This was a spot on review and super helpful, we definitely had a better time at Great Wolf because of the advice here. I would add that parking is a challenge and if the weather is even slightly inclement .... dropping off the fam at the loading zone and hiking to catch are easily eliminated by staying parked and diving into the cooler we brought or ordering delivery ....still cheaper than the buffet. Appologies on earlier post My bad ....a comment dropped here intended for a student loan video in my watch later playlist....talk about a nonsequiter.

We just got back from the one in Massachusetts's. It was fantastic. We stayed for one night and think that was the perfect amount of time. We arrived on Friday at 1:30 and to are surprise the room was ready when we showed up! Saturday we left around 4PM. Combined we spent 9 hours in the water! We can't wait to go back!

He is correct about groupon. On the website great wolf had an eclipse sale. I ended up getting a 2 bedroom grizzly suite for 329. Those suite normally run about 1000.

Check with your respective GWL on the time you can use the water park. At Colorado Springs you can go as soon as it opens on your day of check in!

I've gone to great wolf lodge for 2 years for my birthday on January 5th we live in Arizona and we go to the Scottsdale one the whole vist cost about 3,000 dollars and I'm planning to give there next year! I enjoyed it and i really want to go there next and this helped so much! I will definitely will be using Groupon soon!

Dang! We just booked one of the kid themed rooms directly through the website for $149/night.

That's not a bad price! Sometimes you can snag better deals directly from GWL than what you'd find on Groupon.

When i went to wolf lodge at least 2-3 times i just went straight to magiquest after checking into my room with friends and family. 😂 i’ve beat magiquest and shadow quest games. Now all i need is compass quest and i’ll be done.

Can you use Groupon in another area? Like Disney.. Legoland ect

@DavidSteininger

Жыл бұрын

You can search deals on Groupon by location/region. I'm not sure they would have Disney discounts. It's usually smaller business you'll find on there using Groupon to boost awareness.

i have to pinch pennies i can't rebook if we go it is for training

Did you had to pay for wrist bands? Each person or that was included when you paid online? Also when you check in I heard it was $100 fee, besides when you already pay online for your reservation

@DavidSteininger

7 ай бұрын

The wristbands were included when we purchased our stay through Groupon and there were no additional fees when we checked in (although I believe you can opt to have funds added to your wristband for food and shopping in the resort). But definitely double check the terms of sale where and when you book!

You are right I once placed my wolf lodge reservation thru groupon and they didnt let me use the pool facilities unless I pay 100 fee for each wristband :(

@@amzrkwczthis is exactly the info I was looking for because I have played with the actual GWL website and the cost of the room automatically covers the first 4 people, but it goes up about $100 per person after the first 4. Groupon does not address this. If Groupon does not include park passes, I would actually pay more after adding on the park passes. I’m always leery when the information is not clearly given about an important detail!!!

May I ask what room type you chose? I see yours has a fireplace.

Does the amount paid on groupon include the resort fees and parking fees?

Yes! At least it did when I purchased the deal. Definitely worth checking the fine print. (And there are no parking fees... At least not at the Pocono location).

Ours in grand mound washington definitely charges for parking. If we didn't get a killer homeschool deal, we wouldn't even consider the outrageous price for this place. Definitely not worth full price plus the ridiculous prices for every single thing inside. I'd rather go on a cruise.

Do you by chance remember how much the lockers were and if the dunkin donuts takes giftcards

@DavidSteininger

Жыл бұрын

Lockers are priced differently based on size. I think they start at $12 or $15 for the day. I'm not sure about Dunkin. I remember seeing a sign that said they don't accept the rewards program, so I don't know if that means they won't accept gift cards either. A lot of the in-resort purchases are tied to your room/account and you can pay with your wristband.

How many nights did you stay?

From what I understand, the place is cash less. Was told everything goes on the card you used to check in, info is on the wristbands...

That's correct. The wristbands are also used as your room key.
