It's a really fun resort! Glad you got to visit!

You're going to have a blast!!

I would say that they all are a little different. They all have a lot of similarities and some staple attractions, but some of the slides and features as well as setup are all a little different.

No problem! Thanks for watching!

Is that just for general parking or the VIP parking?

@@LifeOnVideo general, outdoor parking. I’m about to go in a few days, so maybe I will get more details about VIP. However, this was in my information when I booked.

This is from their FAQs page: Starting October 1, 2023, the lodge will be requiring a parking fee of $15 per night, to park a car on property in the parking lot(s) to any vehicle parking more than 30 minutes. Each vehicle parked in the Great Wolf parking lot will be required to pay a parking fee.

@@nonnieofsix7107 that's interesting. I wonder if this is a cash grab, green initiative, or if they are trying to limit capacity for the parking lot? $15 still isn't the worst though, I know in Cali around anaheim it is $40 per day at the majority of the hotels. Thanks for the info!

@@LifeOnVideoyeah, I’m not mad about it, but I did like the free parking in years past.

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you liked it!

You guys are going to have a blast!!!

Are they affordable?

It just depends on the day you go! You can find rooms in the range of $99 up to $350 for basic rooms. It definitely takes a bit of price watching to get the good prices!

I really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

You're gonna have a blast honestly! This place is huge and full of thrills! Happy early birthday and thanks for watching!

@@LifeOnVideo aww tyy <33 im honestly really excited to exploreee

@@ave.is.what13 You'll have to swing back and tell us how it goes!?

@@LifeOnVideo ofcc thank goodness like 1 hr left on the driveee!

@@LifeOnVideo we’re almost there and i now just realized ive never seen a topgolf colab w great wolf lodge 😭

Dang!!! You're somewhat of a professional GWL goer then! I hope you have a great trip! Thanks for watching!

Of course! Thanks for watching!

That's awesome!!! The one in Pennsylvania is definitely on our list to visit! It looks amazing from all the pics and videos I've seen! You'll have to let us know what you think when you visit! Thanks for watching!

​@@LifeOnVideoI was trying to look up this place for a friend who had to cancel their vacation this week because they were going to visit her grandfather and he's sick and doesn't want to get the grandson sick . I suggested Great Wolf Lodge which is a lot closer and she said that was something she had thought of yet when I go to their website it doesn't give you any clue at all no rough idea no listings you have to call or contact them . I just wanted to give her a rough idea of what it could be for them to be there maybe for a day or 2 ... but can't even get a clue ... they're closed right now so I can't even call

@@gardensofthegods What a great suggestion! This has been a fun spot for my family to visit anytime we are looking for adventure and memories! The indoor water park offers so much to keep everyone busy with numerous waterslides and a massive wave pool. The resort itself gives lots of options for fun, from dance parties, interactive games, to really good dining options! Hopefully they take you up on your recommendation and have a blast! Thanks for watching!

I would say, if you live local or you're able to get there early for check-in and stay late on checkout, 1 day is enough! This is mainly because you get access to the resort/water park early on check-in and all day on checkout! If not, 2 days is my golden time! It gives you enough time to get in and settle down to enjoy everything and not be go go go all the time! Thanks for watching!

Awesome!!!! I know my kids are begging to go back soon! I hope you have a blast! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I would say the dining plan is subjective to each person. We never opt into it because it is really easy to keep breakfast food in the room and we typically do Uber eats for dinner to save some money. Though we typically always do lunch and snacks in the water park. if you want to eat every meal in the park, you're going to get a savings with the dining plan, but not a ton. Breakfast is usually $25-$30, quick service is about $13-$20 and dinner can range from about $15-$45+ per person. Hope this helps you out some! These are not verified prices, just rough estimates of what I can remember.

Noted and thank you for your help!​@LifeOnVideo

@@bengonzaleziii1511 of course, anytime! Hope you have a blast!

If it is your first time visiting this Great Wolf Lodge you are going to have a blast! Let loose, have fun, and take tons of photos for memories! I hope you guys have a great trip and thanks for watching!

That's awesome! It's nice that they give back. Thanks for watching!

This was during the October time frame 2023. I was impressed how low the crowds were too, but I think it was due to going during the week and not the weekend. Thanks for watching!

@@LifeOnVideo gotcha. Figured that. Love your video. Thanks so much.

It has been a very long time since I've seen this show at the Park Place Mall parking lot where I shot this video. My kids are jealous because they were out of town when it was here last lol! Do you know of any other "carnival" like this that travel through town? Thanks for watching!

@@LifeOnVideo I went to one thinking in was city of fun but it was northwest attractions I think?

No way! Did someone really do that? I don't think I'd be able to last hahaha!

@@LifeOnVideo lol unfortunately we did long story on why but yes it was wild we have gold wristbands for life and everything bc we spent so much money

@@lastcastipromise5762 That is absolutely impressive!! Hopefully your bank account recovered and you have used your gold wristbands to the fullest lol!

@@LifeOnVideo it did recover for the most part lol but they where pretty good to us can’t complain and we’re using them now lol I wish you the best on your guys account I subscribe form one of my older accounts bearbottomvlogs

@@lastcastipromise5762 Awesome! Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching!

They do not unfortunately... I had to just go for a run around the building! Lol

Such a bummer, they have a nice little one in Mass, thank you , great video!!!

@@jeanniepoirier5380 there was a nice small one at the Arizona one and they ended up closing it during 2020 and never re opened it... Bummer! Thanks for watching!

First fossils are definitely important! Thanks for watching!

This is definitely a fun event for sure! Thanks for watching!

Thanks! It really is fun just to take the backseat and let the kids do all the planning for once lol!

Yeah, you will think they are real until you watch the video about how they create them lol! Fooled me for sure! Thanks for watching!

We had an absolute blast here! What about you? Thanks for watching!

Thanks! This place is always a blast! Thanks for subscribing and thanks for watching!

Glad to hear! Hope you have a blast! Thanks for watching!

Wow, that's a crazy experience! Well, maybe one day they will get back to the suits you know and love to make it a better experience for you. Thanks for watching!

@@LifeOnVideo No problem!

@LifeOnVideo I'm not the only one who's sad that they're gone, but many other guests who have visited GWL between 2013 and 2019 miss them too. They're also arguing and complaining about how unattractive and scary the 2019-present character mascot designs look and how their children don't want to get close to them. I really think that a fundraiser would be the most helpful to make the next character theme far more decent and kid-friendly when it comes time to replace the current suits.

I’m actually quite fond of the 2019-onward designs - that might just be because I adore the promotional cartoon they produced with those designs (and also because I’m a 21 y/o man with severe autism, that might influence my opinion) and because I never went to GWL as a kid, but that’s just my opinion and I respect yours, even if we disagree.

Not a problem, thanks for watching! Have you been to this exhibit?

@@LifeOnVideo I've been to vegas before several times but haven't spent time at the Luxor...we're coming to Vegas in October and planning to stay at the luxor...I want to see the titanic exhibit and the king tut exhibit

@@LifeOnVideo my girlfriend and my daughter have never been to vegas

@Hi-lb8cq I really wanted to come back and do the Titanic exhibit, but unfortunately I got sick on this trip and couldn't make it back. Hope it's a good experience for you!

@@LifeOnVideo thank you for the kind words and I'll keep u updated on how it went...hope your feeling better

Not an issue! You'll have a blast! Swing by after and let me know how it goes! Thanks for watching.

Yeah, I think they both have their charms! I like the largeness of the lobby and the massive underground activity area in Grapevine, but then I love the streamlined modern feel of Scottsdale! Either way, I'd give almost anything to be there now since it is over 100°F outside in AZ today again lol! Thanks for watching!

I have heard so much since posting this video that I can't wait to go back and explore a bit more! If I can find food and drinks nearby on Main St. then it sounds like a perfect day spot anytime I'm nearby! Thanks for the helpful info!

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the support!

Are you going to this exact one or a different one? I'm jealous! We are trying our best to get back to GWL this summer!

I’m gonna be in a different one, but this one looks cool!

@@Brainrot11 That's awesome! I've yet to go to a bad GWL, so I think it's safe to say you're gonna have a great time!

@Chocosoup1 I am going to great Wolf Lodge in two weeks to

I used a DJI Osmo Pocket 2! I have filmed almost all my videos with the Osmo Pocket 1 & 2 minus a few of the first ones. It's super portable and non intrusive with a great picture/audio.

@@LifeOnVideo awesome thanks. I just bought a GoPro to do similar videos myself and was curious.

@@danedefense2046 I have often thought about an action camera, but I've never purchased one! You'll have to let me know what you think about it!

@@LifeOnVideo man reason I picked it is because we go on a lot of trips to beaches

That makes a lot of sense! We go to a lot of water parks, but don't film a lot in the water. Maybe we could up our gear with an action camera and film in the water? Lol
