Polynesian Hotel & Suites Wisconsin Dells
A tiki-themed water park of its own
About this hotel
Polynesian Hotel & Suites Wisconsin Dells builds its own themed water park, complete with slides and activities, around family suites and kitchen-equipped rooms, giving families a self-contained alternative to Mt. Olympus itself. The tiki theming sets a slightly different tone from the strip's biggest anchor resort, calmer in the evenings, with kitchen facilities that let a family cook a simple meal instead of eating out every night of a longer stay. A bar and free parking round out a property built for a multi-day trip with kids of different ages, where a toddler's shallow splash time and an older kid's bigger slides can both happen on the same grounds without a drive to another park.

Our take
This resort suits families wanting their own themed water park with a calmer evening atmosphere than the strip's biggest anchor resort, plus kitchen facilities for longer stays. It suits less well families wanting the largest possible slide selection, since this property's water park is more compact than Mt. Olympus's full grounds.
- ✓Book a kitchen-equipped room if planning a longer stay, since cooking some meals meaningfully cuts costs.
- ✓Ask about the water park's current slide lineup at check-in, since offerings can shift seasonally.
- ✓Reserve early for summer weeks, since themed family suites sell out ahead of standard rooms here.
Why we love it

Why guests love itWe'd stayed at Mt. Olympus itself the year before, so this felt like a quieter finish to our Wisconsin Dells week, with a kitchenette that let us skip a couple of restaurant dinners after long slides days. The tiki theming was a hit with our kids, and the on-site water park kept them entertained without a single drive to another park.
