Great Wolf Lodge Traverse City

10/10 Excellent

"The pool was awesome, huge hot tub and the kids loved it. The parking situation is a little weird though because you need wristbands in order to get in and out, otherwise you have to pay 20 dollars. We had someone in our party come late so at 1 am I had to wake-up and walk outside of the gate to hand them their wristband in order for them to get in. A few minutes after that while at the front desk, I heard on the employee radio that I was a suspicious person for doing so. So thats fun. Overall though it was an exciting stay for the kids"

"Quiet neighborhood! Therecwere friendly folks in the area, good local dining in Empire and a great starting off point for viewing The Dunes!"
