This vacation topped our family vacations so far. Everything was so fun and easy to do. Our room was perfect and clean. I loved how some things had different hours so we could feel like we were able to do things without missing out on others. I highly recommend family of all sizes and ages. Someone saw my wristband I hadn’t taken off yet and asked because she had been thinking but was traveling with young kids. My kids range from 5-16 and we all enjoyed it very much!

They people working were amazing. Our hotel room wasn’t the best. Toilet wouldn’t flush at times, the carpet could have been redone and it had seen it better days and then our hideaway bed was broken. The pool and game room wasn’t amazing.

Benny was incredibly welcoming at check-in and answered our questions as it was our first time visiting. Our kids loved the cabin option with the bunkbeds. Most impressive were the lifeguards and emergency response team when an adolescent needed immediate medical attention. My husband and I were incredibly impressed with the attentiveness of all the lifeguards all three days and in all areas in the water park; they were very well trained in response and proactive awareness. Our family is excited to return soon!

It was fun but got very expensive. I understand when staying at places like this you expect to spend a good chunk of change but at every little turn you were paying for something. Especially anything kid related…and your kids will want to do everything they have to offer there! I treated myself to a glass of wine at the bar and paid $22 for a 9oz glass and if I wanted to buy the bottle it would have been $52! Spoiler alert…stop at the liquor store before you get there…the same bottle of wine at the liquor store was $12!! Our two nights, 3 days at GWL was more expensive than our 4 nights, 5 day at Wisconsin Dells! The experience was fun but we won’t be going back any time soon.

Great Wolf Lodge was so much fun! The kids had a great time and the staff was very friendly.
Heads up though, the check in process was a torturous wait, with only two staff at the registration desk at 4pm for such a large property with a 4 pm check in. The self check in kiosks did not work for us, since we booked through Expedia. That left us quite stressed with a two year old screaming and wanting nothing more than to go swimming.

Super family friendly and amazing staff which is likely why it was SO BUSY. The pools being close back to back due to it needing to be cleaned was a little annoying but they did offer an extension to their hours because of it. Overall worth the money

Check in is not until 4pm and the water park closes at 8pm not much time to enjoy it. We were only there one night before a 12 hour drive home so we could not use it the next day. $20 parking is insane given the cost to already stay there and there is nowhere else to park that we were of. Getting in to check in was a bit scary as we were waiting on the road to turn in because there was a traffic jam at the entrance. Part of the water park was closed off and no discount offered. Ordered one pizza from the Hungry as a Wolf and it took over 45 minutes and when I asked about it they had forgotten to make it after they had troubles with their pans… I ended up getting refunded but only after I asked. Staff were very friendly about it. Rooms are nice and I like the convenience of using your bracelet for room key and to make purchases.

We had a great time! The reasons I scored amenities lower is the surfing was not working and shockingly there was no hot tub. All and all the place was fun and kids had a wonderful time.
