Our first time visit was very fun and relaxing. The kids enjoyed the water park and the outside pool. Prices for drinks and other activities where a little pricey.

Fun-filled, magical escape with the kids. This is way better than other water park hotels. It’s clean with spacious rooms. It’s not overly crowded. I highly recommend. Will go again for sure.

RICHARD, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great Wolf Lodge was great. The staff were great. The only negative is that there seems to be really poor Lyft and Uber service around Traverse City.
Gregory, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Above all our stay was great. The only thing that I would have to say is, we wanted to stay an extra hour for checkout, and they refuse to let us have an extra hour they normally don’t charge us, which is pretty poor. Also, there was cold in the shower.
Amanda, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Checkin kiosks weren’t working and the line to checkin took forever.
Jessica, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The prices are ridiculous. Spend 2 nights and have to pay to park to spend the night. 20$ each vehicle each night. Will be our last trip to Great Wolf Lodge.
michael, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Our stay was amazing
April, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Check-in is a very long process and very picky about having drivers license and credit card of only person that made reservation (no spouses). Hours of waterpark are too short!!
Lisa, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Wow! The workers are so kind. The hospitality is unmatched.
Larry, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

There was a parking charge of $19.00 US per night which I thought should have been included in the price of the room. On your expedia sight there was no mention of this additional charge to my room. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTED.
