Where is the waterpark capital of the world located?

Known and loved as the “Waterpark Capital of the World”, Wisconsin Dells is home to the largest concentration of indoor and outdoor waterparks on Earth — over 20 different parks.



The self-proclaimed "Waterpark Capital of the World" is Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. This small Midwestern town earns the title by hosting the highest concentration of indoor and outdoor waterparks on the planet, with over 20 different parks featuring more than 200 waterslides. The area pioneered the "indoor waterpark resort" concept in the 1990s, allowing it to become a year-round destination despite Wisconsin's harsh winters. Major resorts like Kalahari, Wilderness, and Mt. Olympus offer massive indoor facilities, while Noah’s Ark stands as America's largest outdoor waterpark. The Dells attracts over 4 million visitors annually, fueled by constant innovation in "water coaster" technology and wave pool design. Beyond the slides, the town utilizes its natural beauty—the scenic sandstone cliffs of the Wisconsin River—to complement its man-made attractions, making it a quintessential family vacation hub that has redefined the aquatic entertainment industry over the last three decades.
