The water park was fun. Great for all ages. Water slides, a pool with basketball hoops, wave pool for the the older kids. Two nice size kiddy sections with smaller slides and other fun things. Life guards were watchful. Room was very clean. Bring food and drinks as they were overpriced. Great experience overall.

Family of four, girls are 9 and 14. We go to different great wolf lodges. This one wasnt bad, two attractions were closed temporarily due to kids puking. Be present with your kids, go on the water slides, tube the lazy river, get smoked by big waves in the wave pool. Sad seeing all the parents on their phone then we are dealing with the kids behavior with no parent around. No hot tub here unfortunately. Best GWL hot tub is in Traverse City, MI. HUGE adult hot tub and even a decent size family one. Smaller park in TC overall but dig the tubs after freezing in the park.
