We went last year in May,(& headed back this year in May as well); this time we got the Kid Cabin suite for the kids,...so excited! We checked in, found our room, & went right to the water~It's quite a site to take in, but right away you can see what's age appropriate, and since I had a 2,6, & 14 yr old, we went on many things! We all enjoyed Slap Tail Pond, b/c it starts off like a pond/lake, you just walk it and it gets deeper and deeper. My older ones enjoyed the waves, which go in 5 min intervals,(you'll hear a howl to alert you), & they get crazy, you can kind of body surf off of them-My son and I did the Howlin' Tornado a lot, this is for the bigger kids, and it worked us! When we weren't in the water, the kids enjoyed whipping their wands out for an adventure with MagiQuest; great interactive game, & gave mom & dad a break! They have a mirowave,fridge, & coffee maker in the rooms, & I would say take full advantage. I might bring my crockpot next time b/c the restaurant was spendy-The arcade was fun, & a nice escape from the water-We did buy a Paw Pass,(which is about $65, and saves you 25% off), and got to do things like Cub Club,(crafts room, where my daughter colored her own shirt); Snack deals, where we got our sweet tooth fix; the Creation Station, where we got to watch them stuff a toy we picked out,etc... One thing to note: they do a lot of swimming drills/lifesaving drills, we really thought a baby had drowned when they lifted a small(doll) from the water;I was actually upset, but then understood that they do these "drills" to keep the staff,(1-2 for each area) alert,....AND THEY WERE ON THEIR GAME EVERY TIME! The staff at the lodge was helpful and friendly, and we've decided to go back every year!!

Great place for families!!! We have spend Halloween here and love the dance party and the trick or treat trail. Love story time and the tree. Howling good time!!

We love Great Wolf Lodge! First, we live where it rains (a lot) and we get tired of the downpour (a lot) and want to go somewhere close, not too expensive, dry and warm. Hawaii would be nice, but GWL makes a great alternative. For about $250, we can get TWO days in the waterpark plus one overnight stay. If we were to go to anywhere else, that $250 would be spent just for the attractions!

This was my Families 3rd visit at this Great Wolf Lodge. We love it!! The water park cannot be beat. We go in the middle of the week. The crowds are much smaller. Try to get a room away from the stairwell doors. Magiquest players are very loud, and they play the game late into the evening. Great WOlf Lodge is a great value, and we enjoy it as a Staycation.

Everything about GWL is geared toward kids. My two boys loved pretty much everything! The water park was great of course, and we had a camp themed suite with a separate kids sleeping area which they thought was really cool. They really enjoyed the MagiQuest game...they completed the whole game in 2 days! My youngest didn't want to leave and is still sad that we didn't stay longer. He has asked to go there for his birthday!
