Both the Hip Team and readers love spending time at Great Wolf Lodge, and using promo codes helps save on your stay, but we have even more tips and tricks to extend the fun and stretch your dollar!

Check out our favorite tips to help maximize your savings:

  • Arrive in swimwear: Water park access starts at 1 pm (or earlier by location), even though room check-in is at 4 pm. You can also stay until the park closes on checkout day.
  • Towels and Coast Guard-approved life jackets are provided: Just bring cover-ups; towels must stay in designated areas.
  • Book activity & dining passes in advance: Buy passes online ahead of time to save 30%+. Bundle for discounts on games, candy, ice cream, and more.
  • Bring your own food & drinks: Rooms have mini-fridges (some with microwaves). Bring snacks and meals to avoid pricey resort food. Coolers are allowed, just not in the water park.
  • Look for local Groupon dining deals: Save money by dining off-resort with local Groupon restaurant offers.
  • Use coupons: Check online or print coupons for discounts on the gift shop, activities, and spa services.
  • Visit during off-peak hours: Lines are shorter in the early morning and late evening. Even at 85% capacity, it rarely feels too crowded.
  • Wristbands = keys + wallets: Wristbands function as room keys and charge cards. Kids can get non-payment bands for safety.
  • Food Allergies? No problem: The resort chef will work with you to provide safe custom meals for allergy needs.

Wondering if the water park is suitable for your non-swimmer?

They have a dedicated area for infants and younger children to play in, and parents are encouraged to join them. The indoor wave pool has three settings: calm, medium, and high. Puddle jumpers helped, but it was overwhelming for three- and five-year-olds to navigate alone. The outdoor pool is perfect for swimmers of all ages, allowing them to splash and play at their skill level.

Hip Tip: On checkout day, if you plan on staying at the water park until it closes, be sure to be out of your room by 11 am and store your luggage at the front desk or in your car. Pack a smaller bag with a change of clothes that you can take into the water park and store inside the lockers (available for rent). You can also use the showers and dryers inside the water park.

And don’t miss out on the freebies:
