We have been to Great Wolf several times before and the reason I am giving a poor rating on this last stay is that when we arrived after a 3 hour drive we were advised that the toddler area was closed for the entire day. The desk attendant said they could give us a 10% discount as a way of... More

We have stayed at this resort several times - twice last year and once last week. First of all, this is a cool place to visit with your kids so they can have the experience, but in terms of offering great service and comfort? Look elsewhere! Good things: The water park is amazing and the life guards were 100% on... More

The Great Wolf Lodge is a waterpark / theme park with a summer camp feel. Made to resemble a wilderness lodge, it has an impressive lobby complete with a huge stone fireplace. The only reason for staying there is to go to the waterpark as long as possible. Check in begins at 1:00 p.m. and a long line forms at... More

We had a great time at Great Wolf Lodge but watch out, it can get spendy. The waterpark was great as always and we arrived early to get as much water time as we could. Our room was ready early and we were able to check in at 2 instead of 4 (I'm surprised there wasn't an early check in... More

Maybe if you are a family of 4 or so, you can just about justify the cost. But we are 2 people riding bicycles down the Pacific Coast. They took $184 for a bed for the night. And that does not include breakfast. Add to that the fact that the place and the staff have all the charm of an... More

My 14 year old was very excited about going to his first indoor waterpark and was very disappointed. The check-in process was very difficult and long. We had done the online checkin and when we arrived at the hotel we stood in the line for online check in. Well the other line moved much faster and one of the clerks... More

I came here with a group of relatives for a birthday party. My first impression was how busy this place was. I wasn't the one who physically checked in to the property, so I have no idea how long/friendly the check in process is. The accomadtions themselves were pretty standard. The bed was nice. I think they need more entrances... More

We've stayed here 2x, once with little kids (around age 5) and again with older kids (age 16). Both times we all had a blast! My kids complained that the warm chlorine air was difficult to breathe, but other than that it was wonderful. At check in we had a issue where we didn't get a large enough room, the... More

So, we decided to go again! My daughter loves the GWL and it is a good family place, and we keep going back. This time we went as part of a group/birthday party event. The waterpark was clean, the life guards are diligent and a good time was had by all. We ate dinner at the main restaurant. I know... More

This was my second trip to celebrate my daughter's 14th birthday. She had so much fun playing Magiquest last time (at 12). This trip, the game didn't hold her interest for long (Maggi master now), but the water park was more fun. Our room (Kid's cabin) was nice and had semi-separate areas. It would have been nice to have a... More
