We had an incredible family getaway with so many activities for the kids, especially in the water park where they had a blast. The themed rooms were perfect for our little ones and created a fun atmosphere. The only downside was the noise from our neighbors, which disrupted our sleep. Overall, it was a memorable experience we plan to repeat soon.

We had an incredible time at Great Wolf Lodge! The kids loved the water park and all the activities. The food options were varied, with some tasty choices, although the character breakfast could have been better. The staff was mostly helpful, but we had a disappointing encounter. Overall, it's a great spot for families looking to have fun together.

We had a fun family trip at this hotel, especially the kids with all the activities available. While the water park was an absolute hit, we were less impressed with the dining options and check-in experience. The themed rooms were great for the kids but could use some comfort improvements. Overall, it was a good value for our family adventure, but there are definitely areas that could use some enhancement.

We had a blast at Great Wolf Lodge! The kids loved the water park, and it kept them entertained for hours. While the rooms were themed and fun, I did notice that cleanliness could use some improvement. Dining could also be better, particularly the food quality in the water park. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a family getaway, but just be prepared for some minor letdowns.

Our family had a fun stay at the hotel overall, particularly enjoying the awesome water park and the engaging activities that kept everyone entertained. The themed rooms offered a unique touch that our kids adored, especially the Wolf Den overall appeal. However, we faced a few hiccups with our room cleanliness and tech issues that detracted from our enjoyment and left us a bit disappointed given the price we paid.
