answer:Better- Northern Wisconsin. I discovered a little town in northern Wisconsin when planning our first family vacation over 10 years ago. We originally planned on visiting Wisconsin Dells, but I wanted something a little less touristy. I am so happy I found our little slice of heaven up north. It was everything we were looking for, and more. Worse- New York City (sorry NYC fans) It was way too crowded for my liking, plus it smelled. :(
