When we saw the Great Wolf Lodge Groupon come up again for our area we decided to go for it. It seemed like our kids were at a prime age to give this a try and they definitely were!
The kids had an amazing time. Cole was devastated to leave. He told us on our way home that he didn't want to leave, in fact, he wanted to LIVE at Great Wolf Lodge. Crazy kid!
We only stated one night and for us that was perfect - we didn't feel like we needed any more time (although I guess Cole would have disagreed - ha). We arrived as early as was allowable on check in day and were fortunate to get a room early. The kids were over the moon when they saw their room and loved their kid cabin. We wasted no time getting into the pool and spent a couple of hours at the water park. It was great fun! There was something for everyone. Cole was a little short for the big water slides so for our first day they stuck to a couple smaller slides and the big wave pool. Eliza and I hung in the toddler area - she loved it!
We headed back to our room for supper and ordered pizza. Then we headed down to the wand store and the kiddos each picked out a wand. We debated if we should purchase the game but figured for this time, they were young enough to just enjoy using their wands around the hotel. They loved it. It was fun wandering around the hotel making magic.
We hit the evening story time at the clock tower. It was a perfect ending to the day and our kids were exhausted by the end of the night and happily cuddled up in their cabin beds!
The great thing about the lodge is after check out the next morning you are still welcome to stay at the hotel and enjoy the water park for as long as you would like. We decided to hit the water park at opening when it was quiet. The day before Cole was less than an inch too short for the big slides so this time around when we had him measured we left his crocs on! Low and behold he made the cut off and all the boys were able to hit the big slides! They spent most of the time on the big slides and went back for more after lunch!
We had a great time there and are so glad we went! I am sure we will be back. The kids have already stowed their wands away in a safe place so they will be ready again for next time!
They loved their kid cabin!
Hours of fun!

Cole thought the best was opening the treasure chest!
Magic!

Ready to hit the pool again!
She loved this chair. She had to sit in it every time we went past
They did the slides over and over again
One last visit on our way out
