Great Wolf Lodge Minneapolis / Bloomington

Rodney Spencer

Our family of three loved our stay. Two nights felt like a five-day trip—perfect for an adventurous preschooler. The bunk bed rooms? Absolutely worth it. I wasn’t sure what to expect, and I was blown away.

Our daughter summed it up best: “Just like the commercial.” That’s about the highest praise I can give in this review.

The staff and service were top-notch. The lifeguards are clearly well-trained—I read that their program is award-winning, and it shows. We never saw a single emergency, and everything felt safe and well-managed.

The in-hotel restaurant was an unexpected gem. Excellent wings, a solid steak, and an amazing tomato bisque. Rodrigo, our server, was fantastic. But the MVP of our trip? Junior. He welcomed us at the door when we arrived, and every morning, we’d see him brightening up the Dunkin’ Express in the lobby. Felt like every time we walked through the first floor, he was handling a different job—with a smile.

The team running the kids’ performances and activities was also top-tier. Great Wolf Lodge has officially rocketed to the top of our family vacation list, within driving distance of southeastern Minnesota. And here’s the thing—every single person I mentioned it to who had been here before? Immediate smile, effusive praise.

They’re making magic for families in there. Worth every penny.

Such a fun place to vacation! We really enjoy the water park and it’s amenities. The lazy river is great, and the wave pool is the kids’ favorite. I like the slides. It’s quite spendy but worth it for all the fun. The kids are as little old for the shows in the lobby. They offer bowling, rope courses and rock wall climbing. They have some wand game as well. I enjoyed
the ease of ordering food online for all of our meals. They have plenty of tables and chairs to put our towels and things. I’m glad I took advantage of the dining deal of $120 to be $150. It was perfect for 3 meals for our family. The staff really take great care of the customers.

Awesome fun time! Brought my son and two friends of his there for his birthday. They had a great time we stayed overnight everything was awesome! I enjoyed just watching them do the numerous different activities they have available! I only have a couple complaints and if I could give half stars id give 4.5…check in I believe was 11 but our room wasn’t ready until 330. If you’re not familiar with the location it’s easy to see but can be difficult to get to. Some sort of adult stuff would be fun. I E. a hot tub with a bar would be fun. $12 for a jack and coke also… Come on! Overall a great time was had by all but a couple tweaks and it’s be AMAZING! I plan on attending again in the future and look forward to seeing any improvements they make!

First time and loved it! Kiddos had fun with everything. App is pretty handy. Room was decent. Asked for extra blankets via texting and received them quickly. Love the amount of things there are to do! Kids meals were reasonably priced and had good options! Wish the arcade wasn’t as expensive but kids still had fun. Will come back again!

It was fun. It’s nice how they have a few varieties of things to do for all ages. Kiddie pools to adult activities, also other activities you can do if you don’t feel like swimming anymore. The pricing is ok, kind of expensive in my opinion. It’s better to book a room than buying a day pass, if you have a big family like me (7). One downfall about this place is that, they rarely have a suite available for a family of 7 or more. Other than that, the rooms are nice and decent. Parking is big but not many parking spots available since it’s always so busy there.
