![]() My 4-year-old is on the shorter side of kids his age, so he was very limited in what he could do. (Upon closer look, the information is available by clicking on the "View Safety Rules" link for each ride). But, there they were, on the signs for each ride. ![]() I wasn’t expecting limitations, having looked at the website's list of rides and not seeing any height requirements listed on the ride descriptions. Looking a little closer, there are some areas that appear to have a sandy texture in it, but the main walkways are slick, almost as if the original floor was made to be non-slip but it has already been worn down in the 4 months that it has been open.Īs we walked in, we were stopped so my boys could be measured and given wristbands that were color coordinated for their height. Second, without shoes on, the floor can be really slippery. After a couple hours of being in there, I was ready for a quiet place to sit. With it being an indoor facility, the noise of the water and all of the people playing is quite loud. There were two things that I noticed first-off going into the water park. When you arrive, if your room isn't ready, you either have to get a locker for your valuables, or leave them in your car. Lockers are available for a fee of $15 or more depending on what size. With most of the water play indoors, it is nice to not have to worry about sunscreen, hats, shade or hot sidewalks. One nice perk: Parking for one vehicle is included in your stay.Īt first look, the facility looks huge. You get use of the water park for as long as they are open on your check-out day. Checkout time is 11 a.m., so, again, you should have a bag of clothes with you to change into, after you take your suitcases to your car. With that said, have a bag packed with just your swim gear so you can change in the changing rooms when you get there. on your arrival day to use the water park, although your room may not be available until as late as 5 p.m. New guests are allowed to check in as early as 1 p.m. Unfortunately, the main attraction didn’t fare as well, in my opinion, as the rest of our experience. It was about as good as one could expect from quick-service theme park food. For lunch, we split up and got a couple slices of pizza from Hungry as a Wolf, and some chicken fingers and fries from Buckets Incredible Craveables. It also had a much shorter line than Dunkin’ Donuts that morning. Again, prices were comparable to any other theme park buffet and the food was enjoyable. The next morning, we ate at the Loose Moose Family Kitchen, which is a buffet restaurant, for breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised with how good the food was, After a round of mini-golf, we stopped at the Dunkin’ Donuts for some dessert. ![]() Although I was a little worried about it being pricey food, we ended up spending about as much as we would have at a sit-down restaurant at any theme park. ![]() We ate dinner at the Lodge Wood Fire Grill. While we were there, we ate at five of the seven food places. The main floor has a very relaxing forest theme. Although our view to the west was less than spectacular, the boys were excited to see a familiar site in the distance: Mickey’s Fun Wheel at Disney California Adventure and the Paradise Pier Hotel (there is a shuttle that will take you to Disneyland Resort for $5 per person 10 years of age and older, and $2 for 9 and younger, unlimited). The rooms were nice, and pretty spacious as far as standard rooms go. Downstairs, there are two more stores, arcade/mini golf course/4-D movie theater, as well as a quick-service pizza place, ice cream/bakery shop and a Dunkin’ Donuts. The main floor is home to the front desk, a store, two restaurants, and an area used for story time and kids activities, as well as a window with a view of the indoor water park. The theme of a woodland lodge was very well done, with lots of open space in the lobby area. Once inside, I was excited to check everything out. The hotel contains about 600 rooms and is connected to the water park building via the lobby area. A Welcome Siteįrom the outside, the Great Wolf Lodge looks pretty impressive. During our overnight stay, I found myself comparing it to the two Walt Disney World water parks (Disney's Typhoon Lagoon and Disney's Blizzard Beach) and judging the theme, food, atmosphere, and attractions accordingly. So I went into this experience a little biased, unfortunately for Great Wolf Lodge. Located just a few blocks south of Disneyland on Harbor Boulevard, this facility offers one thing that Disneyland currently lacks: A water park.Īs far as I am concerned, Walt Disney World has set the bar for water parks. Our Disney-loving family recently made a trip to the new Great Wolf Lodge in Southern California.
