Mt. Olympus Resorts
The slides and the theme park are the resort grounds
About this hotel
Mt. Olympus Resorts is unusual among the hotels near the park because it is not near the park at all, it is the park, with the resort's rooms opening directly onto the same grounds as the indoor and outdoor water and theme park. Families reach the pools, slides and rides without a shuttle or a drive, which changes the rhythm of a multi-day trip entirely, from a toddler's rainy-morning indoor pool session to an afternoon on the outdoor coasters once the sun comes out. A bar, restaurant and kitchen facilities in some rooms mean the whole day, swimming, rides and meals, can happen without leaving the property. The resort closes each day on the same fact that opens it: nothing here requires a car.
- On-site water and theme park
- Multiple indoor and outdoor pools
- Restaurant and bar on-site
- Free parking
Our take
I would book Mt. Olympus Resorts when the water park and theme park are the whole point of the trip, because both sit on the resort grounds and the car can stay parked for days. Families with a toddler and a teenager each get a reason to stay put, from shallow pools to rides. Anyone hoping for quiet evenings should look at a smaller property nearby.
- ✓Book well ahead for summer weekends, since on-site rooms at the park itself sell out before nearby hotels do.
- ✓Ask which pools are indoor versus outdoor at check-in, since outdoor sections close for the season before winter.
- ✓Request a room with a kitchen if available, since it cuts down on restaurant costs across a multi-night stay.
Why we love it
- Rooms open directly onto the park itself

Why guests love itMy advice for families: treat Mt. Olympus Resorts as a single base for a multi-day Wisconsin Dells trip. The indoor and outdoor water and theme park belong to the resort, so mornings can start in the indoor pools before heading outside, with no shuttle to plan. Some rooms include kitchen facilities, handy for simple breakfasts and suppers, while the on-site restaurant and bar cover other meals. Parking is free for guests who arrive by car.
