Great Wolf Lodge is REALLY Great for Grownups

Yum

June 9, 2017 By Autumn Rose Reo 1 Comment

Think Great Wolf Lodge is just the kiddos? Think again. From margaritas to massages, here’s 10 reasons why Great Wolf Lodge is really great for grownups.

Thanks to Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine Texas for showing our family a howling good time!

Oh, the things we do for our kids…  

Stand in line during for hours for toys that you’ll hate later just to hear that squeal on Christmas morning. 
 
Hold them for hours even after they’ve puked up their guts all over you knowing full well you’ll get sick too just to rock them to sleep. 
 
Take off for a weekend of nonstop kid-loving waterparking, magical wands, arcade games, and more at Great Wolf Lodge.

Actually that’s what I *thought* it was gonna be like during my recent first trip to Great Wolf.
 
In the words of my husband, “we were taking one for the team.” 
 
BUT I was pleasantly wrong and very surprised.
 
No doubt there was going to be fun with a indoor and outdoor waterpark, tons of Not just because my kids were so jazzed for weeks until our trip and kept a huge smile across their face the ENTIRE time we were there, but because the “kids vacay” became one for the big kids, too.

10 Reasons Great Wolf Lodge is Really Great for Grownups 

1. The food is REALLY good. 

You’ll find no shortage of chicken nuggets, pizza, really great mac and cheese, and hamburgers here and when you need to feed the kids that’ll work and do you well. But you’ll also find upscale cheese plates, prime rib, and salad options galore. But for those with a little more picky palates, you’ll find it at the Lodge Wood Fired Grill. Expect notable choices like Ahi Tuna, Brussel sprouts, and of course a sizzling ribeye you’ll feel like you’re dining like date night. So if you have tweens, let them head to the arcade while you get in a little dinner or round up the crew and don’t feel like you’ll need a sitter because this is one steak house that won’t flinch when you bring in all the troops.

2. Perfect Proximity

Want to get me to relax? Then put me in a place that I feel like my kids are safe. While you’ll still need to keep a watchout for children swimming, there’s so much comfort that kids of all ages can be happy and still in reach within a few hundred feet of each other. Even if you have kids of different ages all throughout Great Wolf, there never more a few minutes from you. That makes it a no-brainer for families looking for something to make everyone happy, especially the adults.

3. Keep Going with Caffeine

With so much to do, you’re gonna need the caffeine and they know it. You’ll find a Starbucks to get you moving and keep you going all day long! 

4. Livin’ on Island Time 

When I think of a real vacation, I envision cool cabanas, a Bahama Mama in my hand, and cool water just steps from my toes. Great Wolf has that and lot more. Keep an eye on the kids while they power away all day and you just sit in your chair thinking about how much life would be better if it were like just.like.this. everyday.

5. Get in your own element at the Spa.

While Taylor and I had a “howling good time” with mommy and me manicures and ice cream treats at Scooops Kid Spa, head upstairs to Elements Spa if you are looking for a little less giggles and sparkles. With top of the line massages (including couples and prenatal options), facials and salon services, it’s a real adult retreat within the resort.

6. Take it to the the Limit.

Are you less lawnchair and more “let’s go!”? Then get going on the Howlers Peak Ropes Course. With a course for the littles and the big kids, you’ll be flying high in no time. Th.ere’s even a bungee jump on one side for those of us that really live on the edge (of parenting that is.)

7. Slowing it down with Story Time 

If you sit down to story time at your house every night you know that can be an ordeal within itself. When you’re at Great Wolf Lodge, not only do they take that work off your hands, but they will wear them babies out with appearances, pictures, and of course, stories. They’ll be so ready to go to bed so you can spend a little downtown.

8. Dancing Machine

So the storytime doesn’t work to calm down your kids? Or are you just hitting your high around 8 pm! Don’t worry the party doesn’t stop unless you want it too! The pajama party is the nightclub of my dreams. They took it back old school with a mix of now so I could shimmy and shake with glowsticks and bubbles all while wearing our yoga pants. Best of all I knew when I was done, the bed was just a few steps from moving to the Macarena.

9. Wine Down with a Little Wine. 

This is the newest and for me one of the coolest ways to hit the hay for adults. Paired with cheese and sweets, the Wine Down Service, lets you “wine down” with four adult-themed packages like the Kids Snoring, More Pinot Noir-ing featuring chocolate truffles and Pinot Noir. And so the cubs stay asleep while you await your treat, room service will text you at the door so the knock doesn’t wake up! (DOUBLE PAW POINTS FOR THAT!)

10. Yes, because it’s REALLY FUN! 

Yep, it’s just freaking fun to get away and do something different, to let it go, and most of all, just be a bigKID.With everything you want at your fingertips, everyone in your family will have memories to last them a lifetime…or at least you head back to Great Wolf Lodge next time.
