We spent a fun weekend at The Great Wolf Lodge with Bob’s boys and their families. Do you know about these places? It’s a chain, but there’s only one here in the west–and it’s about 20 minutes south of Olympia.
They certainly have the “wolf” and “lodge” theme figured out.
But the big draw is the indoor water park.
There are lots of areas, including a great toddler pool.
And a wave pool.
Several tube rides you could shoot out of! I discovered I can still scream really loud–especially when your tube is doing a vertical drop!
This was the view of the tube rides from our room. Great fun during the day, but nobody told me it would be pitch black in the Howlin’ Tornado after dark!
It was several stories high inside, and there was a HUGE bucket that would fill with water….
…and once it was full, it would tip……
….and splash everything in the middle of the room!
The kids had so much fun. McKenna was big enough and brave enough to go on all the rides.
Justin loved the slides and jet skis.
Carson and Jason had lots of fun in the toddler pool.
Carson nearly drowned me when I tried to take his picture!
Peyton got some Grandma time.
And some time in the pool, too!
It was great fun, and I highly recommend it!

I haven’t been, but I know some families who have enjoyed it a lot. The story-time before bed was another highlight for some. It is certainly a fun place for families of all ages. The Olympia one is the closest one for us Canadians too.

Thanks for blogging about this! I’d recently heard about this place, and was thinking it would be a fun place to try out, so it’s great to see more pictures and hear more about it. Maybe we’ll start planning a visit!
