    this was the 5th life guard to come up and be served even with a line of over 10-15 people waiting for their food.

    we have been waiting in line for almost 30 minutes waiting for our food. not only that but all these lifeguard who did not wait in line have all walked up to the window and picked up their food and have all been served first. and they did not have any pizzas and did not post it outside. i just do not understand prioritizing people that they are paying and not the people that have literally paid and waited in the long lines. Also to add that after waiting in line for the 30 minutes and we walked up to ask what was going on we were greeted with being told they lost our order and that they would add it back into the queue but not prioritize it even though it was their fault that lost it. another thing is in their lazy river there are almost no floaties and when you grab a floaty life guard start yelling at you for any little thing you do. we came here expecting a nice day away from the sun and honestly it is just a poop show. it's like the entire park is being ran by 5 year olds.

    Growing up, I lived 5 minutes away from Knott's Soak City Buena Park so summers spent at water parks were a thing! My brother and I would spend all day at the water park with our season passes. Dropzone is smaller, but now that I have a one year old, I can appreciate a smaller park! It's geared more toddler friendly. There's only a couple of "big slides", but the big slides were fun. What I like about this place is that it's not nearly as crowded as other water parks. We aren't waiting an hour in line for an attraction each time. I'd say 10-15 minutes at most! Sometimes usually a couple minutes. There are season passes available as well. Definitely something to check out!

    My kids had a great time here! There is a Lazy River, 3 big water slides, a water park area, and kids pool and a big kid pool! My kids want to go back. They are ages 3 and 11. They do let some food in. The price is good for what they offer. I didn't try their food. The water didn't seem dirty to me and the entire area seemed clean! I will be going back :)

    I like The Wave…read more This place has been around since I was in High School, so damn near 30 years now. Back then, it was a fun way to spend an afternoon. Now, it's a pretty good place to bring the kids for a few hours of cool swimming on a hot day. The park is small, limited to a large pool for regular swimming, a splash pad for younger kids, a three story tower with multiple slides, a quick flowing lazy river, and the aforementioned wave machine. On crowded days, you can end up brushing elbows in the water with strangers, and it can be a 10 minute wait for a slide. But, even in the middle of summer, I never felt like it was too packed to cause any problems. Prices are reasonable. Around $70 will get you a season pass that will let you come all summer. And, if you're like me, there's a $11 Happy Hour option that let's you hang out for a couple of hours before the pool closes ... a perfect once or twice a week choice to bring young kids that want to swim, but you don't want them baking too long in the sun. The pool itself is as clean as you'd expect; the surrounding area has some wear and tear, but nothing too bad considering the age of the place. And all of the lifeguards are well trained, very attentive, and still friendly while doing the unenviable task of making sure people don't get overly rowdy. All-in-all, The Wave isn't as grand as a Raging Rivers or the water park at LegoLand, but it's still well priced and fine enough to keep your kids cool and happy. I'm sure I'll be back next summer.

Use a credit card to book your room, so you can use their quick check in line. Either way, make sure you take the exact card you use to book for checking in. Before you go, buy the discounted dining deal. You can only buy it in advance, and the food and drinks are pretty pricey, so you will spend $$$. I also suggest attaching your credit card to your wristband for convenience. We really enjoyed the pizza place onsite. We checked in on a Sunday and it was a bit crowded, but we managed to do it all in three hours. The kids loved the bunk bed, and my only complaint about our room is that the tub faucet leaked. The next day, we packed a bag with a change of clothes that we fit into a small locker for $12, and went back into the waterpark for a couple more hours. I recommend packing travel toiletries for a quick shower before leaving. They have plenty of showers, changing rooms, and a swimsuit dryer, but no toiletries in the waterpark bathrooms. Waterpark towels are provided and must be checked out and in or you'll be charged, so don't lose them. There's a water bottle refill station in the waterpark near the bathrooms. We didn't try many of the activities offered except for the arcade that offered packages starting at $35. Lastly, be sure to pay for parking before you leave. That was also $35. All in all, we got a deal on the room but spent more on food, drinks, games, and parking combined. My kids are 5 and 10, and they were able to go on just about everything that was open. One day was plenty of time if you don't plan on doing all of the activities.

    Our experience trying to plan my son's birthday event at Great Wolf Lodge in Garden Grove was…read morebeyond frustrating and honestly one of the worst customer service experiences I've had. The issue is not necessarily that every employee was rude -- the real problem is the completely broken system and lack of communication between departments. We booked THREE rooms for 18 guests for a birthday celebration and simply wanted to reserve and pay for a place where everyone could eat lunch together and celebrate with cake. Something that should have been straightforward became an exhausting process filled with confusion, conflicting information, and endless transfers between departments. The front desk had no idea about the policies of the events department. The front desk also had no clear understanding of pool policies. Every single question required someone to "leave a note" for another department and wait for an email response that never came. No callbacks. No follow-up. No accountability. The most frustrating part was trying to contact the front desk directly. First, you are forced through an AI system. Then you finally reach someone in the "reservation department," who is not even onsite. Despite politely asking multiple times to be transferred directly to the front desk, they refused and insisted they could help. They could not. Instead, they placed me on hold supposedly to ask the front desk themselves -- and after 11 minutes on hold, they never came back. At that point, yes, the reservation department representatives themselves became part of the problem: rude, dismissive, unprofessional, poorly trained, and completely incapable of resolving even simple questions. This company has far too many unnecessary departments that clearly do not communicate or work together. Planning an important family event here became stressful instead of enjoyable. I will never host another birthday event at Great Wolf Lodge again, and I would strongly caution families against wasting their time and money here for important celebrations.

    Fun place for all ages including adults…read more We got the Groupon deal which works on attractions, arcade and food. There's one ticket counter line shared with the food line. You go here to redeem and each of us received a card. they had stickers to label the cards to tell them apart. We did the 18 hole miniature golf, go karts, and batting cages. The go kart has a separate toddler track near the batting cages. I actually got bored on the track because they have you out there for a good 10 minutes and all you do is go in circles. The batting cages were tricky based on the speed of the ball. Make sure you wear your helmets. Afterwards we played in the arcade. We ordered nachos for $3.75. They asked if we wanted jalapeños, we said on the side. Turns out, it was $1 charge for a small container! At least be honest and give heads up. I was wondering why nachos cost almost double. Plenty of seating everywhere. Private parties were happening all over.

    Family-friendly fun!…read more It's rare to find a place that can keep the family and, let alone, one's self, entertained for more than a couple hours. But Mulligans does the job. Inside, there is a seating section where you can watch a game while eating or having a drink. The arcade is right next to it as it is all an open-space which is nice. Heading outside, there are a variety of activities to choose from. They've got 2 x 18 holes of putt-putt golf with fun, festive layouts. The electric go-karts drove fast for go-kart level and it was a fun track as well. I can probably count the number of times I've played laser-tag on 2 hands but a couple of times the laser didn't work but at Mulligans it worked both times we've been there. Super fun! They even have a toddler section with a little playground, a couple slow rides and slow go/karts. They just gotta get a couple tv's up on the wall of the outdoor seating area. They probably used to have them up so I'm assuming they'll be putting new ones up.

It was nice to have things more spread out where I didn't feel claustrophobic or trapped. Overall we had a great day here. We went on Memorial Day which I expected to be super crowded but it was manageable I have 2 kids under 10 and they were able to enjoy different aspects of the park. Here are my takeaways: Arrive early - that's the best way to get seats and get a few rides in before it gets busy. People seem to respect seat saving. So have a couple towels that you can leave to hold a spot. Bring snacks - the lines were long to get food. Try to avoid busy times or else you will be waiting for a long time. Also get the daily dining plan. We got food every 90 minutes until lines got super long. (The dining plan also works at Knotts across the street.) Wear water socks or shoes to keep your feet safe and clean. The ground gets HOT. Plus you won't have to leave your shoes and risk them getting taken. Bring towels, they do not provide any there. I'd even bring an extra towel or 2 so that way you always have a dry towel if you want to towel off during the day. Be prepared for chilly water. It was manageable, especially on a hot day. But my kids were chilly walking from one place to the next. Come up with a system for your kids in case you get separated. It's easy to get out of view, especially when you have 2 or more kids doing different things. Tell them where to go (or to stay put) if they can't find you, and where you will be. Put your kids in bright clothing so they stand out and are easy to spot. You can bring blankets and umbrellas to sit on the grass if you'd like. Lines will get super long as the day progresses. Get there early, ride as much as you can, then chill for the rest of the day. You have to be able to walk up a lot of stairs if you want to do the slides.
