Wisconsin is known for its dairy industry, the water parks in the Wisconsin Dells and the rising number of murders in its quiet bed and breakfasts. No, there isn't a crime spree sweeping the state, but, rather, a fun new way to spend the night. For folks looking for a murder mystery and haven't a clue as to where to go, head to an inn in Wisconsin for a night of intrigue.
Join in the murder mystery fun at the The White Rose Inns, Bed & Breakfast and Motel, about an hour north of Madison, in Wisconsin Dells. Guests can settle in for the weekend while Saturday night features a murder mystery plus a four-course dinner. The murder mystery dinner is an additional fee per person, which is in addition to the room rate.
The White Rose Inns offers a variety of accommodations, from motel rooms to bed and breakfast guest rooms. Guests have access to the onsite outdoor heated pool and gardens and each room has cable television and WiFi connection.
