Under $100 / North America

Popular summer resort area The Dells, in Wisconsin, offers a range of family-friendly activities that easily suit a multigenerational group of travelers. Fill your days with scenic tours, boat rides, waterpark fun and nightly live entertainment.

 

A number of hotels and lodges offer small cafes and breakfast bars, so start your day at the closest one to you. Expect to spend around $12 for breakfast and coffee.

 

Next, visit a waterpark for the bulk of your morning and afternoon. Options like Mt. Olympus, Kalahari Resort and Chula Vista offer plenty of great options for amusement. There are even indoor options for rainy days or cold weather. Admission runs around $30 per day, and lunch will add another $15.

 

Dry off for the afternoon in the downtown area, which offers numerous shops and boutiques to peruse. It’s also a welcome detour after a busy day of sunshine and splashing at a water park. Shop for souvenirs, snacks and other gifts.

 

End your day at a restaurant downtown, where you can find everything from steakhouses to supper clubs to more casual bar-and-grill-style establishments. The rest of your budget, $43, will suit you well.
