There are plenty of thrills there, too! Night fishing, waterfall chasing or snowmobiling in the Northwoods are sure ways to get your blood pumping.

If you chose mostly Bs:

The Wisconsin Dells

The “Water Park Capital of the World” has a little bit of something for everyone. Tall roller coasters and water slides will keep an adrenaline junkie satisfied. If those aren’t your thing, magic shows, haunted houses or riding in one of the Wisconsin Ducks will give you the excitement you’re looking for. The Dells has so much to offer, you’ll never feel bored.

If you chose mostly Cs:

Milwaukee

Between the great food and cool museums, Milwaukee is a great place to visit if you’re looking for a thrill. Catch a Bucks or Brewers game before a night on the town. Don’t forget to listen to some live music or visit the Milwaukee County Zoo while you’re there. Being around the buzz of Wisconsin’s biggest city will make you feel alive.
