The Waterpark at Great Wolf Lodge

The waterpark at GWL is really cool. There are a bunch of different water activities designed for different reasons and age groups. There is a little pool as you walk in that is designed for infants and toddlers. It has little slides and buckets that dump water and goes from floor level to 1 1/2 foot deep. To the left of that there is a pool for swimming that goes to 5 feet and has a section for basketball as well as a section with floating animals you can play on. In the middle there is a very large jungle gym/fort thing that has tons of water related activities, mostly related to climbing. At the top there are two mid-size waterslides to get back down. Also at the top is an enormous bucket that constantly fills with water. Once the water gets to a certain level the bucket empties hundreds of gallons of water on the people below. A bell rings just before it dumps so that anyone intereseted in getting dowsed can get into place. To the left of that there is a small pool (goes to 2 1/2 feet) with three small slides designed for preschoolers. Syd spent most of her time here. She absolutely loved the slides. At the back of the building are two pairs of big waterslides. One pair you go down on your back or sitting up and the other pair you go down on an innertube. Zack spent most of his time on these and the fort. There is also a slow moving innertube ride that just brings you around a little island of sorts. This is the liesurely ride. And beside that is a hot tub area. Although kids are allowed in the front area of this, they are not allowed in the back area. As you can see from the pictures (they go in order of the description) we had a great time.
