Wyndham Glacier Canyon Lodge at Wilderness Territory

From the moment you enter - you will love the decor of
Wyndham Glacier Canyon Lodge at Wilderness Territory

The main lobby area is divided into several sections
A cozy sitting area with sofa & chairs by a fireplace
are located to the left - the middle section has a
staircase down to the lower level - there is another
sittingarea is to the right side - plus an open area
were you can eat or drink and watch tv..
Restrooms are available.. just off the lobby too..

I called this area my family room
I have sat out at my favorite table to read the paper
and watch the flat screen television on the wall. It is
usually cooler in this area because it is so open.

I especially like the cute black bear in the box

There is a store that sells just about everything from
coffee to soda, food and snacks and stuffed animals..

Took a photo of Wilderness Territory`s Monty Moose
and our Famous timeshare traveler Little Lucky the long
eared bunny rabbit on the shelf of the Mercantile store.

This was Little Lucky & his friends
first visit to Wisconsin (Dells) too!

Moosejaw Pizza and Dells Brewing - Route 12 - Lake Delton Wisconsin


Apr 29, 2009 Wednesday Evening
We went out to eat at Moosejaw`s

Bill and I shared the following along with the best french fries in the area.

Moosejaw Black Angus Burger . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $9.99
1/2 pound Black Angus burger with cheese (extra) atop a soft
Kaiser roll with a side of onion, lettuce and tomato and pickles

Pulled BBQ Pork Sandwich . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $9.99

We both had sodas

We sat at a booth in the main dining area on the first floor
Afterward our meal - we went downstairs to look around the
Rathskellar, Arcade, Bar, Meeting Room, Pool Hall & Restroom.

MOOSEJAW, with their 15 barrel "copper-clad" brewhouse, serves 10
different styles of hand-crafted microbrews. They have the capacity
to brew 500-1000 gallons of beer per day. Brewmaster Jamie Martin
is feverishly working on seasonal flavors as well. These brews can be
enjoyed at any of the three bars located within the brewpub.

We learned that the log/wood used to build the restaurant is
from the owners land and that Buffalo Phils is a sister property.

Buffalo Phil`s Grille and Kunkleheads Indoor Amusement Park
is a must see (Located on Rt 12 near The Great Wolf Lodge)
We really liked the Cowboy & Indian posters/photos on the walls.
