![]() Let me not forget the “Bear Paw Sweets and Eats”, an Ice Cream shop with hand dipped cones and the kids favorite, DIPPIN DOTS! The candy shop includes a wall with every kind of Jelly Belly jellybean you can imagine. Other places to eat include “Hungry As A Wolf” where you can order all the great munchies like chicken wings, salad, subs and some of the best pizza we’ve tasted in a waterpark! Speaking of the waterpark, when hunger attacks “Buckets Incredible Craveables” is located right inside so you don’t have to dry off in order to “fill up” and if a buffet is too heavy for you, no worries because Dunkin Donuts (or is it just Dunkin now?) is located right down in the lobby! Not your typical buffet filled with mediocre food, we enjoyed it so much, we went back the second day for more! ![]() We tried the breakfast buffet and the kids stuffed their faces while Scoop ate enough bacon to wipe out a farm. On-site you have several dining options including “Gitchigoomie Grill” a full service restaurant that also offers a morning buffet and family styled servings for dinner. Then the “weird” thing happened as the kids wanted to spend just as much time out of the waterpark as they did in! GWL was different however as MJ and Scoop spent most of their time playing game after game of water Basketball with kids they met, Vegas obsessed over the Fort Mackenzie playhouse, screaming and laughing each time the huge water bucket tipped, while Munchie and Chipmunk seemed to get on every slide just as quickly as they got off and Sydney mused over the water geysers and mini slide in the kids play area. Several poolside basketball hoops AND MORE! ![]() Although I can't say I blame them in this case due to the cool assortment of activities that almost beg for your attention.Ī lazy river, several waterslides for all ages, a kids play area for the little tykes, Fort Mackenzie water playhouse with tons of water toys, water guns, and climbing obstacles you can navigate while attempting to reach the top deck which is topped off by a MASSIVE water bucket that soaks everyone on and around the structure. In most cases when we visit these resorts, the waterpark is the main attraction for the kiddos and it's easier to pull teeth than it is to pull them out to take a break. The perfect bedtime story, the kids watched it continuously, especially the "Lil's". There is also a Great Wolf channel that would show a cartoon story about the origins of GWL. Upon check-in or after housekeeping cleaned the room, the TV's would be set to a "Fireplace Channel" that would show a burning, crackling fire and added a relaxing touch as I would turn this on before going to sleep and it was totally relaxing. Oh and each room comes with a balcony or patio so you can relax and enjoy the tranquil, post waterpark madness!Ī couple additional touches that I enjoyed about the room: We LOVED the room as it provided everyone their own space (which seldom happens), and the bedding was so comfortable, I inquired with the front desk to see if I could purchase some to take home. Upstairs features another Queen bed, TV and a half bath. I will say this is the way to go, even if your family isn’t as expansive as ours! Downstairs it includes 2 Queen beds and a full size pullout sofa, a fireplace, 2 TV’s, a “Kitchen Nook” with a coffee maker, granite countertop, a microwave and refrigerator, plus a full bathroom. GWL has several different room styles sure to fit a family of any size! Due to our abnormally large family (Insert Evil Genius laugh), we stayed in a Loft Fireplace Suite.
