Mini golf and go-karts in Wisconsin Dells

Mini golf and go-karts are as much a part of the Dells as the waterparks. The outdoor courses and tracks along the Parkway and Highway 13 run from spring into fall, and a few indoor spots near Kalahari and downtown keep going all year, which makes them good rainy-day backups.

We've played Pirate's Cove, the blacklight course at Wild Fun Zone and the rides at Tom Foolery's. The rest are on the list from research, and each card says which is which.
