Tail-Wagging Adventures
Of course, you’ll want to take your pet along to see the sights. For an outdoor enthusiast, you can enjoy a hike at one of the three nearby state parks – Rocky Arbor, Mirror Lake, and Devil’s Lake – or take a scenic tour along the beautiful Wisconsin River with Dells Boat Tours.
If your furry friend prefers a more leisurely stroll, walk through the Scenic River Walk in downtown Wisconsin Dells and take a cute photo of your dog at the Elm Street Plaza mural wall. You can also capture your vacation memories forever with a photo at Old Abe’s Old Time Portraits or Totally 80’s.
If your pup is on the petite side, then you’re a “go” for a ride on the Original Wisconsin Ducks and Dells Army Ducks. Pile in the car and head to Big Sky Twin Drive-In Theater for an old-fashioned movie night under the stars.
If you do end up needing doggie daycare, or yummy pet-friendly treats, the owners at Pet Retreat will welcome Fido or Fluffy with open arms.
