Great Wolf Lodge is a kid friendly hotel and water park located near the Mall of America, in the location formerly occupied by the Water Park of America. The facility boasts amazing slides and pristine pools. They also offer kid friendly activities and dining options. Passes are included in the price of all suites.
Check-in time is at 4:00 pm, but guests with reservations are invited to check in at 1:00 pm to start enjoying the park early. However, be aware that the line is extremely long at 1:00. Extremely. Also, it’s super busy at 4:00. My suggestion for check in is to wait until 2:30 or 3:00 or wait a little later and come after dinner. If you do choose to come at 1:00, just know you will be waiting a long time in line. And on the day you check out, you will be checked out of your room by 11:00 am, but you are welcome to stay until the water park and adventure park close. When you check in, your kids are handed wolf ears to enjoy during your stay. You will see wolf eats all around the lodge–on staff, on guests, pretty much everywhere you turn, you will be surrounded by wolves. Also, when you check in, everyone in your family will receive a wristband which is your pass to Wiley’s Waterpark and your room key. Also, for the safety of all guests, if someone in your family gets separated/lost, they can scan your wristband and get all the contact information to reunite you. Throughout the day, guest enjoy many free family activities including the Northwoods Friends Show–an interactive story time–as well as Morning Yoga, Crafts, Games, and other fun events.
