Tommy Bartlett Thrill Show

I took my two children to the show, which was lots of fun by itself. They gave us a ride on a golf cart down to the show area, as I recently broke my toe and am wearing this embarrassing bulky boot. The kids working there were all so friendly and talented, I was very impressed--that level of service is hard to come by these days, whether small town or city.

On June 7, 2008, the Bartlett show closed when Lake Delton, the body of water where the show takes place, flooded after torrential rains. Two days later, Lake Delton breached the embankment of County Highway A, creating a new channel around Lake Delton Dam going toward the Wisconsin River. The breach drained the lake almost completely, in particular the area of the show's grandstand. The show reopened on Thursday, June 12, but without its famous water skiers. They, like Lake Delton, will apparently be gone for the rest of the 2008 season

Why the drastic change to the pirate theme? I have seen the show almost every year since 1985 and have really enjoyed the "Hollywood" type theme that was used in the past. The pirate theme takes the class out of the show that it formerly had. We also noticed the space shuttle act has been taken out of the show also, what a loss that is. I beg you to put the classy act back together and dump the pirates!!!

One of the best shows you will see. From the water skiers to the laser light show and entrancing waters, I must see in the Dells Area for all ages.

This show is the first waterski show I've been to that I paid for. I was expecting to be 'wowed' with things that only money can buy. I was wrong. Everything they did boat/ski wise was nothing new, nothing spectacular. The $21 for a ticket just got me a real, permanent seat. They really are making a killing on this. Go up north to see the Minocquabats. They're a free show that can do all the same stuff. And when you have people doing it for show and fun it's a better show altogether.

We went to the show with a group of 15 people we had kids and adults. The comedian was so bad he could hardley make the audience laugh. The popcorn and cotton candy tasted like it was a week old. I remember the show years ago and it was much better than it is now. The children got very bored and we ended up leaving the show early because they couldn't keep their attention. It was such a waste of money and time.

The Show got a little long, but had plenty of different types of entertainment/group throughout the entire show. Older children and up would probably enjoy it most.

Every year since I can remember my family has had reunions in Wisconsin Dells. And every year we make sure we get our tickets to the Tommy Bartlett Water Show. It is great fun for everyone!

Great entertainment very exciting and i am looking forward to going back.

This is a very spectacular water show. Our entire family loved it from start to finish: from Aqua the Clown to Man with a Kite.
