Hey Nancy and Sabrina, we are about 1 hour from the dells so we are there frequently. I've stayed at Treasure Island, Great Wolf Lodge, and Wilderness, but once we stayed at the Kalahari....we never went back to the others. I encourage you to check it out. What may make a difference is that we have a 15 year old (actually 6 kids age 15 down to one) who LOVED all the larger slides and if your kids are younger, they may not care as much for the biggies. We have such a wide age range for the children and EVERYONE enjoyed the Kalahari, like you Sabrina....we rarely go to any other attractions. Also if you get the chance...they're condo's are MUCH nicer than their regular rooms and you can usually get some kind of a deal on rates with the condos.
DO NOT go to the big leaning house (looks like it's upside down) my dh and son went and said it was a terrible waste of money. We were just at Noah's Ark the other day, but it was too crowded and I swear I must have walked 20 miles by the end of the day carrying our 1 1/2 year old and 3 year old - too exhausting and too long of wait on the rides....better off to stay at a hotel waterpark!!
Have a blast!!!! (hey I wasn't able to access your pix....said I didn't have the code???? what's up with that??)
