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!

6/10 Good

The room was over $400 for my husband and I that checked in at 11pm. We asked for a 30 minute late checkout and was informed that would be an additional $59 which we declined. And on top of that they charge $15 to park. The room smelled musty. The room was very minimal as far as the bathroom vanity area. For the vost it should be top notch. WAY OVERPRICED!!
