Jellystone Park™ in Caledonia, WI home to one of Milwaukee area’s largest outdoor Waterslides
The Isaacson family is now operating in their eighth camping season with many remarkable changes that have taken place since they have been involved as owner/operators. Over those eight years, Jellystone Park in Caledonia has transformed everything from campsites and bathroom facilities to the addition of their Water Zone area including an Activity Pool, Water Wars games and Yogi’s Picnic Splash Water Playground, Laser Tag games and more. And even though that covers almost all you can imagine, the list of improvements and new amenities continues on each year.
Majority owners Randy and Theresa, along with their three adult daughters Rachel, Bridget and Marley and their families, operate the camp-resort from early May through mid-October each year. Having camped at another Jellystone Park location while their family was young and growing, the family has a great appreciation for what their guests are looking for out of their family vacation.
General Manager and middle daughter, Bridget Bender says “Jellystone Park was our family vacation spot each summer and we always looked forward to seeing what new things they had added or improved each year when we drove in. Now as a Mother of two small children, I can appreciate the nostalgia in knowing your returning to a comfortable, familiar place where you have made so many family memories. The icing on the cake is when that familiar place has all of your favorite things, with the addition of fun new things to add to your memory bank”. It seems as though the campers that come to Caledonia are no different.
Jellystone Park in Caledonia adds fun new elements annually for their guests to look forward to. This season campers have seen several changes including: new mini golf greens and brick barriers, a major bathroom face lift complete with beautiful new tile and stucco to shower and restroom facilities, two beautiful premium campsites, and four basic cabins. One of the most notable changes is the addition of a big new waterslide.
The new waterslide is a 30” diameter enclosed polyethylene slide. Riders scale approximately a fifteen foot tower to before zipping down a 173.5 foot red waterslide that drops a total of 25 feet during 7 to 13 second ride. Smaller riders go a little slower which is perfect for the kids who might be a little frightened, and great for adults who are heavier and want more of a thrill ride. Riders must be 42” tall and must be under the 250lb weight requirement which the slide was engineered to meet.
The waterslide was just the attraction the Isaacson’s were looking for to fill a gap and add something for ages 12 to adults. “The feedback we’ve gotten from riders has been fun to listen to” says Bender. “Everyone loves the new waterslide, but the adults seem to be more surprised by it than anyone. This is what might explain the look on people’s faces as they exit the flume. Everyone has a shocking look on their face initially as if they are surprised by its speed, and then it is all smiles.” Even though this waterslide is a delightful addition for campers, it actually will have a sister slide that will accompany it in 2013 to give campers that much more to rave about. From sitting by the fire and making smores, to zipping down a waterslide, Jellystone Park in Caledonia has all the excitement and relaxation anyone might want in a vacation.
