Your Great Wolf Lodge adventure begins in our massive, 84-degree indoor water park. Splash the day away in over 39,000 square feet of water-packed excitement, including jaw-dropping slides for thrill seekers or zero-depth entry areas for little ones. Outside the water park, the fun continues. Grab a wand and battle a dragon in MagiQuest or get an ice cream-themed manicure in Scooops Kid Spa before gathering your family in our Grand Lobby for nightly fireside Story Time, the perfect ending to a Great Wolf day.

 

On top of all of this Great Wolf Lodge also offers some great holiday themed experiences as well that you and your family will love. Some of the ones that are coming up this fall include the two below:

This exciting new addition to the waterpark will soon be the “must do” attraction for families.

Newly added to several resorts last year,Ten Paw Alley bowling is coming to Traverse City, complete with balls that are perfect for little hands. The six lane alley, with a “no rental shoes allowed” policy will soon debut at the resort.  And because life deserves more than one “scooop” – the resort is expanding Scooops Kid Spa, where young girls can enjoy even more ice cream-themed manicure and pedicure services in the sweet place that is all their own.

Time To Save Some Money at Great Wolf Lodge!

April 17, 2013 by dadofdivas 3 Comments

 

GreatWolf

 

As some of you know I was selected to be a representative for the Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City, Michigan this year and I am very excited about it as it is a wonderful place to take the family and my whole family has loved the experience in the past, and I know we will in the future as well. I just found out recently that Groupon is having a great deal right now, where you can save some money on a trip to your local Great Wolf Lodge. For this Groupon, there are designated prices ranging from $219 to $499 depending upon the size of your group and the days you’d like to stay at the resort. Get your Groupon here! This is only available from 04/16 Through 05/23 so you have to book soon.

There are so many things your kids will enjoy both in and out of the waterpark. I highly encourage you to try out Great Wolf for the first time or come back for a return visit!
