If you have kids, stop reading this review, open up another window and book a stay here. I am not a water park person but this place is awesome. Everything is crazy clean, even the arcade and water park which can be notorious filth magnets. I was so impressed with the number of lifeguards at the park- it seemed like they were everywhere and they were incredibly focused. I am a bit overprotective when it comes to my kids and water but I was able to relax and even read a book! I was a bit worried that my 10 and 7 year olds would get bored after a while but we opened and closed the water park down each day. The rides are fun and the lines move very quickly. It is pricey here because basically you are paying for comfort and ease of everything at your fingertips. There are tons of restuarants around Great Wolf but who wants to stop having fun and leave? So, just accept that you are going to pay for the convenience of being able to eat semi-decent amusement park food in your bathing suit. There were some healthier choices at the restaurants but it wasn't gourmet fare by any means. If you get tired of the water park there is an arcade, ten pen bowling, mini-golf, a Magic Quest game and even performances and story time in the great hall. This place is very focused on kids (seriously, it is kid heaven) but adults will still have a good time, even if that means you actually get to sit at a table by yourself and read for a few hours.
