Yeah we went to great wolf the other week and the one we went to (being the Ohio one) so I don’t if they haven’t renovated that one but the rooms look the same, and the magic wand thing hadn’t been upgraded in a while and was definitely out dated the water park was a good part of it

We started going to indoor water parks last year after we went with our 3 year old son to an outdoor waterpark while vacationing in Puerto Rico. He loved it so much we started looking for waterparks and discovered all the different indoor water parks we didn't know existed in the tri state area. Since then we have been to Kalahari twice, Kartrite once, and Great Wolf Lodge once. We went to Kalahari first since almost everybody says is the best but they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Great Wolf Lodge has the most charm imo and the night activities such as their dance parties really made us fall in love. Also while Kalahari had the most options in terms of dining I think the incredibly high prices negates this advantage. Another big disadvantage for Kalahari in the food department is the long wait times and long lines. Last time we were there I had to wait over 40 mins for a pizza pie twice! The places to eat within the waterpark are atrociously slow and the food is just not worth the wait. On the other hand at Great Wolf Lodge we were always able to get lunch in a matter of minutes. I think most of the restaurants at Kalahari would go out of business in a matter of weeks if they weren't attached to a waterpark. Just really bad service. I also find the Great Wolf's buffet to be the best out of the 3 and having an actual Dunkin within the premises is a big plus as you can get a small bite and a coffee much quicker than at Kalahari. Overall, if you have younger kids Great Wolf Lodge has enough water slides, activities, and charm to satisfy Pre K-3 grade kids and shorter lines and wait times to satisfy the adults. We will be returning to Great Wolf Lodge in April. I would def recommend Kalahari for older elementary school kids and middle schoolers - just bring your own food when you go there!

I live in the Poconos. There are 4 indoor water parks. They are all similar and completely different depending on what your family is looking for. Each is great in their own way. Wave pool is so much more awesome at Great Wolf. And the indoor outdoor spas take over at Khalahari. Khalahari is quite a maze composed to them all especially if you need accessible access as we do for our child. I suggest you try Aquatopia also. They have a fabulous not so lazy river and decent wave pool among all their other features. Enjoy the wave.

I asked if kts really free to swim and he said fun for the whole family not even really acknowledging what I said then you can press going or maybe amd the only 3 people going were the host and two other creepy looking g guys not from the state so fucking weird. I called up kalahari and asked about the reservation thinking its just a vacation home 7 hour pitch but nope there was no reservation under that name or any events at the specific 10am lot. so still have no idea what they were trying to accomplish im assuming human trafficking

I know this video is a little older. Last year and this year Kalahari accommodation pricing seemed to be much higher than GWL. I priced both of them months out and found that Kalahari was about 200 to 300 more expensive per night, not including activities and food. GWL currently offers an all day dining deal allowing you to pay for meals up front.. so there is less worry about hidden costs when you're already there. My kids are 6 and almost 3 are absolutely in love with GWL, but they both like gaming and so Magiquest is a big draw for them.

Ok so I am pretty sure that this is specific to your park lol . I was there a month ago and there was 13 slides in pa and many more activities to do ! I loved it

I’ve been to both (I have better memories with my family at GWL. So I would choose GWL over kalahari) but they are both great and I wouldn’t mind which one I went to. I guess it is personal preference.
@TopFlightFamily4 жыл бұрын
Yeah very true! It definitely depends on the family and what different aspects work for them!
@Maddiway4 жыл бұрын
in my opinion, great wolf lodge is way better than Kalahari. you just have to know how to book it to where it’s only 500 for a suite and not 900. it’s also more family oriented i think. i’ve been going there for so long and when i went to Kalahari, it was just too big and chaotic. i didn’t feel like at home there.

New subscriber! Thank you so much for the comparison, I did not even know of the resorts you compared and was going to go to Camelback for the snow tubing at the end of January, but will now decide on GWL due to my 4 year old, and will do the 10min drive to do the snow tubing. Will live a comparison with Camelback if you get the opportunity. Great content!

@ashleighpretzel58964 жыл бұрын
The GWL in the poconos also has more than 5. Just because they don't scare you to go on doesn't mean it isn't a slide. She wasn't very accurate on the number.

Thank you for this very informative video comparing GWL and Kalahari side-by-side as many parents are also on the fence of whether to bring their kids to GWL or Kalahari. Maybe we’ll try both when each accommodation is on sale 😅

i feel like great wolf is more aimed towards the younger kids and kalahari is aimed for all ages! i loved great wolf as a kid and i would rather go to kalahari now. but you should definitely try out camelback too!

Very detailed and helped me to decide which one is better for and some friends. If everyone could tell their experiences and be straight to the point like you like you that would be awesome. Some people add things like my soda was flat, my plate wasn't new at restaurants. All they have to do is request another one. Thank you soooooooo much Kalahari will be my next trip.

Here's what I would do. I would come to the Poconos in the winter to go skiing at all those nearby mountain resorts. For that reason I would more than likely stay at one of those mountain resorts and wouldn't need to stay at either of those waterpark resorts as they both offer day passes (Great Wolf Lodge didn't offer day passes back then but they do now at all their locations except the one in Niagara Falls as of now). And which waterparks would I go to when taking a break from all the skiing? Kalahari and Great Wolf Lodge. The reason why for Kalahari is because of how big it is and I would go there every time I'am in the Poconos no matter what season it is. My reason for Great Wolf Lodge is because even though there's a bigger indoor waterpark at nearby Camelback Mountain, that one also has a large outdoor waterpark as well where as Great Wolf Lodge is 100% indoors. For that reason I would also visit Great Wolf Lodge in the winter while coming back in the summertime to do both the indoor and outdoor waterparks at Camelback Resort. My only concern is what else am I going to do in the Poconos in the summer time?

Thanks to this review we went to GWL first. It really was nice. The staff was so friendly and the water park area was amazing. We only stayed one night so we couldn’t enjoy the other activities available. We went here for my bday but wanted to save the better one for our sons bday in October. I love your content. Thanks. 😊

It depends on which great Wolf Lodge did you go to because some of the older ones don’t have as many attractions but some of the new ones can have up to 20 slides that are very thrill seeking some of them have huge outdoor pools ON it’s funny how you forgot to mention the great Wolf creation station there’s some that have more than one restaurant and about the rooms they’re supposed to be like a bum like an old fashion lodge kind of feeling so in my opinion I’m great wolf lodge

I really like Kalahari is cooler and why the wave pool was slow is bc they have a lot of issues with it (including fecal) and closes a lot. I was just there and before we left they closed the wave pool. its not the chemicals or the workers its most of the time the guests :(
