Great Wolf Lodge Water Park

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.

Definitely designed for families. We were staying here due to a flight cancellation. Arrived late and left early but the bed was good, shower was great, and the breakfast smelled amazing but didn’t get a chance to partake. Huge water park inside that we didn’t get a chance to use but very close to the airport.

This was a fun local getaway. The staff was awesome, helpful, & friendly. Everything was always clean and there wasn’t as many “rules” as some water parks. While the food was a bit pricey, there were big portions and fast service.

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!
