This was my first time. My 8 year old loved the water slides. I enjoyed them too. The facility is pretty clean and the staff from the restaurants to the life guards are really friendly and helpful. This is not a relaxing vacation, but there is plenty to do for the kids if you don't mind the prices. Magic quest... More

I am here right now. My daughter,13, and her friend are having a blast. I would say its ideal for ages 6-12. It's entertaining enough for 2 days/1 night but honeystly I don't plan to come back. Unfortunately l have been spoiled by Disney and this place IS DEFINITELY NOT Disney! Kudos to the staff - they are excellent. Pros:... More

I went here for my senior trip. The waterpark was great fun, and it is conveniently located not too far from camelback if you would like to go there. I went with a bunch of friends but I am definite that this would be a good vacation for families. They had a bunch of slides within the park and the... More

My kids adore this place and while it certainly is "pricey" the rooms are always super clean, don't smell like you might think with lots of wet pool soaked guests constantly in and out. The employees are VERY friendly, the arcade is the only one I let my kids play in (no violent games, win lots of tickets for money... More

First time visitors to Great Wolf in Pennsylvania and our overall experience was good (Saturday to Sunday). When we walked into the lobby it was packed but it took us no time at all to check in and get up to our room. We booked the fireplace loft suite and the room was ready at 1pm (check-in is at 4pm)....

We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge during the memorial day weekend. The place is huge and looks similar to the Disney Animal Kingdom lodge. Not sure who "inspired" whom. But to be fair - though this resort is also very kid friendly and has good service like Disney, it is not comparable. It is those small "magical" touches that... More

Two weeks ago I took my 8 year old boy to the Six Flags Great Escape Lodge in NY. We liked it so much so I decided to bring my son to the Great Wolf Lodge. I am so glad we did it in this order because even though the Six Flags was fun, the Great Wolf Lodge is definitely... More

Super expensive. But I have tips for money savings- - Bring your own food. I suggest bring bagels, cereal, get a cooler and keep your water, juice, and milk in there. - For dinner, order delivery. They have McDonalds, Chinese food resteraunts, and pizzareas (theres one inside gwl, but there pretty much the same price. - pretty much, try to... More

As far as the water park goes, couldn't expect more from an indoor place. Kids had a splash, and I enjoyed some of the rides too. Safety seems to be well on the operators minds. Rooms are spacious though maintenance could have been a little better. Dinner in the on-site restaurant was horribly expensive.
