Like, really hot. During the summer months temperatures often climb into the triple digits. And that can create problems for the majority of parents who welcomed their little ones during that time of year. That\u2019s right, national data confirms that July and August account for the most popular birthday months out of the entire year. So then, just what are you supposed to do to avoid a hot and sticky birthday disaster?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s Arizona, which means a trip to the beach is out. Pool parties are an option, although open roofs, hot temperatures and little kids don\u2019t always mix well. But an indoor water park? Well, that might just do the trick.<\/p>\n<p>Great Wolf Lodge opened its doors in Scottsdale, Arizona back in October 2019. Today, it remains the only indoor water park resort in the state, which is what makes it a pretty popular destination for kids\u2019 birthday parties. Don\u2019t forget, there\u2019s an entire adventure park to check out as well, so even those who don\u2019t like to swim will have plenty to do. Listed below are just a few ways Great Wolf Lodge can help turn your kid\u2019s birthday party into an absolute hit.<\/p>\n<h2>Birthday Party Packages, and Lots of Them<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1250\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gwl-mascot.jpg\" alt=\"kids at birthday party with mascot and balloons\" width=\"600\" height=\"344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gwl-mascot.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/gwl-mascot-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It can be hard to arrange the perfect party.

Unless, of course, you head to Great Wolf Lodge where even the pickiest partier is sure to have a good time. Our adventure park offers a host of activities to enjoy for those who prefer to stay dry, and on land.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s an arcade, bowling alley, ropes course, build-a-bear workshop and more that they can choose from!<\/p>\n<h3>On-Site Eateries<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1253\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/eating-at-gwl.jpg\" alt=\"family eating pizza at restaurant table\" width=\"600\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/eating-at-gwl.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/eating-at-gwl-300x170.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing about kids: they like to eat. And that can present a challenge when you\u2019ve got a whole party to feed. Save yourself from stressing out about where to eat and how to get there. Our party packages provide beverages, pizza and cake. There are also a bunch of kid-friendly eateries at the lodge to explore.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve got hot dogs, hamburgers, tacos, ice cream and more! There are also fresh salads to choose from, but remember, we\u2019re talking about a kids\u2019 birthday party. We\u2019re in the business of creating memories, not miracles.<\/p>\n<p>Check out our birthday party packages <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/arizona\/birthdays\">here<\/a>.
