I have a 8-year-old, 6-year-old and a 6-month-old. Should I bring the 6-month-old on the trip or try to get a relative (my mother probably) to take him for the weekend?

Hi, Tammy! The Great Wolf Lodge does not provide childcare. Depending on the height of your older children, they may need adult chaperones for some of the water slides. You can check specific height requirements on the website, just go to http://www.greatwolf.com/mason/safety. If you bring your 6-month-old along, while there will be appropriate water activities in the park, the older ones may want to be off doing other bigger kid things that require your attention as well. For a 8 and 6 year old, it might be difficult to be patient when there is so much to see and do! Even with two parents, juggling three in that circumstance may be a bit challenging. When we brought our infant nephew along (3 adults, 5 children - ages 7, 5, 5, 3 and infant), we really needed one adult with him all the time. Honestly, when it was my turn, it was a bit frustrating.....the rest of the group was off doing older kid stuff and it was just too difficult to keep up with them with an infant in my arms. I am confident the Lodge can accomodate your 6-month-old, supervision will be your biggest concern. It may be wise to leave the little one with grandma. Tough call!!

Does the waterpark have enough activities for a 2-year-old?

I think there will be plenty of fun to be had for your two year old, Stacy! While the waves may be a little rough in the Slap Tail Pond, the cool water spouts at the shore of this pool are a favorite of the little ones. There is also a separate zero-depth entry pool area with kiddie slides for smaller children. I'm certain your two year old will enjoy this area! I love that the lodge has life jackets available for your youngster (they are available right when you enter the waterpark - along with plenty of fresh towels for your day)! The Cub Club provides several fun activities for your little one too. There are several structured crafts and activities for your child (some have a small fee, but others are free) as well as a plethora of games to keep your little one busy when you're taking a break from the waterpark fun. Story Time and the animated "Rhythm of Nature" show at the Great Clock Tower will probably also be a hit with your youngster! Finally, you may want to pick up a MagiQuest wand and give that a try with your toddler. Adult supervision will be required, but the little kids love when you can make animals move and talk throughout the lobby and restaurants with just a wave of the wand! It's magical for them!!

We are going to visit the Mason Great Wolf Lodge. We have five children ages 14, 11, 3, 3, and 1. Will my one year old be able to enjoy himself like the others?
