Our family of four (kids ages 3 & 6) stayed for one night last week, and are looking forward to returning in the future. We booked during a 48 hour sale, so we had the Kid Kamp suite for $199. Although still pricey, I feel it was a good value to get away during winter and spend 2 days at a water park. The kids LOVED the bunkbeds. Parent's bed wasn't too comfy, but for one night we survived. We arrived on a Thursday and checked out Friday so it wasn't crowded at all. No problems finding seats anywhere in the water park and no lines either. The airtemp in the water park was warm, but the water was a little cool. Kids didn't mind at all and had a blast!

We arrived at 4pm and were pleased to discover Happy Hour runs from 4-6pm with $3.00 beer, wine, and well drinks. It is in the upstairs bar, but you can carry those drinks down to the water park. For dinner, we ordered the pizza family deal which wasn't bad. There is a fridge and microwave in the room so we packed drinks and snacks.

After check out, we stayed to play Magiquest. If you live in the area, and cannot finish the quests during your stay, you could come back since the wand stays active for 4 days. Our kids got bored quickly and we didn't go back, but at least we already own a wand for next time and just have to pay the activation fee for a future visit.

You certainly could spend a fortune on the other activities like stuffing your own animal like Build A Bear, tatoos, hair braiding, kid spa, and arcade games, but there is simple word that other parents could use to keep their costs down= "NO".

We will definitely be back. Great quick getaway!

The Great Wolf Lodge is undoubtably a very neat place. It would be much more attractive if you could purchase a day pass instead of having to stay at the hotel.

The room was less than adequate. The bed for the adults was horrible. Any corner motel has a more comfortable bed. The kids area in the room was neat, however it does not shine bright enough to compensate for the incredibly high room price.

The main restaurant was ok. It was a little overpriced and they struggled keeping the buffet stocked. The smaller restaurants were very overpriced.

The staff was ok. There were some very nice people and some terrible. My experience with one staff member is the most prominent memory and is terrible.

My advice, spend a little more money and go to a real resort or theme park. Great Wold Lodge needs to fine tune the operation.

2 families; both children aged 3. 1 night in the Grand Bear Suite. We had a great time! My only complaint is that it was a little cold. We brought snacks and only paid for breakfast and dinner. We will definitely go back.

All the reviews are right on. Fun for the kids, money drain for the adults. My whole family is sick from the chlorine in the pool. Everyone I know who has gone has gotten sick. Be aware.
