Great Wolf Lodge Water Park | Minnesota
I recently stayed at Great Wolf Lodge for 1 night as a fun treat for my daughter. The price we received for a Sunday night was a great price which included the hotel room and waterpark. The room itself was standard—nothing fancy and nothing that stood out as amazing. My daughter did like the bunk beds. Although, I will say the bedding provided for the bunk beds was small and barely covered her, and the bedding on the queen bed was basically just a sheet. We had to put on the extra blanket meant for the sofa bed in order to actually be comfortable.
The waterpark was decent. Not too many attractions, but enough for a 6 year old. It was definitely showing signs of aging. There were portions of some slides that looked like they were repaired with duct tape. Not a great look. Also, it would have been great to have the water park open earlier than 10:00, especially with an 11:00 check out time, so that there was more time to play in the park and still be able to access the room for getting ready afterward.
The other attractions is where this resort must make all their money. We only partook in the MagiQuest and Arcade as everything was outrageously expensive. For my daughter to get a wand and game time MagicQuest, it cost $68. The wand was a piece of plastic with lights that stopped working after about 15 minutes. The game was never really explained to us, except you have to go around and light up objects. Half of the objects wouldn’t even work. So, for nearly $70, we now have a useless piece of plastic. Definitely insane. The arcade was tremendously overpriced as well. We purchased 80 credits for about $25, not realizing that games averaged 10-12 credits a piece. That comes out to more than $3 per game. Again, absolutely insane!
