We had a fun time at the GWL. These places are great for the kids. This location is smaller than the others we have stayed at but met our expectations for our trip. As per usual the GWL is pricey but the fun the kids have make the high price point worth it. We went to an MLS game up the street and we were so happy we could walk there and not have to deal with parking and traffic.

The sheets on the kids bunk beds would NOT stay on, they were basically sleeping on the mattress. We had 7 people in our room and a table with chairs for 2 people. The refrigerator froze our food, there was no way to adjust the temperature as the dial was missing. Limited dining options on-site. The water park was great, no issues there, lines moved pretty quickly. I would definitely drive the 9 hours the next time to go to Wisconsin’s Great Wolf Lodge instead of staying local.
