Looking for a family-friendly vacation this holiday? Head to the in-hotel water park, the Great Wolf Lodge, to relish all-weather family fun!
The Great Wolf Lodge hotels are indoor water parks featuring more than a dozen slides, a lazy river, a wave pool, a node to real beaches for a surf simulator and a four-story Treehouse crowned with 1,000 gallon tipping bucket.
Further, there are kid-friendly activities like arts, crafts, and video games. In other words, the place is more like a family mecca encompassing many exciting activities.
If you are heading to this amazing place this holiday, read-on for these tips to make your vacation memorable:
Discounts are needed!
Although the place is quite reasonable, if you think that the accommodation price for your family is a bit high, check discounts. You can look for the Great Wolf Lodge hotel rooms groupon to get a discount on hotel rooms and other things. There are other sales and bundle offers (usually available during the off-season) to save big bucks. Also, if you book early, your family will get discounts up to 50% or more!
Further, their Howling Heroes program offers huge discounts to all fire, emergency and military services, police personnel and correctional officers. All you need is to use the promo code while doing reservations and get your ID checked at the check-in counter.
Be Particular In Your Reservations:
While many people often look for the Niagara Fall view when booking the room or suite, some prefer their room near their parking space. A room with the waterpark view will not cost you more, but you need to specify it at the time of booking. Also, the lodge rooms are very big and can easily accommodate families of up to eight people, so book only one room. You can also check the types of rooms as per your family needs.
Early & Late Access:
While the guest rooms check-in’s are at 4 p.m., you can be in the waterpark at 1 p.m., that too on the day you arrive. Also, you can stay in the waterpark until the park closes on your checkout day. In simpler words, you can enjoy the water park for two days by paying the cost of the 1-night stay.
Don’t Dig Still-Packed Suitcases:
Make sure to pack cover-ups that are easy to pull on and off, as you might end up wasting so much time in going back and forth from the park to the room just to change. Also, don’t bring:
- Extra towels, as there are plenty of dry, free and readily available towels at the lodge.
- Floating/safety devices, as there are many available in the lodge
- Fancy clothes! Unless you want to have the fine-dining experience, you will not need any fancy clothes or accessories. While the most lax dining places in the lodge have a no-swimwear rule, you can dine in shorts and T-shirts.
- Glasses or sunscreen! If you are spending a lot of time in the outdoor pool, you will need sunscreen or glasses, otherwise, you can skip those.
- The hat! Since its an indoor lodge, you will not need to bring your hat.
Don’t Forget These Things:
The lodge is full of many on-site amenities, however, there are still some things that will make your stay more comfortable:
- Bathing suits or coverups: If you don’t want to go back and forth from the water park to room, a cover-up is a must.
- Athletic shoes: If the location you visit has a ropes course, athletic shoes are what you’ll need to climb.
- Waterproof phone cases: phones are very handy for capturing memories, and to prevent them from splashes, a protective cover is what you’ll want to remember.
Try Other Activities:
While the only reason to be at Great Wolf Lodge is the water-park, de-prune it for some time and participate in other activities as well. There are many free activities like arts and crafts, a nighttime story with costumed characters and more.
