A new amusement park could be coming to Wisconsin Dells but it will need further approval from the city and state before construction can start.
The Wisconsin Dells Plan Commission approved a conditional use permit and site plan for Lower Dells Adventures, LLC to construct the first phase of an outdoor amusement park at its meeting Monday.
Lower Dells Adventure LLC Owner Adam Makowski presents his plans to construct The Land of Natura amusement park on over 70 acres of property near the lower Wisconsin River in Wisconsin Dells. The plan commission approved a conditional use permit and site plan for phase 1 of the project March 8 and will go to the common council for further review at its March 15 meeting.
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced restaurants in New Braunfels to adapt their operations to survive, but after a year of uncertainty and with more vaccines administered and capacity limits lifted, owners are expressing optimism that diners will return as the spring and summer tourist season approaches.
Ron Snider, owner of Krauseâs Cafe on South Castell Avenue, said the winter storm last month created a setback for the restaurant, but sales have been good otherwise.
âThe customers are out,â Snider said. âThereâs been a good flow of customers, and it seems as though spring break has started already. Yes, Iâm optimistic. I think weâre going to have a good summer here in New Braunfels. Everybody loves New Braunfels, and itâs a great place for a âdaycation.â I think weâre going to see lots of customers. Weâre hoping for good weather and blue skies.â
