Loved my stay at Great Wolf Lodge! I stayed there during Halloween time and there were so many activities every hour of the day going on for my kids. I have 2 kids under 2 and they had a blast! This place is better than Disney World for younger kids. I loved that all of the activities and indoor water park were all included with my room reservation. Awesome place! Will definitely good back.

Manager told us one thing, we’ve yet to see it.

We arrived at the hotel at around 5:00. Check-in time was 4:00 yet we had to wait over half an our to get access to our room, not getting in until 5:30. Half of the water park was shut down for part of our stay. The manager took our name and room information and said we would be receiving 1/2 off of our stay. We have not received any reimbursement yet, even though it has been over 2 weeks. Another option was to get a free night's stay. We did not receive a certificate or anything for a free night either.

Parking

It is fun and very enjoyable for the family! But I just don’t understand why they would charge you for parking in their parking lot ? You already pay an enormous amount to stay and high prices for everything in their hotel and I’m not complaining about that but then be charged to Park your car? Why where would they expect you to park ? Their a Hotel usually parking in their parking lot comes with renting a room !

Amazing experience for our family. We can’t wait to come back soon. The room was extremely clean. The wrist band room charge was spectacular so we didn’t have to carry around our wallets. Story time at 8pm was a perfect way to calm the kids before heading back to our room. Dance party’s were a blast! Of course the water park was hours of fun nice and warm. Over all I highly recommend experiencing great wolf lodge with your family

Great place for families. The staff are kind and helpful. Check in lines can be extremely long and even though I got an email inviting me to check in online, it didn’t work. They also started charging $15/night for parking which I wasn’t expecting.
