Great Wolf Lodge Review - Concord, NC
/
Forgive me guys, but this post is LONG overdue. I have spent so much time trying to make sure I included everything you need to know, but always feel free to ask questions. So here’s a quick review of what I thought of this location and is it really worth the money.
I will start by saying Great Wolf Lodge owes us nothing! We had a great time; so much so the kids didn’t want to leave.
We arrived on a Monday; which was perfect and were able to check in with ease. Everyone received a set of wolf ears. We were asking if there were any birthdays so we had the option of getting the birthday ears but no one in our crew was celebrating.
Everyone was given a wristband which served as our room key (genius)!
Duration: 3 Days & 2 Nights
Time: November 2019
Price: $520
How many people?
There were 3 adults and 3 children in our crew.
Accommodations
Our room was nice and just enough for what we needed. If we ever decided to go again we would opt for a larger suite but if you truly just want to have fun and go for the experience the room we had was fine.
There were 3 twin sized beds in the room which gave the kids enough space, a sleeper sofa and a queen sized bed. More than enough space for the 6 people in our party. Parking is adequate especially if you remember which side of the lodge you’re on. You can park closer to your room for easy access. However, there’s only one set of elevators and that can be troublesome when you have so many people.
Food
There are tons of options on-site and in the area. We did both, it was cheaper for us to eat breakfast offsite, there is a McDonalds, Chick-fil a and BoJangles nearby.
We dined onsite at the following:
Hungry As A Wolf
It was really good and a decent price. I’m a pizza lover so this was perfect for me and the kids didn’t complain. We ordered one large pizza for lunch.
Buckets Incredible Craveables
We also enjoyed burgers from here and they were delicious and made to order and the price was great!
Attractions:
We purchased the Wolf Pass for $59.99 and it was worth every penny. We didn’t even complete all of the activities. I think you get the most bang for your buck, especially if you’re going to stay around for a few days.
This is a fun interactive ride. You sit down and buckle up and go on a wild ride. It was perfect for everyone. I wouldn’t recommend it for kids younger than 4 years old.
Such a neat game. The girls played against each other; think of tic tac toe on a larger scale!
We ran out of time to bowl but the alley is pretty small so prepare to get in and get out.
There were so many games to choose from and it’s open 24 hours; so it’s perfect for any downtime.
You need a group to play this game. The girls tried to play alone and didn’t have much fun.
Friendly tip: If you plan to the MagiQuest game allot enough time for that. The game requires 4-6 hours.
Final Thoughts
The staff was friendly and helpful, it was nice to go during off season because I remember waiting in line for hours to ride when I went during Spring Break a few years ago. My kids enjoyed themselves and would love to return. They do have an option to just come in for the water park for around $70. It would have costed us $350+tax if we just did that, so it’s worth staying the night. There was more than enough to do and kept everyone busy.
