Good afternoon, Wisconsin!

Ellie here. I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend!
I know I did. I spent my time relaxing outside, enjoying the warm weather, and turning my brain off. Did you do anything fun this Memorial Day weekend? Let me know!
Now that the Memorial Day weekend has passed, I consider it officially summer. That means that it’s time for the beach, the boat, or the pool.
And speaking of which, today, we’re looking at which Wisconsin Dells waterpark is perfect for you. We’ll also look at what meteorologists have in the forecast for Wisconsin’s summer, and another edition of the Badger State Buzz!

The hardest part of planning a trip anywhere is usually packing, or the act of actually traveling to the destination. But when that destination is Wisconsin Dells, one of the most difficult parts is probably picking where to stay. Travelers flock to Wisconsin Dells in droves to enjoy its stunning scenery, like its namesake Dells along the Wisconsin River, visit its theme parks, and of course, stay overnight in one of the city’s many waterparks.
Wisconsin Dells is known as the Waterpark Capital of the World, and for good reason: the city has numerous waterparks for visitors to choose from, each with unique amenities and features. There are massive waterpark resorts with dozens of slides, shopping opportunities, and dining options. Or, there are more laid-back options, with just a couple of slides and swim-up pools—perfect for adults who want some waterpark fun without all of the chaos. Some offer both indoor and outdoor waterparks, catering to visitors all year long, while others are only available in the summer.

Four different forecasts – from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, AccuWeather, Farmers’ Almanac and Old Farmer’s Almanac – have sought to answer that question, each with varying results.
Here’s what each of the forecasts has to say about the upcoming summer in Wisconsin.
