Next fall, family travelers will have even more reason to enjoy a Wisconsin trip. Wisconsin Dells Kalahari Waterpark is currently undergoing an $85 million expansion, which will see its popular waterpark expand.

 

Park of Kalahari Resorts & Conventions, the 75,000-square-foot Wisconsin Dells Kalahari Waterpark begins the expansion following the recent addition of hundreds of rooms. In addition to an expanded waterpark, the resort will also feature three new waterslides: Cheetah Mat Racers, Green Python and Wild Wildebeest. Both Green Python and Wild Wildebeest take six riders on twists and turns for an unforgettable experience.

 

The expansion will also encompass a spa pool, adult swim-up bar, retractable roof, Watering Hole with zero-depth entry and tanning ledges, and more. Little kids can splash in Coral Cove Kiddie Slide Pool, too.

 

Guests enjoy improved seating options, a 40-foot-wide TV display, and expanded food and beverage offerings.

Kalahari Resorts & Conventions currently operate in four U.S. destinations, including the Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania; Round Rock, Texas; Sandusky, Ohio (Ohio’s largest indoor waterpark!); and Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. The brand opens its newest location in 2026 in Spotsylvania County, Virginia.

Celebrate the Holidays on Italy’s Lake Garda

Typically thought of as a summer escape, Lake Garda offers holiday festivities for all ages, making a trip well worth it during the off-season. Grand Hotel Fasano, a historical lakeside retreat, remains open beyond its traditional early-November closure this year to welcome guests for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s celebrations. The hotel will remain open through Jan. 6, 2027.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.
