We're taking our 4 kids out of school to visit the Poconos location. Grades K, 1, 2, and 4. I need to write a letter to the school explaining the educational purpose of our trip in order to excuse them from school. Any ideas??

Hi Kelly Great question! I am not sure I can pull this one off though....my son would love it if he could be excused from school to go to the GWL. My thought here is to go with the wildlife and conservation. For instance the morning Wolf walk teaches the children all about wolves. There are also Cub Club programs that teach the kids about bugs and such. There is also a huge componet of conservation at the GWL. Perhaps the kids could speak to one of the Pack members and write an essay of water conservation-why its important and such. I am sure if your kids are motivated that they can pull it off.Good Luck.
My husband and I are planning on taking our sons here for a weekend trip over the summer and are just trying to find out what other expenses for activities are not covered with our room/waterpark passes. I know there is an arcade which obviously is not pai
Hi Elizabeth, Besides the Northern Lights Arcade like you said, there is Ten Paw Alley, a small bowling alley, Cub Club crafts & activities (some are no charge), MagiQuest (Interactive Wand Game), Story Explorers for younger children, gr8_space for teens. It may benefit you to purchase a Paw Pass- it saves some money. Check it out on the web site at www.greatwolf.com and after you make your booking you will be asked if you want to add any addition al packages to your room such as meals etc... Have fun.Debbie
I have an 9yr old daughter and a 6yr old son. I was wondering what would be fun fun for all of us to do together?? Please help..
Hi Nicole,There is so much to do together at the GWL. Family Fun is what it's all about! You can go on the slides together, the wave pool, the lazy river, play magi-quest, take a wolf walk,watch a movie.. the lis is endless. There is lots to do together at the GWL and you're sure to have a good time.Enjoy.Debbie
I have a 14 year old and he loves the water and wolves. Other then the waterpark are there any activities for his age range? And are there real wolves there so he could see them?

Hi Brenda, There are a few activities that fit his age range. The first one that comes to mind is Gr8_space. This has plenty for a teenager: video games, computers, iPod docking stations, movies and dance parties. Gr8_space was designed to offer the teenagers something dry to do. There is also Northern Lights arcade which has plenty of arcade games to play. If your son is into remote control racing, there is race zone, which has a track to race either a "rented" car or you can build your own. I am sorry to say that there are no real wolves on the property. There is a program called the Wolf Walk which teaches the children about wolves but there are no real ones to look at.
Good morning Dawn. Im' a single father with a 2 1/2 yr old daughter-she loves the water and we are very active together. Is she too young for this park, and if not where's the best place to stay? Thanks, Steve
Hi Steven, You and your daughter will have a wonderful time at Great Wolf Lodge! Kids and parents alike love the Cub Paw Pool with spray and play features,and the Whooping Hollow Kiddie Slides, Check the GWL website http://www.greatwolf.com/poconos/explore/activities for an explanation of each attraction including height restrictions. Don't miss pajama Story Time at 8:15, and the great Clock Tower Show at 10 am and 8:00 pm. I would suggest either staying in a family suite, or the Wolf Den Suite with a cave-themed sleeping area for your trip. Hope you have a great time! Dawn
Nightly Story Time is the perfect ending to your fun filled day at Great Wolf Lodge. Wear your pajamas and enjoy favorite bedtime stories by the fireplace in the Grand Lobby. Stay afterwards and snap a photo with Wiley or Violet while you give them a high-paw.
Come and explore with us! Wolf Walk is a nature hike where kids and families learn to howl together. Take a morning walk around our Grand Lobby and learn about the many animals of the Northwoods. Everyone will enjoy making a souvenir origami wolf!
Don't miss the Great Clock Tower friends as they come to life in the Grand Lobby!
Show Times: 10:00 a.m., 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.
