Our daughter loved it! There is also a singing moose head (singing our favorite, Sinatra) near the guest services desk. Several times a day, the animated clock tower comes to life and tells a beautiful story about nature, teaching kids to respect and care for nature. There are also many other services available at Great Wolf Lodge - a fitness center, Elements Aveda salon (smelled great!), a kids salon called Scooops, the Cub Club (daily crafts, activities, and bedtime storytelling), and more. As it was spring (and cold out), the Outdoor WaterPark was closed.

The lifeguards were very attentive and always moving. There were three cavernous adjoining rooms, each with their own special waterpark features! Overall, there are 17 waterslides, six pools, 2 hot tubs (one for adults only, and one for families), Fort Mackenzie - a four-story interactive treehouse waterfort (with a 1,000 gallon tipping water bucket!), the Howlin' Tornado (a six-story extreme tube ride with 65-foot funnel drops 30 feet every second, a basketball hoops pool with a really cool floating beaver that our daughter LOVED climbing on, all sorts of kids rides (slides, rope course, lazy river), a wavepool with a lovely and scenic boathouse theme, many play areas for very small children, and more. Inside the waterpark, it was a very comfortable 84 degrees.

Many of the small children we saw had availed themselves of this free service.įort Mackenzie's four-story play treehouse with tipping bucket Once inside, there was a very large set of wooden racks with lifejackets on them, if any guest needed them. WHAT a surprise! After exiting the elevators, there was an arcade (ubiquitous at waterparks) and the waterpark entrance.

Our 6-year old daughter was anxious to get into the waterpark and start playing, so we quickly changed and headed there. I was impressed with the ecological management of such a large resort, and even more so once I learned of these Green Seal and Project Green Wolf measures! We've shared their Project Green Wolf here. Project Green Wolf includes management of fresh water resources, waste minimization, recycling, and reuse, energy efficiency, environmentally and socially sensitive purchasing, guest education, and more. Great Wolf Lodge also has their own, even more sweeping, environmental program called “Project Green Wolf.” Both the hotel and waterpark portions of the business are part of Project Green Wolf, and the program also includes an inventive educational program for the resorts’ youngest guests created in partnership with National Geographic Kids™. Green Seal created a rigorous, science-based environmental standard for the industry, which includes nearly three dozen environmentally responsible criteria for lodging properties. Green Seal is a 20-year-old, independent, non-profit organization dedicated to creating a more sustainable world. I was not surprised, therefore, to find out that Great Wolf Lodge resorts are the first and only national hotel chain to earn the distintion of Green Seal Certification. From the waste and recycling containers all around, I could see that they are committed to being green. Great Wolf Lodge is environmentally aware, as well.

Many waterparks sell day passes or wristbands to their parks, while the only people in the waterpark at Great Wolf Lodge are guests. One thing (among many) that makes Great Wolf Lodge different from other waterparks is that their waterpark is exclusively for guests of Great Wolf Lodge. The Great Wolf Lodge has over 100,000 square feet of waterpark, including a large indoor waterpark (three cavernous rooms!) and an outdoor waterpark.

Rustic lodge decor welcomes you in, with an extraordinary three-story rock fireplace, an animated clock tower, welcoming staff, and more. The Lodge is a four-story log-sided resort. Where to begin? From the moment you walk into the Great Wolf Lodge foyer, you embark on an experience like no other. WHAT FUN! Our family loved our visit there, and plan to head back as soon as we can. The Wisconsin Dells is known as the WaterPark Capital of the World, and we were delighted to explore. Recently we had the great fortune to stay at the Great Wolf Lodge (a publicly traded company and the nation's largest family of waterparks) in the Wisconsin Dells.
