Wonderful Time!
My family just returned from our trip to Great Wolf Lodge, we had a wonderful time! I have an 11 year old, a 9 year old, and 8 year old and a 1 year old and all four of them had a blast. We got the paw pass for the older three - I would recommend them as it gave them plenty to do when not in the water park, and plenty of souveniers. My eight year old would like to move-in to the Great Wolf Lodge. The arcade gave plenty of tickets on the games, and the prizes you redeem them for, where decent . It was a little cold out yet for the outdoor part of the park, but the water was warm so you really couldn't tell while you were in. I loved that most of the park was indoors, so if you did plan a visit far off you wouldn't have to worry about getting rained out.
Our only real complaint, was of the security, one of the doors that opens to the outside (you need to use your room key on it) opened without the key, and there was no one really checking to see who was comming and going through the doors of the water park, they didn't check your wrist band. Anyone could have walked in and picked out a child that wasn't being supervised.
As far as the service, it was excellent, everone was very friendly and helpful. We didn't eat at any of the restaurants, except for some fries and a hot pretzel at the snack bar in the water park - they were good.
We would definately visit this park again, if my kids would've been given a choice, they would have never left.
