Great Wolf Lodge Water Park | Northern California

So much fun! We stayed for 2 nights. The indoor water park has a very very overpowering smell of humid chlorine. Takes a few minutes to get used to. But for me, I began coughing and my eyes were burning. I understand that chemicals are needed because there are just so so many people! Most of the workers were amazing and friendly super friendly. Our rooms were pretty clean but the couch and carpet both had food stains. Since it’s a kid friendly place, the stains aren’t surprising, just a little bothersome. Our view was a parking lot and a freeway. Which was a little disappointing because when we booked our rooms, I read that the rooms had balcony’s and views. The restaurant inside, was very nice and the food was delicious! I, personally have celiac disease. Eating out is very hard for me, but I was very pleasantly surprised that they had GF gluten free options. And my bowl with shrimp was fantastic! Either something was contaminated with gluten or I got food poisoning. MAN THAT WAS A HARD NIGHT 😭 Luckily I was feeling ok the next day. Dunkin’ Donuts on site. Although it’s not the “real” Dunkin’ Donuts. The kids still enjoyed it. Husband said the donuts tasted really bad. My most favorite thing was the two tier climbing obstacle course. So fun! Indoor mini bowling was fun but glitchy. Computer system was down when we wanted to do mining. One of my sons got a wand from the magi quest store. It’s cool because it lights up and there are interactive things all around to point at. But it was disappointing when they would mostly all repeat the same things over and over. So to me, it didn’t feel special or exciting. I liked the lazy River. My kids loved the wave pool. Overall a very successful trip for our family of 6.

Chef Quann, Chef Laura Hagger (sp?), and worker Jasmine were INCREDIBLY HELPFUL! Amazing customer service! Our family of 5 (3 kids 4, 6, 8) had a fantastic stay! I am GLUTEN-FREE, and for breakfast, Chef Quann or Chef Laura came out and talked with me. Then went back in the kitchen, cleaned the equipment, and made my eggs. I was provided packaged utensils too. They even heated my GF bagel on the grill in the back, so it was safe for me to eat. My eggs were delicious (2nd day, tomatoes and spinach were added)! The bagel was good too! I didn't have a reaction to anything!! Jasmine remembered me from the day before and made sure I was taken care of. She was happy, friendly, and went out of her way to help. I am so grateful! We can't wait to come stay again! My kids LOVED MagiQuest, the water park, build-a-bear, french fries, and their bunk bed space. The PAW Pass was great! Thanks for an awesome adventure!
