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!

I know that check in is not until 4pm and we can't use the waterpark until 1pm, but can we do the other things like the minigolf and arcade, etc. before then?

Yes you are welcome to play in the "dry" areas of the hotel prior to 1 pm. This gives you an opportunity to find your way around, check stuff out and get into the GWL frame of mind! Have fun
