Our high school band came to Kansas City for a competition, so we decided to stay here. It is perfect for groups of kids like this. There is so much to do to keep kids of all ages occupied. It can be expensive though. The Magiquest is fun for them, but it costs $17 for the wand alone, and then... More

We had a wonderful time at the indoor water park on a very cold & snowy day in KC. This was a great place to spend my son's 5th birthday. Our children range in age from 11 to 2. There was something for all age groups to do. The employees were very friendly and attentive. My kids are already asking... More

My kids love going to GWL usually we visit the Traverse City Michigan Location. This time we booked 4 rooms for extended family at the KC location. Will not be dropping that kinda of money at GWL again. Lets see check in was standing in line for 1:30 while extremely loud music blasted. It might have been appropriate for teens... More

Schedule ahead. I'm serious, or you'll be disappointed. This place fills up quickly and close to travel dates the pricing goes up not down. The check in was very confusing to say the least. We required additional passes to the waterpark. The girl at check in kept saying this changed our rate and that the passes are different. And was... More

So, I always review tripadvisor reviews before taking trips. I find that the reviews are most of the time 100% correct. I'd say that the reviews that I read were about 65% correct. I found the reviews to be a little harsh. To that I would say that if I were paying full price--ie $350+ per night--I would have been... More

We have stayed here 2 times over the past 6 years. Each time we have had a great time. We feel safe letting our 11 year old run and have fun without us being at his side. They have life guards everywhere. The rooms are very nice. The pool area is always kept clean and so is the rest of... More

Had a reservation at GWL Kansas City for Spring break 2013. Due to bad winter storm was unable to make our first day, BUT called ahead to see what my options were. Ended up staying for one day only due to no rooms available for a second day. Now I am trying to get a refund for the money I... More

We took a last minute family trip to great wolf lodge to enjoy indoor water park. The room was standard, but clean. There are cute animal mascots that do an evening storytime, along with a fun song from the big clock in the lobby. There are other things for the kids (arcade, craft room, magic quest interactive game, kids' spa)... More

On the positive side, our room was clean and the beds were wonderfully comfortable, staff were generally very nice, and the water park is fun. Now, on to the negatives. The first thing you'll notice is a sign noting GWL's No Firearms Policy on the wall by the front door. Really? Who takes a gun to a water park? Didn't... More
