My multigenerational group of family members, ranging from preschoolers to septuagenarians, had a good time on our trip to Wisconsin Dells, but I wouldn't go back.

In December, my parents gifted my siblings and me a family vacation. We all live in different places, and getting together can be challenging, especially now that there are 14 of us, including kids. With everyone's schedules, it took over a year to get a trip on the books. We all suggested ideas for various family-friendly destinations in the US, but when my stepsister mentioned she and her husband were heading to Wisconsin for a work trip, a new idea began to take shape: Wisconsin Dells.The city is a popular Midwest vacation spot for families because of its stunning natural beauty and many kid-friendly attractions.Famously, it's also considered the "Water Park Capital of the World" because of its high concentration of both indoor and outdoor water parks, from Great Wolf Lodge to Land of Natura. We found a vacation rental that catered to families, and our kids didn't want to leaveAs a tourist destination, Wisconsin Dells offers all kinds of accommodations, and finding one that fit our family proved easier than expected. With so many hotels and resorts, we were happy to stay away from the water-park traffic in a VRBO vacation rental in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of town.
