KID’S FAVORITES AT THE GREAT WOLF LODGE

• Hannah, Lizzy and Mia all loved the Howlin’ Tornado slide the best
• Everyone had a good time at the Scooops spa and they loved smelling like vanilla or chocolate afterwards (plus the ice cream!)
• MagicQuest was a hit with Mia and she is ready to go back and try ShadowQuest
• Mia and Lizzy also enjoyed Oliver’s Mining Experience
• Everyone thought it was pretty neat to eat in the life-sized gingerbread house
• Lizzy and Mia had fun playing Glow Golf
• The Wolf Paw waffles and the breakfast buffet was a big hit!
• Everyone can’t wait to go back and think it is a good option for kids ages 5-15

TIP OF THE WEEK

Food can add up at the Great Wolf Lodge but all rooms are equipped with a fridge and microwave and many families will bring a cooler and eat a meal or two in the room. Even if you just heat up leftovers, it is still a savings!

Note: We were hosted by the Great Wolf Lodge so we could experience Snowland and all the Great Wolf Lodge has to offer families. As you can hear, our opinions are completely our own.
