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!!

We haven’t left yet, but thought we’d share how things are going. The check-in was smooth. We were able to check in early (for a fee). There is also a parking fee. There are plenty of carts to assist with luggage and coolers and such. There’s plenty of activities available (Magiquest, Build a Bear,waterpark, characters, bowling) and lots of on-site food and beverage options (sit down, ice cream, pizza), a gift store. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The property is slightly starting to show its age, but it’s well maintained. We added a few additional packages and ate, drank, and were merry. We had a ball with our almost 4 year old granddaughter.

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!

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.
