Our family's stay at the Great Wolf Lodge was mostly a blast, thanks to the exciting activities and spacious indoor facilities. The water park was a definite highlight, along with their engaging variety of games and themed rooms. However, we did face an unfortunate incident with staff at the water park that left my grandson a bit shaken. While the price for the resort is on the higher side, considering everything included, it does feel like good value overall.

My family's trip to Great Wolf Lodge was a mix of excitement and challenges. The water park was a hit with the kids, filled with thrilling slides and activities, but the chaos and lengthy wait times dampened our enjoyment a bit. The accommodations were decent but didn't match up to the price we paid, and the dining experiences were overhyped. Overall, it's a good spot for families looking for a fun experience, just be prepared for some drawbacks.
