Everything You Need To Know Before You Go to GREAT WOLF LODGE

[@rebeccawood1993]

Thanks for the review. We have been to the Minnesota GWL. May take my NC grandchildren to the Williamsburg GWL.

[@kilgore_trout_37]

This is a great review! Thanks for including what things are worth it/not so worth it to you, and disclosing that you didn’t receive anything from the lodge, this is exactly what I was looking for.

[@DadDeals]

Glad it was helpful!

[@donotrobme9295]

I love this vid. I’ve seen a couple wolf lodges and I don’t follow anyone who does these. Just tool guys. I’m glad u have expanded. The other commenter said don’t do these. I’d say do any deals u come across. For those not interested, they can skip.

[@DadDeals]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

We stayed at the one in Concord NC..the tips that l learn was stay away from the food packages. The food was not that great. Pack your own snacks, quick microwave meals, drinks, or bring a small crock pot to make hot dogs. It's also cheaper to purchase the games separately. I purchased the ultimate package for 300 dollars that included 100 meal crt. Magiquest, unlimited drinks, laser tag, and bowling. We did not get to do the bowling because it stayed crowded. We did not use all the food credit because the food tasted so bad. Fries and chicken finger's were cold. The buffet food was cold and looked like it had been sitting for awhile. Please don't make the 300 dollar mistake

[@DadDeals]

yea, we’ve never bought the packages and never felt like we missed out. good tips!

[@BOSSera246]

Sounds like a bad experience. We've had great success with the packages. 🤷‍♂️

[@ArieSadler]

Thank you so much. I’m going on my seventh grade trip and just wanted more information.

[@a-b0t633]

I love water parks, arcades, and wolves. I think I could enjoy it without kids.

[@sonjagarcia9180]

Just took my 26 and 27 year old sons my 13 year old niece and m y 8 year old grandson to the Colorado Springs and i think my big kids had just as much if not more fun as my littles.I have already booked again for spring break 2025.It was an amazing time.My only complaints were the restraunt times.Some only open for dinner time.Some open for all meals but closed too early.The 1 huge issue I did have was pricing on my suite.I used a discount buy 1 night get next night free.I called the day before arrival to ask why it was showing I still had a balance to pay at check in.I was told i owe nothing else but it would ve adjusted with the code/discount at check in.When i arrived i had to pay another 300 $i azked why i was paying this amount as i had alrwady paid when i booled and i used the discount 1 night free.I continues to get basically the run around with noone explaining why i was being charged again.I did not let it ruin our trip but im currently trying to sort this out as to why obviously the discount was not applied to my stay.❤

I'm sad to see that they have completely removed the Great Clocktower Show. That was a staple of my trips to the Williamsburg location dating back to my first visit in 2010. I went to the new Maryland one last week and it did not have the same charm that the one in Virginia does

[@daveboone7432]

Extremely helpful video, thank you.

[@razorgash6953]

Building the one in Webster TX currently. Very informative!

[@eFiggidy]

Great video! Thanks for the info, we'll be going in Sept to the one in Northern California

[@Ellas-0620]

I’m going for my first time at this exact same location so this is absolutely great help

[@DadDeals]

hope you have a great time!

[@kathyvanderveer6302]

Have been thinking about going for a while this video review helped a lot thanks so much

[@DadDeals]

Glad I could help!

[@kayleequinn1620]

Love this video. Just what I was searching for!

[@DadDeals]

Glad it was helpful!

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

My family and I love to go to Great Wolf Lodge! One opened only about 30 minutes from our house and I've been able to get some really good deals on booking. As low as $48 for a Grizly Bear Suit that included wristbands for 6! Best Bday sleepover a kid could have. You can stack multiple deals. I have become addicted to finding the good deals now. If anyone has any question about the Perryville, MD Lodge feel free to reach out to me as I have appointed myself a non official expert on the place!

[@lunavjackson8470]

Any good codes/deals for Dec?

[@rnguyen2516]

Amazing, concise video! Thank you so much! I will go to your channel from now on. I’d love to know if there are showers in the pool areas for those who checked out already and still want to enjoy the water park. And if there is shampoo/conditioner/soap there. Thank you so much!

[@DadDeals]

not sure about the soap, but yes there are showers

[@rnguyen2516]

@ thank you so much! It’s easy enough for me to set aside the shower essentials for the last day!

[@evavelazquez2058]

So helpful thanks ..one question is the water cold in the water park

[@DadDeals]

Not at all

[@Kellie-cp7sl]

I went to the one in Dallas texas and we got the kid cabin on the 5 floor and magi quest was only on floor 1 though 4

[@DadDeals]

nice! that’s ideal

[@brieaa7053]

Great video! Thanks! Very informative

[@DadDeals]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ruthsmile5114]

I have been there too at great Wolf Lodge

[@Blades-i4m]

I’m going there for my birthday this Monday!!!

[@Sanrolover864]

Am going next wensday! (Am going to the one in Pennsylvania )

[@haley9671]

Wow so even buying all the passes and bonuses you still need to buy to play the arcade?

[@donotrobme9295]

If looking for more Niche stuff… keep doing hft etc. But many steer away from Ace hardware and tractor supply as the deals aren’t as good as Home Depot and Lowe’s. Many of us followers live rurally or small town and all we have is ace and standard/true value and tractor supply. The guys who rarely cover it seem to just say here are there deals but sorry for the vid as it’s cheaper at big box stores. We already know that but it’s where we shop, I’d strongly suggest to any tool KZbinr to hit these stores regularly and put a disclaimer in at the beginning so u dont get all the negative comments. We live small town, we know it’s more expensive. We also shop at our local small grocery and pay too much so if someone sent us the local grocery deals it would t help someone with Walmart or Costco but its all we got

[@DadDeals]

The problem with Ace is often times the sales aren’t the same everywhere since they’re locally owned. I may try to add it to the rotation though. Thanks for the feedback.!

[@patriciaoconnor3342]

So helpful. Thank u

[@DadDeals]

you’re welcome!

[@superstar-ol9yt]

Im here right now 😅

[@purplefreax]

My husband just booked it today. For our son's 2nd birthday. Is our first time at great wolf lodge. Pretty expensive 👀. We went to grand bear resort & wasn't that great but our son had a blast in the water & that's all that matters. My son loves getting in the water. &its perfect timing my sons bday is in January winter time. Here in Chicago the winter is brutal. Will be nice to stay away from the cold for a bit we will he going the one at gurnee il. At grand bear resort that's what we did we pack our own food. The resort are very expensive. But our son's enjoyment &how happy he is is worth every penny

[@Stupidsamhjfuhrngeh]

I’m here at the great wolf lodge right now lol

[@taracastille5625]

So if check in is at 4pm I can get there when they first open at 10am and enjoy the water park until I can check into my room and enjoy all the next day even after check out until closing if I wanted to?

[@DadDeals]

yes!

[@thecurrypizzacompany4918]

Thank you

[@BrendaFender-x8k]

We really enjoyed our stay the best place to take the children

[@heysellavelar9620]

Yeah

[@haley9671]

If I don't buy the passes can we still choose to go and pay for build a bear and activities?

[@DadDeals]

yes, you can buy them separately

[@haley9671]

@DadDeals thank you!!! I'm saving to go this year!

[@sheldonwiens1314]

Great Wolf Lodge was the best between 2010 and 2018 because of the mascots. They were extremely cute, lovable, kid-friendly, and top quality. People would be totally attached to them because of their extreme cuteness. I've been super disappointed with the redesigns since the summer of 2019, which are very poor quality and not as cute and kid-friendly as the ones between 2010 and 2018. Unfortunately, Great Wolf Lodge will never be a family fun resort anymore unless the 2010-2018 Great Wolf Kids character mascots return. But I doubt that will ever happen. They always have a brand new mascot theme every 8-13 years or until the current costumes finally fall apart after getting tired of being worn for a very long time.

[@desireey4waterman500]

I want to great with large until my birthday

[@NormaGilich]

[@bibiyeya5388]

Stick to tools my friend…

[@DadDeals]

Tool videos will still be coming, just expanding out a bit.

[@ExodusC]

@@DadDeals I liked this video, watched the whole thing. Had never heard of this place, but it sounds like a fun time for the kids. I'm okay with non-tool content.

[@BStride]

It was fun when we went a little busy but the slides where fun

[@JBallsMcLongcock]

5:32 if i need to sit down, and your towel is on a chair, and your body is in the water, im moving your towel and sitting down. The chairs are for sitting, not for you to "reserve"

[@squid_fish]

This place. 🫠
