The Great Wolf Lodge is a fun vacation experience for the whole family. With so much under one roof families can spend their entire vacation in one place.

Families looking for a fun vacation that includes something for everyone are encouraged to consider the Great Wolf Lodge. With 11 locations nationwide, chances are there’s a Great Wolf Lodge near you. The Texas location is conveniently located in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of North Texas.

Something for everyone

With over 80,000 square feet of indoor fun, the Great Wolf Lodge has something for every member of the family. The indoor water park contains six swimming and activity pools, nine water slides, a lazy river and two whirlpools. There’s also an outdoor swimming area for days when weather permits.

The Northern Lights Arcade is fun for the whole family. With over one hundred games, there’s something for every age and skill level.

Activities for babies and toddlers

Young children will enjoy scheduled shows in the lobby’s Great Clock Tower where animated woodland friends come alive to educate and entertain. Bedtime stories are told each night at 8pm. Blankets, pajamas and pillows are encouraged.

The Cub Club provides little ones with quality arts and crafts activities. Children can draw, make a mask or string a necklace. Toddlers and young children will be able to create their own one of a kind souvenirs to take home.

Fun for tweens

Tweens will be captivated by MagiQuest, which is one part exploring and one part magic. With wand in hand, live action role playing games allow kids to explore an enchanted kingdom, battle goblins and dragons, befriend pixies, and learn from ancient wizards. There are many animated and interactive objects sure to delight and engage even the most hard to impress children.

The Scoops Kids Spa is just what’s needed after a hard day of play, fun and games. Mani or Pedi or both, the choice is up to the diva. The facials are to die for and so is the complimentary ice cream treat given at the end of a luxurious spa experience.

Teens have a place all their own

Teens will love the gr8_Space with teen-appropriate internet access, mp3 docking stations, and multiple game systems that include Xbox360®, PlayStation® and Nintendo Wii®. gr8_Space is supervised by a professional tech jockey who plays music and hosts nightly events like Rock Star Karaoke.

Parents can enjoy some quality adult time

While the kids are happy at play, parents can enjoy the Elements Spa Salon where busy moms and dads can unwind with a deep relaxation massage or a rejuvenating facial. There are several shops where guests can find clothing, souvenirs and toys. Choosing what to eat is simple with a huge selection of fast food and fine dining restaurants. The Iron Horse Fitness Center allows guests to stick to their exercise routine while on vacation.

Take the shuttle into historic Grapevine

With so much to do under one roof, it’s possible to arrive at the Great Wolf Lodge and not have to leave once during your stay. But if a day of site-seeing is desired, the Grapevine Mills Mall is right up the road. The mall offers 1.6 million square feet of shopping, entertainment and restaurants. Included is the newly finished Lego Land Discovery Center and the Sea Life Aquarium. The Great Wolf Lodge provides shuttle service to the mall as well as to the city of Grapevine.

For families searching for a great vacation destination, the Great Wolf Lodge is an excellent choice. Visiting the Great Wolf website for deals, specials, rates and accommodations is just a click away.
