We require guest checking in to be at least 21 years of age. Photo ID is required upon check-in along with credit card for incidental charges.

Story Time

When and where is story time? Join us at the GREAT Clock Tower in the lobby for story time every night just following the “Rhythm of Nature” Clock Tower show. Our younger guests often like to wear their pajamas and slippers. Check the Lodge Life activity guide (you'll get this at check in) or ask a Pack Member for details.

Safety

How many lifeguards do you have? You’ll see the 100’s of lifeguards we employ as part of our Risk Management Program and you may observe some of the regular drills and tests performed during operations. What you may not see, is the extensive training and certification these guards receive through aquatic risk management authority Ellis & Associates. Ellis & Associates also performs multiple unannounced operational audits each year testing our professionalism, scanning techniques, rescue skills and emergency response.

Cleanliness

How clean are the rooms and waterpark? Our resort hotels consistently rank in the top 5% of resort hotels in cleanliness – as measured by you, our guests! Our housekeeping staff works tirelessly to ensure each room is cleaned to the highest standards and to keep our common areas spotless. Our waterpark utilizes state-of-the art water purification equipment to ensure our water is as clean as possible for our guests. To minimize the noxious effects of chemicals like chlorine, Great Wolf has developed industry-leading technology to balance effectiveness and guest comfort. We use ultra-violet purification technology to ensure that viruses and bacteria that could escape chlorination are effectively eliminated. Lastly, our cleanliness standards require that we enforce our rules regarding swim diapers: all diaper dependant guests must wear waterproof swim diapers while in our waterpark area. Our retail stores have swim diapers available for a nominal fee.

Supervision

Who watches my kids in the Waterpark? All children under the age of 18 should be accompanied by a supervising adult at all times in the Waterpark.
