Great Wolf Lodge: Tips for your Stay

June 6, 2019 Comments : 26

My family and I recently had the pleasure of heading to Great Wolf Lodge in Massachusetts for the weekend. We had so much fun playing in the water park, checking out all the activities, eating amazing food and learning all about their new Summer Camp-In experience which can read about HERE.

I also came away from the weekend with 15 tips for your own stay at Great Wolf Lodge!

Tips for your stay

Plan Accordingly

Want to go a certain time of year? Make sure you plan accordingly since many popular times (school vacations, holidays) tend to book up fast. So book your stay early!

Pack Accordingly

Make sure that you pack accordingly, especially for children. Changes of clothes, bathing suits, swim diapers and sandals were staples in my luggage when we went. If you forget your bathing suit don’t worry, the lodge has a bathing suit shop located right by the water park.

Get to water park in the morning

In order to secure your spot. Or you can rent a cabana for the day which guarantees that you will have a nice spot to set up for the day.

Paw Passes are worth it

If you plan on doing other activities at the lodge then Paw Passes are for you. There are different options to chose from but some activities included are Magiquest game, arcade credits and even a cup of candy.

Rooms have fridges

This was especially important for us because we needed whole milk on hand for Avery. You can also put drinks and snacks in it to keep the kids happy!

Don’t forget the ears

My daughter is still obsessed with these ears and wears them all day, every day.

You can use the water park before your room is ready

You can check in early, starting at 1 pm the day of your check in, to your room and go play in the water park before your room is officially ready.

Need caffeine? No problem

Imagine my surprise when I discovered a Dunkin Donuts in the lobby at The Great Wolf Lodge in Massachusetts. Great way to get my caffeine fix in in the morning and prepare for the busy day.

They have towels for the water park

The great thing about this lodge is you don’t have to bring towel, you can get them outside the water park. Just make sure you return them or you will be charged

MagiQuest is a must

Also know that it takes a little while to complete but really fun for the kids to do. To learn more about MagiQuest check it out HERE.

Life jackets are available

Need a life jacket for your little one? There are plenty stocked in the water park.

More activities then water park 

In addition to the water park there is a ropes course, mini-golf, Magiquest, story time, dance parties, rock climbing, and so much more.

Multiple food options

Hungry kids? There are multiple dining options at the lodge. Something for everyone, even the pickiest of eaters.

Room key is in your bracelet

Instead of worrying about carrying a round and keeping track of your room key, they have conveniently placed your room key in your activity bracelet.

 Book the family suite

In addition to being decorated for the current session (the summer camp-in is pictured) they have bunk beds for kids and plenty of room for all family members.

    I have to agree! You need to use the water park first thing in the morning. It helps maximize time and enjoyment because there won’t be a lot of people in there.

    What a wonderful lodge! So often when we stayed someplace the kids would always want to be on the go because there was nothing to do there. Here, they would never want to leave.

    I know when they built one out here near me. I have wanted to go for quite some time. We just haven’t done it yet. I will make it there with my daughter at some point. Great that they provide the life jackets there if necessary.

9 + years since my first was born and almost 3 sin 9 + years since my first was born and almost 3 since my second and I have to say I still have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to parenting. ⁣

The great thing is; these two have no idea that most days I’m just winging it. Now more then ever, it’s important we admit to ourselves this motherhood thing is hard and as long as we keep the small humans happy and fed we are totally winning at this #momlife ⁣

This print means so many different things to me in this season of my life. ⁣
It’s a reminder that I am a strong woman who doesn’t give up easily. Someone who aspires to do more, be more. As a partner, mother, friend. ⁣

It’s also a reminder to be grateful for the opportunities I have and the power of my light I send out into this world. I glance at it everyday, hanging in my office reminding me to be the grateful warrior that I am.⁣

2020 was a year full of many challenges but it held some amazing moments and opportunities as well. ⁣
⁣
We took a fun, much needed vacation at the beginning of the year with @carnival cruise line, got married @samosetresort on a whim, personally I grew my blog and met some pretty large goals I had set for myself this year and the kids stayed happy and healthy. So even with the bad, there was a lot of good.⁣
