and 7 a.m., there were children making noise and racing down the hallways. Despite countless signs posted throughout the resort pleading for quiet-time between the hours of 11 p.m. My only negative feedback during our weekend adventure at Great Wolf Lodge in the Ponocos was the noise level at night.

With full bellies and a day filled with non-stop adventure, we were exhausted and ready to unwind as we participated in the Great Wolf Lodge traditional bedtime routine – a forest friends sing-a-long coupled with story time by the fireplace. Next, we hit the bountiful dinner buffet in the main dining room with quality options, even for the pickiest of eaters, and a top-notch dessert spread with cake pops, brownies, cannolis, Rice Krispie treats, and more. It was so unbelievable…we had to experience it twice! The proverbial cherry on top for us was the thrilling roller coaster ride inside the virtual reality, Howlywood XD theater. They wield their magic wands throughout the property to engage with numerous exhibits at every turn while scoring points and unlocking secrets on their journey to find treasure.
The highlights for us were playing glow-in-the-dark miniature golf, pint-sized bowling in their Ten Paw Alley, and playing MagiQuest – a unique experience, where your child is transported into a world of magic, wizardry, and imagination. With an endless supply of towels provided at the water park, we dried off, changed, and prepared for an evening of excitement using our “Wolf Pass.” The Wolf Pass (additional fee) is like a golden ticket that enables you to kick the tires with most of the awesome on-site amenities at the lodge. Additionally, we loved Coyote Cannon because it felt like we were being flushed down a giant toilet bowl! It was pure, edge of your raft awesomeness!Īnother water slide highlight was Hydro Plunge, a winning combination of roller-coaster and toboggan. With relatively short lines, we must have rafted down “Double Barrel” at least a dozen times. Our favorite was the “Double Barrel” – a fast-paced, tunnel slide that whisks you into a dark barrel of roaring rapids…only to make a 450 degree hairpin turn that drops you into a second vortex before splashing you into a disco music zone for the finale. There was something for everyone to enjoy! In the water at Great Wolf Lodge, Poconosįor the afternoon, we spent the majority of our time rafting down the incredible water slides. A welcoming labyrinth of huge zig-zagging water slides, a three story-tree house equipped with a gargantuan bucket ready to soak us to the core, wave pool, lazy river, ropes style obstacle course, tot-play areas, water basketball pool, and more. Visualize a room larger than a football field with ceilings and rafters soaring five stories high. The water park reminded me of something out of a Willy Wonka film, only with rivers of swirling and sloshing water instead of chocolate. We entered the balmy, 84 degree oasis, with shit eating grins on our faces. The crown jewel of Great Wolf Lodge in the Poconos was, of course, the indoor water park.
Consequently, our primary goal was to immerse ourselves in the indoor water park, not relax inside the room. The room could comfortably sleep a family of four to six. The massive room with vaulted ceilings and a small balcony was more than adequate for the two of us. Just a short, 90-minute ride from New York City, Great Wolf Lodge in the Poconos was a perfect, fun-filled, action-packed, indoor getaway.Īfter our arrival, we rushed upstairs to our spacious room in the log-cabin style lodge to stash away our winter coats and change into our bathing suits. With frigid winter temperatures upon us, my 6-year old son and I hopped into our car last weekend for our latest family adventure. Rafting by water slide at Great Wolf Lodge, Poconos
