You can find discounted attraction tickets at a number of different places including local hotel, motels and resorts and many Wisconsin Parks & Recreation Departments.  We also saw tickets for sale at Piggly Wiggly and Kelly Williamson stores in Wisconsin in 2006.  The drawbacks to this way of saving money in Wisconsin Dells are that only a select few attractions are available at a discount and the discounts are relatively small, usually about 15-20%.
            
This might be a good way to get your Noah's Ark and Mt Olympus tix later in the summer when their coupons are only $4 off, but you'll still want to get your Wisconsin Dells Coupon Book for the other 100+ merchants out there who don't offer discounted tickets and for all the 2-for-1 and 50 % off deals.
 

If you've been to Wisconsin Dells, then chances are you've seen the booths offering discounted attraction tickets.  The way this program works is that the more attractions you buy up front, the bigger the discount you receive, anywhere from 15-35%. There are several reasons we don't think this is the way to go:

First, unless you buy tickets for 5-7 different attractions, you wouldn't save any more money than you would just picking up the individual discounted attraction tickets as mentioned and explained above (under "Discounted Attraction Tickets).

Secondly, this program requires that you buy all your tickets ahead of time and the tickets are non-refundable.  So if for some reason your trip gets cut short or the weather is bad or you just run out of time for whatever reason, you run the risk of getting stuck with the tickets and losing more money than you thought you saved.

And finally it's worth noting that in 2006, there were only 11 participating attractions in this program, so again, you'll have to look elsewhere to things like the Wisconsin Dells Coupon Book for discounts for the other 100+ businesses in the Dells.
