Looking for a cheap, epic weekend road trip with the kids? I talked my son into a quick father-son getaway from the Fox Valley down to Devil’s Lake and the Dells for Memorial Day weekend, and man, did we score.
We locked down a wild $59 deal at Mt. Olympus that included a room and park passes, crushed the gorgeous West Bluff Trail at Devil's Lake, grabbed world-famous burgers at Monk's, and discovered an awesome, high-energy spot called The Grateful Shed (live music, indoor food trucks, and co****le!).
Day two was all about the outdoor park—including my son tackling a 145-foot body waterslide (pro tip: wear a tight swim shirt unless you want your back completely shredded by fiberglass 😅) and surviving the crazy underground tunnels on the Hades 360 coaster.
Read the full breakdown on the blog for our route, food stops, and tips for locking down the ultimate budget-friendly Dells weekend! 👇
