I am thinking of bringing my four granddaughters ages 14,11,11, and 8 - is the waterpark enough to keep them busy? How much is the teen arcade? Other suggestions from tween aged kids? Thank you.
Hi Pam! What a crowd you will have! We have taken children those exact same ages to the waterpark, and there is more than enough there to keep them busy. Northern Lights Arcade's prices are comparable to other arcades. You will need to purchase tokens in the arcade, and the games range anywhere from 1-4 tokens each. Other suggestions for them would be MagiQuest, which is an interactive adventure game within the Lodge. The MagiQuest store is on the 3rd level of the Lodge above the Grand Lobby, and they'll be more than happy to answer any questions you may have. gr8_space would be another option, but it is geared more towards the teenage crowd, and the minimum age requirement is 10 years-old. The girls can always head outside and play a round of Howl-In-One mini-golf! I hope you all have a great time, and thanks for your question!
Does staying overnight give you access to all activities or are there extra charges? e.g. kids spa, game room, etc.
Staying overnight allows you access to the Concord waterpark for two days. There are a few activities (Story Time, Great Clock Tower show, and Cub Club) that are included in your stay as well. There are fees for Scooops Kids Spa, gr8_space, MagiQuest, and the Northern Lights Arcade. A Paw Pass can be purchased which will save you some money over buying everything individually.
If you stay at Great Wolf Lodge, do you have free unlimited access to MagiQuest? If not , how much does it cost after purchase of the wand?
Great question, Lisa! My girls (ages 10 and 8) LOVE MagiQuest! They will wake up early and opt to play the game first thing in the morning when it's not so busy (there can be lots of questers playing during the evenings!). Anyway, the wands are $14.99 and up and the game play costs $9.99 (I believe you get 4 days of game play for the fee). It's also cool to watch the MagiQuest channel on your room television and see your screen name pop up with your score! My girls got a big kick out of that!
Activities for Kids and Family Entertainment
At Great Wolf Lodge Charlotte-Concord, we have fun family activities that keep kids and parents entertained beyond the water park too. These activities create a sense of adventure and most of all - togetherness.
MagiQuest®
With a magic wand in-hand, you’ll explore an enchanted kingdom and join in the ultimate adventure as you enchant objects, befriend a pixie, learn from an ancient wizard, battle a goblin and outwit a dragon. We guarantee this live-action adventure game is unlike any other you’ve ever played. You’re sure to become legendary when the getaway you planned becomes epic.
Scooops® Kid Spa
With whimsical wall murals, ice cream cone stools, and oversized banana split pedicure thrones, Scooops Kid Spa – our special spa designed for kids - proves that life can have a cherry on top, without being over-the-top.
Northern Lights™ Arcade
If kids designed your family room, it would probably look something like this. Our sprawling, family-friendly arcade is packed with over one hundred games designed to bring out the inner child in everyone.
Cub Club®
At Great Wolf Lodge we have a rule: Everything must be fun. Since that goes for learning too, we created this haven especially for your Wolf Pups. We’ve packed our Cub Club with activities and crafts designed to enlighten and entertain your younger ones. They’ll have so much fun, they won’t even notice they’re learning.
Compass Quest™
For the Master Magi in your pack, Compass Quest unlocks a whole new layer of MagiQuest. A hi-tech compass leads players on an interactive way finding journey, unveiling nine new quests in this next-generation game of magic, mystery and discovery.
Howl in One™ Mini Golf
Let’s face facts: No family vacation is complete without a round of mini-golf. Be sure to make a tee time at Howl in One Mini Golf, our 18-hole, interactive, outdoor mini-golf course. It’s an exciting course with sand traps and tricky shots, but easy enough to entertain putters of all ages.
Ten Paw Alley™
The majority of our guests stand below four feet tall, which is why our new family bowling alley has a kid-friendly twist: We cut the length of the lanes in half. So after a day of merrily zipping down the biggest waterslides, they’ll be happily rolling five-pound balls down kid-sized lanes. And actually hitting pins.
Howly Wood® XD Theater
Fasten your seatbelts for a turning, moving, twisting adventure. The brand new Howly Wood XD Theater is a great way to stay dry and still make a splash into thrilling adventures.
Daily Activities
Join us at Great Wolf Lodge for great daily activities like Wolf Walk, The Great Clock Tower Show, and Story Time.
