Hi there, we are a family of 6 and our children range in ages from 7years - 6mths. I am worried that we will not get the full value with our stay....Do they allow our 6mth old to do anything with us???
Carrie, There is PLENTY your 6-month-old can do with your family. Chipmunk Cove is a shallow pool with 4 waterslides that your children over 36 inches tall can ride. Often there are infants in this pool sitting and splashing away! Rainbow Lake is a zero-depth entry wave pool. The waves are on every 12 minutes. Crystal River is a lazy river that you can use with or without a tube. The Wooly Mammoth is a waterslide that the whole family can go down together (provided your 6 month old can sit up on his/her own). Scan your wristband up top before you go down the slide and you can view and purchase pictures at the concierge desk. In the summer Loon Lagoon, an outdoor pool, is open. They have a small waterslide the littles ones enjoy. You can take your baby down to Cub Club where they have some toys your baby can play with while your older children play and do crafts. You will not be able to leave your baby at Cub Club unattended, however there is in-room baby-sitting for a fee. Another thing your family can share together is Story Time. That is one of my favorite activities!! Come to the lobby in your jammies to hear the animals and listen to stories read by staff. The staff reading the story are always so entertaining! They are excellent with the children, and they all have a great time! One of the nice things about Great Wolf is that there are a variety of activities that children of all ages can enjoy. Enjoy your Great Wolf stay! Kim
How do you get to become the "Family of the Day" at the waterpark? It would be great to be able to do this on our next visit.
For a chance to become the "Family of the Day" you need to fill out an entry form and deposit at the desk where they measure the kids. Each morning just prior to the waterpark opening a name is drawn and the winning family is allowed to use an indoor screen gazebo for the day with a mini fridge filled with water and healthy snacks. At the Niagara Falls resort the gazebo is right by Crystal River. Good Luck, and Have Fun!
I am going on December 22 to December 24 for my sons birthday. I purchased the party package for my son. Is there anything free for fun for my kids ages 8, 5 and 3? I am on a budget. Please and thanks :)
The Story Time every evening at 8:00 pm is free, also the Cub Club room offers some free crafts and some additional crafts with a small fee. The Niagara Falls festival of lights is free and worth the drive along the falls. Have Fun!
I've just booked a one-night stay to celebrate my daughter's 10th birthday. Any advice on getting the most of our time there? What should we not miss?
My wife and daughters like the Spa. They have kids specials in the Scooops Spa for kids. I like the Wooly Mammoth ride myself, and ride it almost continually while we are there. Make some time for the Northern Lights Arcade. All my kids love it there. Make sure you contact the Lodge and ask about deals on birthday presents/packages. Have a fun and happy birthday,
Explore Family Activities at Great Wolf Lodge
Throughout the entire Niagara Falls, ON lodge, you’ll find a range of activities that will keep your children active and entertained for hours. Please explore some of our most popular attractions that the whole family can enjoy.
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, 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.
Otter Lake™ Activity Pool
Get into the hoopla with a little water basketball with the kids. Let them test their balance along a floating "snake" or just goof around (safely, of course!) in this 4-foot-deep activity pool.
Kiddie Slides
We offer exciting-yet-safe kiddie slides that the little ones will want to try again and again and again ...
Niagara Rapids Run™
This family water roller coaster travels 727-ft (some of it is even uphill!) and features a 52-ft. vertical drop.
To see your picture on this slide check out our photo booth located in the Grand Living Room.

Join in on various poolside activities including live entertainment; hoola hoop contests, bingo and much more (see Lodge Life for schedule). There's something for everyone.
Frog Pond™
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.
Grizzly Falls™, Eagle Falls™ and Bobcat Falls™
Three tube slides covering 1,100ft. Twisting inside and outside the Lodge before dropping into a plunge pool below (Don't worry, the tube is enclosed so there's no temperature change!).
