Share. Learn. Ask.
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.

Will there be enough for my 7 year old to do at the outdoor waterpark? Or is this hotel geared more for younger kids? What is there for a 7 year old to do for 3 days?
We have a 6 and a half year old and we have to drag her back to the car even after a long stay. There are so many things to do. The nice thing in summer is the kids can go from the outdoor waterpark back to the indoor and just keep going back and forth. Also, when mom and dad need a break from the sun and water, you can take your kids to the new MagiQuest area. I think you will find that the Great Wolf Lodge has enough to keep children of any age excited and entertained.
Explore Children Activities at Great Wolf Lodge
Your children will love all that we have to offer at the Wisconsin Dells, WI lodge, from the kiddie slides to interactive games. With so much to do, they will have stories upon stories to share from their adventures at Great Wolf Lodge.
Fort Mackenzie™
We've turned splashing into an adventure at Fort Mackenzie, our 4-story interactive tree house in the center of our 84 degree indoor water park. Adventure through suspension bridges, swinging cargo nets, treetop slides and soaking spray stations. If that doesn't get you drenched, just wait for our 1,000-gallon bucket to tip from the treetops.
Slap Tail Pond™
With waves up to 3 feet tall, you'll think you're in the ocean. Grab an inner tube or let the surf take you to "shore". Waves come in 5-minute intervals. The gigantic wave pool also features zero-depth entry and goes up to 5 feet deep.
Lookout Mountain™
Slide 200 feet down "Lookout Mountain" and into the lazy river.
Mountain Edge Raceway™
Challenge your family to some friendly competition on our indoor competitive mat racer waterslides. Launch headfirst down the 4-story slide and prepare for some sharp turns before finishing along the straightaway.
Whirly Bird Run™
Spin down our 443-foot Whirly Bird waterslide. Go solo, or on a 2-person tube for double the fun!
Coyote Cannon™
You can't be afraid of the dark if you want to ride the Coyote Cannon. Twist, turn and loop back and forth along the 436-foot enclosed slide. Once you exit the darkness, the Coyote spits you into the splash pool. Pair up with the kids, or send them solo.
Chinook Cove™ Activity Pool
Get into the hoopla with a little water basketball with the kids. Let them test their balance along a floating activity or just goof around (safely, of course!) in this activity pool.
Frog Bog Log Walk™
This agility challenge keeps kids busy for hours, as they practice their balance and cheer on their friends. Little kids learn to jump from lily pad to lily pad, while the older ones use the netting above to guide themselves across. One false step and ... splash.
Mineshaft
No tube, raft or mat required. Just lie down, cross your arms over your chest, and propel yourself down the 100-foot slide.
Hawk's Beak™
The littlest thrill-seekers can try all four of our kiddie water areas, including Hawk's Beak, Racoon Lagoon, and Gushin' Geyser. All three sections of our indoor waterpark have special features for the "48 inches and under" set.
Totem Towers™
These twin three-story slides offer the fastest (not to mention, funfilled) escape route out of the Fort Mackenzie tree house.
North and South Hot Springs™
Find an oasis of relaxation in our jumbo whirlpools. Find one for adults 21 and older and another for the whole family.
Crooked Creek™
Buddy up or go solo. Just let the current sweep you along the endless, winding lazy river.
Thunder Bay™
Thunder Bay Outdoor Pool area has a 122,000 gallon outdoor pool, which ranges from zero-depth entry to four feet. Thunder Bay includes two outdoor waterslides (Thunder Run and Lightning Falls), water basketball, kiddie activities, water effects including floor geysers and spray features, as well as heated water.
