Some locations have a ropes course and a rock wall that you can only do if you have regular shoes, so don’t forget to pack those! You’ll spend a lot of time in the halls and back and forth from the pools so bring along a pair of sandals or flip flops for the entire family. Most Great Wolf Lodges have outdoor pools, so if the weather is going to be nice and the location does have an outdoor pool, pack the sunscreen. Remember, they’ll likely be wet from getting done with the pool, so no jammies that are too clingy. When you check in your hostess will tell you everything going on during your visit, but every Great Wolf Lodge has a storytime at 8pm.Īnd, your little one will be extra proud when they have the cutest pjs. If you have younger kids (I’d say 9 and younger) storytime is a must. After all - you want to be at the pools while everyone else (who didn’t bring stuff for a quick lunch!) is waiting for their food to arrive at the restaurant, right? Right. Since the pools open at 9, it’s likely that you’ll have breakfast and then a quick lunch and get back to the slides. But, I do recommend packing some peanut butter/jelly or deli meat and buns or something similar. This of course depends on how long you’re staying. Some locations keep the water park open until 9 even! ** Pro tip: Have older kids? Skip storytime and let them ride the rides with bare lines until the waterpark closes at 8pm. You’ll want these for quick fixes between meals and the popcorn is fun to pop and bring down to story time in the lobby at 8pm. Think popcorn, crackers, and more dry, easy-to-eat-on-the-go foods. And, they cost a whopping $2, rather than $11-$15 per person for the (albeit awesome) breakfast buffet. Pop Tarts for breakfast are a rarity around here, so that’s a super fun surprise and it’s easy. I know that the sugary, convenient breakfasts are not the best for our kids (or us!) but when we got to a Great Wolf Lodge my kids always know that they can count on me to bring my junk food game.

So, let’s not let you make that same mistake, shall we? Find out how I find my Great Wolf Lodge deals! So, Kate: What do I need to pack for Great Wolf Lodge?
