Fun-filled, magical escape with the kids. This is way better than other water park hotels. It’s clean with spacious rooms. It’s not overly crowded. I highly recommend. Will go again for sure.

Great Wolf Lodge was great. The staff were great. The only negative is that there seems to be really poor Lyft and Uber service around Traverse City.

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.

Jonathan Glenn, 1-night trip

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!
