Visit Great Wolf Lodge for Family Fun in Traverse City

Apparently I forgot to post about our trip to Great wolf Lodge this summer, so I am getting caught up now. We had sooo much fun!! My husband had a conference at Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City,MI so we decided to tag along for some fun. My boys are ages 3-10 and they all gave it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend taking advantage of the waterpark the evening you check in and the morning before you check out and then saving the dry activities for when the waterpark closes and your check out day.

We lived it up and did every activity possible in a short period of time because that’s just how I do vacations. LOL The only thing we didn’t do was the magic wand where you go around and find hidden treasure. There was a long line due to covid and quite frankly I felt like we could live with out it. Now, the bakery, we couldn’t live with out that. Oh my gosh they have the best desserts!! Connor chose a massive brownie, I always get the cookie sandwich with frosting in the middle because hello that’s like the best thing on earth, and the younger ones are my ice cream lovers so they went that route. They also have a great little pizza place connected to the bakery where you can get pizza by the slice or order to your room. That is probably the most economical way to eat for dinner.

Here is a list of ALL the FUN activities we did at Great Wolf Lodge. You can also check out the Highlight Reel on my Instagram or Facebook page

Last but not least if you are traveling to the Traverse City Great wolf Lodge during the summer months or you have good weather in the spring or fall, I highly recommend taking an extra day or few hours to travel up to Sleeping Bear Dunes. You won’t regret it! The best part is you’re only about 40 minutes from Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore so if the weather is nice you can venture North for some of Michigan’s most beautiful shoreline 🌊
