AmericInn & Suites by Wyndham Baraboo Event Center
Lazy river and heated pool, twenty minutes from the Dells
About this hotel
AmericInn & Suites by Wyndham Baraboo Event Center is the one property near Noah's Ark that combines a pet-friendly policy with lazy river-style pools, an indoor heated pool and a hot tub, all within an easy drive of Circus World Museum, Devil's Lake State Park and the International Crane Foundation. Wisconsin Dells itself, described in the hotel's own materials as the 'Waterpark Capital of the World', sits only eight miles away, keeping the bigger water parks realistically in reach for a day trip. The exercise room and sauna give parents a wellness stop that pairs naturally with the lazy river's slower pace, and free wireless internet and a weekday newspaper round out a stay that works for a business traveller as easily as a vacationing family with a dog in tow.
- Lazy river pools
- Pet-friendly
- Near Circus World Museum
Our take
The only lazy river and the only genuinely pet-friendly heated-pool option near Noah's Ark, twenty minutes south in Baraboo. It suits families prioritizing a slower pool pace and a dog-friendly room over walking distance to the water parks. Families wanting to be inside the main Dells hotel cluster should look at a Lake Delton property instead.
- ✓Book a night specifically for the lazy river as a recovery day after your busiest Noah's Ark visit.
- ✓Confirm pet fees ahead of arrival, since policies can shift seasonally even at generally pet-friendly properties.
- ✓Add an International Crane Foundation stop nearby; it's the only place in the world to see all fifteen crane species.

Why guests love itBringing the dog nearly meant skipping this trip until this property turned up, and the twenty-minute drive to Noah's Ark was a small price for keeping the whole family together. The lazy river became the after-dinner routine, slow circles while the sun went down, genuinely more relaxing than another round of slides. The sauna gave the adults a proper wind-down too. It's a rare combination near the Dells: a real lazy river, a pet-friendly room and a quieter setting than the main strip.
