Getting the whole family together isn't always easy. Between work schedules, school calendars, sports, activities and everyday life, finding time when grandparents, parents and grandchildren can all be in the same place can feel like an accomplishment on its own.
That's what makes a multigenerational getaway so special.
If you're planning a family vacation in Wisconsin with kids and grandkids, Chula Vista Resort in Wisconsin Dells makes it easier to bring everyone together. With accommodations for groups of different sizes, indoor and outdoor waterparks, dining, golf, spa services and other activities available right at the resort, every generation can find their own way to enjoy the trip.
Most importantly, there's plenty of time to simply be together.
Why Choose Chula Vista Resort for a Multigenerational Family Vacation?
The challenge with planning a three-generation vacation is finding a destination that isn't designed for just one generation.
The kids want excitement. Parents want the kids entertained. Grandparents may want to join the action—but probably appreciate opportunities to slow down, too.
Chula Vista Resort gives families options.
The waterparks can be the center of the kids' vacation while adults relax poolside or join in the fun. Grandparents can spend the morning with the grandkids and take the afternoon at their own pace. Adults can schedule a spa treatment, enjoy a round of golf when the course is in season or simply find somewhere comfortable to catch up.
Best of all, you don't have to convince the entire family to do the same thing every minute of the day.
Everyone can enjoy the resort their way and meet back up for the moments that matter.
Find Accommodations for Kids, Parents and Grandparents
One of the first questions when planning a family vacation in Wisconsin with kids and grandkids is simple:
Where is everyone going to sleep?
Chula Vista Resort offers accommodations ranging from traditional hotel rooms to spacious condos and larger options that can accommodate families traveling together.
Depending on your group's size and preferences, that could mean sharing a larger accommodation or booking nearby rooms so everyone has a little more personal space.
Having the family close makes spontaneous moments easier, too. Grandkids can visit Grandma and Grandpa in the morning. Everyone can meet for breakfast. There's no coordinating between separate hotels when it's time to head to the waterpark.
And when younger family members need a break—or grandparents are ready for some peace and quiet—your room isn't far away.
A Wisconsin Family Vacation Where Everyone Has Something to Do
A great multigenerational vacation doesn't need an hour-by-hour itinerary.
At Chula Vista Resort, families can build their days around what sounds fun.
Spend hours splashing together at the resort's waterparks. Challenge each other in the arcade. During warmer months, head outside and enjoy seasonal resort activities. Golfers can schedule a round at the on-site Cold Water Canyon Golf Course, while those looking for a slower pace can enjoy some relaxation at Navi Spa.
Even better, grandparents don't have to sit on the sidelines.
Watching your grandchild race down a waterslide, sharing a meal together or simply hearing about their favorite part of the day can be just as memorable as the big attractions.
That's the advantage of choosing a resort with experiences for different ages and interests: everyone gets a vacation.
Make Family Meals Part of the Memory
Some of the best vacation conversations happen around the table.
Chula Vista Resort offers multiple on-site dining options, making it easier to gather everyone for a meal without loading the entire family into multiple cars.
Keep things casual when the kids are hungry after the waterpark, grab something convenient between activities or make one evening special with dinner at Kaminski's Chop House.
For grandparents treating the family to a getaway, dinner can also become one of those rare opportunities to have children and grandchildren gathered around the same table—with no practices to rush to, homework waiting at home or work meetings starting in an hour.
Just family.
Take the Pressure Off Planning a Multigenerational Vacation
There's a temptation when the whole family finally gets together to make every minute count.
You don't have to.
In fact, leaving room in the schedule can make the trip even better.
Pick one or two things you'd really like to experience together each day, then allow everyone some freedom. Maybe the grandparents want a quiet morning while the kids head straight for the waterpark. Perhaps part of the family wants to golf while everyone else relaxes. Then regroup for dinner and swap stories about the day.
When lodging, dining and activities are available in one resort, plans can be flexible without becoming complicated.
And sometimes the unplanned moments—a grandchild asking Grandpa to go down the waterslide one more time or everyone laughing over dinner—become the stories your family tells for years.
