We stayed at the GWL 14 months ago and found it to be an average hotel with an above average water/theme park. This time I am down grading it to an average water park with less than average rooms and overpriced. Not only that , but the Pizza Hut has closed down and the Restaurant/Buffet was not open on the...

I have been a Great Wolf hold-out because of the price. $270+ for a Friday or Saturday based on four people is too high for me since there are only two of us, I've long wished they offered a discount for 2 but I digress.... I got an email for 30% off, saw the price on a Sunday at $169... More

This place is a lot of fun for the family but couldn't imagine staying for more than 2 nights. The water park isn't big enough to entertain you more than a day or so. The room prices are over priced but thought merchandise and food was affordable. And hey adult beverages at the water park! We went during the week... More

I think what helps this resort to stand out is that it's plopped right down in a seemingly remote area along interstate 5 in Washington State. The scenic beauty of the area adds so much to the attraction of this place. Whether driving south from Tacoma/Seattle or north from Portland, you're going to be treated with fantastic views of the...

Went on a weekday with the family. It's place was so much fun. Surprisingly lots of people for a Wednesday. We had the standard room for 5 of us and it was very spacious. We didn't eat here because we were told by a friend that we could bring our own food and it actually worked out. Food in the... More

It was a bit small in a way and not in other ways. Which doesn't help at all does it. lol Ok so it is basically missing a few things that I think would make it much more appealing - it doesn't have a lazy river. Which really, even some hotels have lazy rivers now, so that was a bit... More

I took my 9 year old son, we are both gluten and dairy free and they had lots of options for us in the dinning hall. It was more expensive then the regular menu, but quite comparable eating out anywhere else. He loved his time there and wants to go back. I would upgrade to the cabin room again. You... More

We visited Great Wolf Lodge with our son and daughter-in-law, grandson, 5 years old, and granddaughter who was 7 months. We shared one of the rooms that had a separate king bed in a room with a door. Some things we thought could be improved were - a mirror in the room with the king bed. More seating in the... More

Our family of 5 stayed in a kids cabin suite, which was great. We enjoyed the waterpark for about 3 hours the first day. But on the second day, kids wanted to instead play the MagiQuest game, which they played over 7 hours total without finishing the final battle with the silver dragon. I was impressed that a game could... More

Expect to be surrounded by pint-sized miscreants from the time you enter to the time you leave the facility. Great Wolf Lodge is truly a vacation destination designed from the ground up by a 10 year old. The epicenter of the lodge contains a large arcade the entrance to the water park, multiple gift shops, an ice cream parlor, a... More
