Does GWL, particularly Sandusky location, cater to children with developmental disabilities (ie: autism). I am interested in taking my 7 yr old son, who enjoys swimming and water.
Hi, Vicci. The staff and lifeguards at the Sandusky, Great Wolf Lodge are very accommodating. Two years ago, we went with another family to Great Wolf Lodge and their son has autism. We planned our stay to enjoy certain amenities when they were less crowded and we also went midweek when it not as crowded. For example, we went to the waterpark in the morning for a couple of hours, when it is not quite as crowded, then went the Cub Club and Northern Lights Arcade during the early afternoon. From our experience the arcade tends to be the busiest in the evening so we went back to the waterpark in the evening when it was less crowded there. For dinner, we ordered room service to our room, which was very reasonably priced, and enjoyed some quiet time together. You don't want to miss the Great Clock Tower show and Story Time that follows, it is a wonderful way to end the day. When you check, let them know of your sons needs and they will be able to offer suggestions to make your stay enjoyable.
Explore Children Activities at Great Wolf Lodge
Your children will love all that we have to offer at the Sandusky, OH 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.
Alberta Falls™
Alberta Falls is four stories of fun. Twist in and out of the Lodge before dropping into the plunge pool. (Don't worry, the tube is enclosed so there's no temperature change!)
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.
Big Foot Pass™
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.
Totem Towers™
No tube, raft or mat required. Just lie down, cross your arms over your chest, and propel yourself down the 100-foot slide.
Otter Run™
These twin three-story slides offer the fastest (not to mention, funfilled) escape route out of the Fort Mackenzie tree house.
Whooping Hollow™
For the "54 inches and under" set, we offer a kiddie slide that the little ones will want to try again and again and again.
Soak'n Oak Springs™
They can safely toddle along, exploring the playtime kiddie tree, or wade into the zero-depth entry kiddie pool with a maximum depth of 1' 6".
