seen in the US.. It is like driving through the Shire of Midgard..

[@bettyrollins7236]

Devil's Lake is amazing. My aunt and uncle live in many years on a farm outside of Portage. I have been to the Dells many times and my favorite is the upper Dells boat trip. I went to college in Wisconsin. Southern Wisconsin is absolutely amazing.

[@jeffferguson69]

I lived here many years. I’m in Florida now. It’s cool. Devils lake in baraboo is amazing

[@ModernDayPilgrim]

Totally love your Style, Felicia! Just the facts, Ma’am! Pictures and vids are excellent, giving a great visual and verbal review on everything. 💯🙌🏼

[@feliciafullwood]

You are too kind! Thank you SO much for the feedback!! Really appreciate you watching and glad you enjoyed the video☺️❤️

[@notinside1]

There are so many areas that are great here for photography in WI you just scraped the ser surface. And areas surrounding the Dells and Devils lake are great in off season.

[@jules3485]

Plan another trip and head further north! You’ll be even more pleasantly surprised! Even more of a hidden gem 💎

[@jpatt1000]

One of the things I miss seeing in the Dells is the helicopter tour outfit that flew a Hughes 500 in the orange, yellow and brown paint scheme made famous in Magnum P.I. It was always fun to be on a boat tour or walking down town and seeing it flying around!

[@erics607]

If you get a chance, I highly suggest to visit LaCrosse and the surrounding areas. Last week I stayed a night in Prairie du Chien and drove up to LaCrosse following the Mississippi River the entire way, and it was one of the most beautiful drives I have ever done.

[@tonym4136]

I live in lacrosse and I agree! Also there's a scenic viewing on the top of the bluffs where u can see the entire city. It's named, "grand dads bluff"

[@andrewinnkeeper1763]

Prairie is such a cool spot

[@missingremote4388]

I visited the Dell's in 1979, only time. But drove up to devil's lake in 1990; exactly 31 years ago for a day-trip. Then saw a David bowie "Sound and Vision" concert in Milwaukee - Summerfest

[@clintdelcambre8683]

Use to live in Wisconsin. The state is beautiful with really nice people .

[@_qoriaklla4075]

Beautiful video Felicia. It gave me all the info I was looking for to make this trip possible.

[@EffOff]

this was an incredibly well-made video. thank you for sharing your adventure!

[@kevybabs]

This was great. Very informative. Lots of cool options. Thanks.

[@Mark_87]

Gotta do breakfast at Paul Bunyons Dinner isn't good, but their breakfast is great, and part of the tradition 😂👌

[@natalimendoza7435]

omg! I didn't know that Wisconsin Dell is absolutely amazing. I love this video.

[@fenix648]

I got Dells fever! I can't wait for spring/summer!

[@teamoneil6498]

Born and raised in Central WI. I’ve been to the Dells almost every year since I was a teenager but it’s always for water parks! I didn’t know about some of these things!! Always heard about the deer park, looks absolutely amazing! Great video!

[@denmartell4287]

Nicely done, and subscribed. I'm also from Detroit and love short trips as well as the larger scale vacations. The Dells is something on my radar for this spring, thank you for sharing!

[@appleonaya2659]

Thank you Thank you times a million for this video! Driving from Idaho to Vermont and I am so excited to stop at the food truck court and get a nice long hike in. After over 20 hours of driving I'm headed straight for echo Rock trail, 5 hours away. It has been so fun to have that to look forward to can't wait! I wouldn't know about any of this without this video again I can't think you enough do more! :)

[@feliciafullwood]

Ahh thank you so much!! I am so glad this was helpful for you! We had an absolute blast on this trip! There will definitely be a lot more coming! Thanks for watching! :)

[@bettyrollins7236]

What an excellent video of my favorite state Wisconsin. Thank you so much.!!!!!!

[@tiphill4957]

Super cool video…thanks for sharing👍😎

[@momsmushroomsjodyfoster5786]

Loved it! Thank you 😊

[@davidwick4298]

I enjoy your video's and keep them coming.

[@cindyredenius9857]

Beautiful here in Wisconsin 💯💥

[@marshadvorak4239]

Great video. I live in Wisconsin and have never done anything in video but now plan to! Thanks !

[@garrysbeatbox2475]

Glad you got your hands on some curds while you were here!

[@ShondaDoray1]

Great video! Planning to go to the Dells and was wondering what else was there to go along with the water parks!

[@kristyisaacs4761]

Been going to the Dells since i was little! Lots to do in town as well. The Original Ducks are amazing.

[@brianandheatheroutdoors]

Literally laughed out loud at the deer selfies 🤣 love the content! Keep up the great work!

[@feliciafullwood]

HAHA me too bc I didn’t even notice that happened at the time. And thank you! Much appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@sjhbartlet]

Great video great music great tips for our trip up from Chicago

[@annafullwood4715]

So so good ❤️

[@ino7604]

I've never been to the dells but I really want to go camping & kayaking out there. I live in Janesville so I'm not too far. Thanks for showing off the nature! That's what I'm interested in too.

[@jeffferguson69]

I use to do these hikes a lot in summer. Got in real good shape doing it loo

[@christopherwilliams9993]

TY for showing my home, it's beautiful isn't it. The water parks are awesome too

[@pamelaolson5614]

Wisconsin looks real nice.

[@andrewcurnow8626]

The deer trying to eat my hat! 😂😂😂

[@feliciafullwood]

I was dying hahaha I didn’t even know that happened until the photo 😂

[@danielmurphy4429]

Hey Felicia, you truly have a talent for photography. Thanks for a lovely video, next time you’re in Wisconsin, try Wyalusing State Park or Bayfield, up on Lake Superior.

[@feliciafullwood]

ahhh thank you so much I really appreciate that! we definitely have both on our list to visit next time we are in WI! thanks o much for the recommendations and for watching! :)

[@badguy5554]

Talk about a surprising fact: According to one of those boat tour hosts, one of the first persons to explore the Dells was a young army officer, stationed at a frontier fort in the area. His name was Jefferson Davis...the eventual President of the Confederacy.

[@ashleycrane2738]

First time trying cheese curds? Oh no. 😖 Incredible video though! I'm going to Devils Lake next month thanks to you getting the fire lit under my butt haha

[@feliciafullwood]

I know!!!! I’ve always avoided them bc the name freaks me out until I realized it’s just a fried cheese ball 😂😂😂

[@refineme]

I also recommend Cave of The Mounds which is just a little drive from the dells. Amazing caves.

[@feliciafullwood]

Nice!! I will have to check that out next time

[@76fordjunky]

Bella goose coffee is so good in the Dell's

[@ezmomentsphoto]

CHEESE CURDS BABYYY yess!

[@jeffferguson69]

I’m kind of missing this

[@whatupplaya7951]

Check out The Apostle Islands 👍 i Love Wisconsin ❤ It's Beautiful

[@PRiMETiMEGMFB]

How far was the drive from oak hill to the city of the dells?

[@createfilms6000]

Such a sick place to visit!

[@royalbutterfly2160]

Hi from a small town really close to Wisconsin dells

[@erikbalanza]

Going there in a couple weeks, thanks for some ideas for some stuff to do outside the waterparks

[@chtansey10]

No, I was wondering if you have other video clips and is there a subscribe button that I can click on?

[@sambrandner]

Welcome to this side of the pond 😂😁

[@feliciafullwood]

Hahaha, thank you! We will be back for sure 😎

[@dodgeguyz]

The dells are amazing once you get off the main strip.

[@rosepink2773]

Where is this Wisconsin for mountain and for animals? Thank you 🙏🏻

[@kevineverson3208]

If you want to go to a gem that 1000 times more beautiful and remote in Wisconsin go to Door County Wi. U will be blown away.

[@alejandrorubio6831]

wow 13;5 !!!!

[@xiongxiongloft5937]

How much is the boat trip

[@Hwy20W]

Viewed Video on tv. Fun to watch. Only criticism is slow your speech down, find that rhythm or cadence. Play it at 33.3 vs 78. That said, I subscribed!😊

[@Top5ForYouyt]

Which park do you recommend as number 1 Wisconsin Dells?

[@samplautz5586]

I live 15 minutes from Wisconsin dells and never knew witches gulch existed

[@feliciafullwood]

That's awesome! I hope you get to see it soon! :)

[@ashleycrane2738]

How many people would you say were on the boat tour? I feel like I'm going to be disappointed at the crowd.

[@feliciafullwood]

I was worried about this too! But we did go during off time when water parks weren’t open yet so the boat was not even 50% full. So mid summer deff might be a little busier but I still definitely think it would be worth it vs going there and NOT seeing it! And go for the morning tour for the least chance of crowds! :)

[@badguy5554]

@@feliciafullwood In the summer the boats are usually full. But not a problem.

[@chrisschanen]

There used to be so much to do in Wisconsin dells other than the stupid water parks. Unfortunately a lot of the attractions closed down like Wonder spot and that kind of thing. But you have to see the nature when you go to Wisconsin dells do not waste your time in a water park. If you want get out of day pass and go to Noah's ark or something. But it's been the rest of the time exploring the town

[@musicfanhawk4523]

Devil's lake is not in Wisconsin Dells it's in Baraboo Wisconsin

[@marmar92828]

Wisconsin Dells is an amazing and beautiful place to visit- but if you don't drive or have access to a car, it SUCKS! No transit at all, and good luck trying to call a taxi when you need one! None of the taxi companies answer their phones most of the time! I went on a once-in-a-lifetime trip there recently and was very, very limited in what I was able to do, because of the lack of transportation. I ended up doing LOTS of walking, which ate up my time to actually visit places. And had to walk about three miles from my hotel back into town, dragging all my luggage, on the day I left because I couldn't get a ride! Loved the area, the taxi companies, not so much. What a joke!

[@NeuroGeek85]

Fyi to anyone wanting to stay at this place.... They are NOT kid friendly. Only over 12+ years old are allowed. :-(
