WISCONSIN DELLS, Wis. -- Area tourist attractions are opening their doors after last week's storms and flooding kept some visitors away.Baraboo's Circus World Museum is back in business after shutting down temporarily from the floods.Luckily, Circus World didn't get hit too hard. Officials said that only 10 of the circus world's 200 historic wagons were in danger. Many antique musical instruments were also saved from ruin, WISC-TV reported.Meanwhile, Mount Olympus, Wisconsin Dell's only mega-park, announced that it's giving all future guests of all resorts located on Lake Delton free water park passes.A representative for the park said that since guests aren't able to enjoy Lake Delton anymore, they should be able to enjoy the water park for free, WISC-TV reported.Man-made Lake Delton was emptied when the rain-swollen lake burst through an earthen embankment, cut through a portion of Highway A and flowed into the nearby Wisconsin River. Several homes on the lake were damaged in the rush of water.
