💬 What Parents Say

• 💡Book online for the best rates on rooms, as walk-up pricing is significantly higher. One Saturday night with two wolf passes was $800, making advance booking essential for budget-conscious families.
• 💡Arrive early on your check-in day to maximize water park time — the park is open from arrival to close on both arrival and departure days. Early arrival (around 1pm) allows you to enjoy several hours before dinner.
• 💡Bring your own snacks and consider getting takeout from nearby restaurants instead of eating at the lodge to save money. The arcade is also pricey at about $2 per play, though tickets can be redeemed for prizes.
• 💡The water park is best for younger children (under 10). Kids around 7 years old may find it entertaining for 1-2 hours, so plan other activities like MagiQuest, bowling, and daily free events (dance parties, crafts, character meet-and-greets) to keep older kids engaged.
• 💡Be aware that parking is not included in your room rate and costs $20 extra, but you can avoid this surprise by reading the fine print when booking. Budget accordingly or look for room packages that may include parking.
