Is this a good resort for a 1 1/2 yr old? We are looking to stay just for the weekend. Will it be hard to keep track of him? Are there toddler pools or smaller activiies for him to enjoy?

Great question.  This is a great resort for young children.  There are many different areas for a little one to have some fun.  Fort Mackenzie offers room for them to climb and explore. Gushin Geyser offers a very shallow pool and slide, with water "eruptions" every few minutes.  Totem Tower has slides just for the little ones, so you won't have to worry about the "big kids" getting in the way.  Right next to the wave pool is a great kids area with hoses, a small slide, and even stationary jet-skis that the kids can "ride".  If you visiting in the summer, you can add Thunder Bay to the list of great activities.  All this is just what is available in the water-park!!  In the hotel, you have Cub Club, the Clock Tower Show, the Wolf Walk and much much more.  I think you will run out of time before activities while you are at the GWL.  I hope you enjoy your stay.

We're wondering if there is enough for our toddler (18 months old) to do. We're a little worried that it might be more geared toward big kids? Also, are the areas separated enough so that she won't get plowed down by them?

Great question.  We wondered the same thing.  Upon arrival we found there was a lot for the little ones to do. Right next to Fort Mackenzie is a small pool for younger children with a slide.  There is ample area for adults to sit and play with the little ones in a separate play area.  Just a short walk from there is another play area our kids loved.  Gushin' Geyser is a children-only play area with bridges, small slides, and a zero-depth entry.  They even have stationary jet skis that kids can ride and shoot water at you while you play together.  Outside there is Raccoon Lagoon, another area to explore when the weather is nice. In all these areas you don't have to worry about bigger kids running them over or getting in the way.  These areas are designated just for the little one. And these are just the water areas.  Don't forget about some of the other activities that the Lodge has to offer such as Cub Club and Story Time. I think your little one will be shivering and ready for a nap long before you run out of things to do at the Great Wolf Lodge.
