I absolutely loved this place. We had a fairly large family visit and it was wonderful. The decor and atmosphere is truly outstanding. This is a fun and magical experience for adults and children alike.

Wonderful adventures with all that the Great Wolf Lodge has to offer. One night wasn’t enough to take in all of the activities. We’ll be back again this winter!

April, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Just okay-ish

For the most part our room was okay but definitely not for the price. The bed was very lumpy, the headboard was loose and noisy. The air conditioner could not be on "auto" or it sounded like a jet engine and did not regulate the temperature in the room, keeping us from restful sleep.

Kids cabin review

The check in process was a little crazy. I had to talk to a staff member while also using a kiosk. She was asking my questions while at the same time I had to scan cards and answer questions at the kiosk. I was also unaware of the $19 per night parking fee (I may have missed this on the hotels.com listing). The waterpark was great, I wish you could take the towels up to your room instead of freezing waiting for one of only 2 elevators. The food is incredibly pricey. The room was cute but for $400 I expected a little more luxury. All in all my kids had a great time but the price is prohibitive to returning.

Nebu, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

So so

Total kid place, like Chuck E Cheese on steroids, lol everything about the great wolf Lodge is about spending money, feels less like a vacation and more like a trip to the arcade, I know that's why families come here, but make it a bit more affordable, include it in the price of the stay, instead of making every little thing an extra charge. Just feels like so much greed.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

Had a wonderful time during our stay. Every staff member we encountered was super friendly and helpful! Nice dining choices although we did door dash once for a different option and to save a few $$. I let my kids talk mama bear into riding each water slide when I’d only planned on watching them enjoy-I’M SO GLAD I DID! Over all, Fantastic Trip!
