Once again, we are very happy with GWL. As I said in a previous review, my personal opinion is it is GREAT for younger kids. That doesn't mean older kids won't have fun. It's just not as big as some of the larger parks. I gave it a 5 star because this is the 2nd time here in 3 months... More

We took our family of 8 to this hotel/waterpark with the help of great discount pricing on Groupon. Before we left I called the hotel and spoke with the chef about our needs for our child that has Celiac's disease, the chef was more than accomodating for us and made sure she would have everything she needed and that the...

I had reviewed this GWL about two years ago but just came back from a two - night get-away and feel the urge to sing their praises again. We travel a lot so my expectations are pretty high, but GWL does it right each time. The staff treat the customers as if they are important. It kind of reminds me... More

My kids love the water so as an end of the summer weekend getaway right before school started we decided to try Great Wolf Lodge Sandusky Ohio. We have 3 children with a pretty big age gap our oldest is 14 our youngest is 2 so we figured Great Wolf Lodge would cover the gap. It was everything we expected... More

I have taken my twin daughters twice to Great Wolf at age 2 1/2 and again at age 3. They love it there. The waterpark is small and I think geared towards younger kids. There is enough for them to do, they love going down the small slides. The rooms are very nice and good size. We always stay in... More

Our little one is turning 12 in May and we decided to take a trip to a waterpark as his gift. He loves swimming and has enjoyed waterparks in the past. Great Wolf Lodge is not a huge waterpark, but there is plenty to do and kept our guy occupied for hours. When not in pools, he had a great... More

We went to this Waterpark over Kalahari, and at first I was unsure because of my kids ages. I was thinking maybe they would be too old because most of the reviews seemed that this park catered to small children but I found that to be not true. Don't get me wrong, they have great play areas for small kids,... More

My husband, 15month old, and i stayed here for a weekend trip to celebrate my birthday. We stayed in a whirlpool suite and it couldnt have been more perfect! The waterpark is on the smaller side, but more than okay for our small child...it's definitely a good place to take young children (teens would be bored). The onsite eateries are... More
