Great Wolf Lodge Water Park | Arizona

Outstanding experience! The water park was fun but I had no idea about all the other activities. Bowling, ropes course, magi quest, and mini golf was really fun. The mirror maze was small but cool as well. Food was expensive but not gouging. $14 per meal per person. Overall a great experience. We will be back!

So this resort, or mini Las Vegas for children, is fun. This place is not cheap at all, even with their discounts that they have. (e.g. $15 for self parking on an empty parking lot, 4 different types of additional taxes, and everything is overpriced, etc.). It is fun though. The kids have a blast even if you do say no to all the additional activities (mini golf, arcade, ropes, rock wall, magi quest, mirror maze). The water park is large and crazy but fun. The beds in the rooms are not super comfortable. The kids did love their wolf cave bunk bed situation, so that was cool. Weekends, summer, and holidays this place is 100% packed. Overall it's a family thing. Good to go maybe once a year for 1-2 nights. If money isn't an issue, then you do get to make most of it there and it is definitely much more fun. It's loud, hectic and crazy. But it's about the kids.

We enjoy our stays at Great Wolf Lodge. Most of the staff are really outgoing and nice with the occasional not so friendly personnel. Food and drinks are a bit pricey. It hasn't been too packed during our two trips during Spring Break and Easter weekend. There's plenty for the kids to do at and around the hotel. The family rooms are cute with bunk beds for the kids.

Overall, we had so much fun during our stay! Our 1 year old loved the water, mirror maze, mini golf, and dance parties. The room was really nice and comfortable beds. Minimal noise from other rooms were heard. Some of the negatives were the slides weren’t operating half of the time (which a worker said was per usual, so beware) The food prices are insane. You’ll get better food in the area for half the price. They also were doing a maintenance check during our stay and knocked on the door while my baby was napping. Although they warned us, I didn’t have a way to decline it, which was frustrating since I just didn’t want them to interrupt the 2 hours I needed in the room during the day. The schedule was also frustrating because with little ones who wake up early there isn’t much to do. Also, the story time was at 8pm and since we came from a different time zone she couldn’t stay up for it. Looking at some schedules from other GWL’s it seems they do them earlier. It would be nice if they also did an earlier story time for the younger ones. Wait until check in and do the adventure pass instead of the other passes. It’s a better deal most of the time. I would still probably come again because of how much my little girl loved it, which is why they get away with some of their ridiculousness. 😂

The Great Wolf Lodge is the perfect place for a kid adventure! It is so much fun for the kiddos, and has a LOT to do. The food is great, We ate at multiple places on site, and the food was good. The service was great also. We found all the shop attendants, the guides, the servers of all kinds to be friendly and helpful. The overnight accommodations are more like a Comfort Inn Suite with a cool place for the kids to sleep. I felt the overnight accommodations were overpriced, which is why i didn't give them a 5 star. But the Great Wolf Lodge made up for this in the activities they offer. You don't come here to stay in your room. It is worth it to buy a Wolf Pass, which we did for my grandson, who is 6. We worked toward accomplishing everything in his pass for 2 days, and he still has a couple more things to do. He says this is the best place he has ever been, and it must be kind of like heaven for kids.
