![]() ![]() Frankly, I enjoyed not having to deal with sunscreen and didn't mind that the park is mostly indoors. There's also an outdoor pool and although we've been there in summer months, we never made it to the outdoor pool - it just felt too cold compared to the indoor pool. He is less adventurous but the wave pool and hot tub held his interest on our latest visit. He is still shy of the big slides but will ride them. ![]() My older son loved the wave pool on our last visit. You have to wrap your feet around them to hold them. Younger kids, as long as they can sit up and hold on, can ride in front of a double tube down Alberta Falls - one of the large slides. My younger son loves the small slides and all the water features in the tree house. There's also a lazy river (a bit too lazy and short for my taste), hot tubs (my favorite! - there's a family one and an adults only hot tub), several larger slides (some of these slides require at least 2 people), three pools - a wave pool, a regular pool with basketball nets, and a pool with a course you try to walk across without falling in, a 'treehouse' with various water toys attached, and a huge bucket that dumps a LOT of water out about every 10 minutes (WARNING: It has the force to pull down the top of a woman's swimsuit - don't ask me how I know and I apologize to the family with small children that was standing right there). There are life jackets for the kids, handed out on a first come, first serve basis. They're fun but perfectly suited for little ones. The waterpark itself is quite nice - there's something for all ages. Younger children enjoyed the small pool which has three different types of slides (five slides in all). ![]() (You can sort of see the waterpark through the window on the left in this picture:) In June 2012, after a divorce, I took my two sons, ages 8 1/2 and almost 4 again for 2 nights, our first vacation without dad. Later, after my second son was born, we went for two nights. We live only 2 hours away from Great Wolf Lodge, an easy drive (I-81 to I-80 to 611). I chose this for my son's first vacation at 3 1/2 years old because it looked like fun and it was convenient. The parks are only available to overnight guests at the lodge (although paying guest can purchase extra wristbands for friends and family who aren't staying overnight for $40/day - one wrist band per paying guest and I think you can only get them for one day during your stay.) Great Wolf Lodge in the Poconos is part of a chain of hotels with indoor water parks. At this price point it really isn't worth combining this activity with too many other Pocono activities. 2 nights is our preferred length since the extras add up the longer you stay. There are additional costs for extras.Įxpected Length of Visit: It's up to you. We've done 3 nights and 2 nights. Season: All year round but with an outdoor pool area only open in warmer weatherĬost: Varies based on room choice. Website: Great Wolf Lodge (always check website for latest information) ![]()
