    Magi quest
    Alicia E.

    Let's start off by saying that I've been to a few great Wolf Lodges but none as new as this. The hotel: it was okay. I feel like for a Wolf Den, it lacked all the other stuff other gwls have like the tv and it just didn't feel like an immersive experience like it has in the past. The elevators take a really long time especially in the morning. I was also surprised that for such a new building that they didn't make the lobby bigger, knowing that they do a lot of activities in there The food/bar: it was a packed week, and I will say that it took a really long time for food. My kids chicken tenders took over an hour and ten minutes, but they were good. The a firefly drink that I had, which was delicious, took forty minutes to get from the bar in the water park. The other drinks I got from the bar in the lobby and that didn't take nearly as long and the bartender was very friendly. The activities including water park: i will say I like how everything is in one room. But it does make everything feel a lot smaller. I almost wish they didn't have the restaurant in there and just had the fast food. The arcade is pretty small, magi quesr was fun and it was all over the place, but because there's not a lot of places to sit people are sitting in front of it. The bowling was okay. The ice cream game just about the smallest ice cream i've ever seen and I don't know if that's because we had the wolves pass. The rope courses and the adventure thing was okay. The waterpark was packed, you could not go in the hot tub because there was too many people, the lazy river is very small, there was not a lot of tubes, so it took a really long time to get on the ride, the floors were absolutely disgusting. And i'm not so not sure if I'll be back

    Food from buffet
    B J.

    Breakfast buffet: It is $23 per adult and $13 per child. For 3 kids and 1 adult we paid $84 with tip. The waitress never told us the price and there are no menus available. Much of the food at the buffet was empty or almost empty and no one was rushing to fill them back up. She also never told us how to order an omelette and once we finally figured out how, it is a 15 minute wait per omelette (two omelettes took 30 minutes). The food (and service) was absolutely not worth the price. You are better off eating at Dunkin. Water park: The first day at the water park was just ok. It is very packed here and it's a Tuesday/Wednesday... I can't imagine if it were the weekend. The lazy river is a disappointment. It is very small and there are not many tubes available... maybe 20 tubes total are available. There are often so many people in it you're walking a lazy river and praying you don't get bumped into the rough walls since you don't have a tube. The outdoor hot springs is a hot tub. Not big enough for many people at all (although the sign says 25 people fit... that would be shoulder to shoulder). The wave pool is really the biggest attraction here, besides the water slides. Today is our second day here and the wave pool has been closed all day (it is currently 3:30pm). There is no update as to why it's closed or when it will be opened. So there are many kids just watching and waiting the whole time. There was a period earlier today where all the water slides were closed except for one, the lazy river was closed, and of course the wave pool never opened. So the kids sat around for a while waiting for something to open back up. The water slides rides are set up weird where the tubes are not next to it. Its a further distance to the stairs from where the tubes are stored. The kids will be waiting in line for a ride and suddenly they will close a ride while there is still a line with no information about why it's being closed or when it will reopen. This happened yesterday and today several times. It seems to be a shortage of staff to operate the rides... but that's a guess. Many staff members are very kind and helpful. But there are also a handful of staff that is very aggressive and unprofessional towards the children in the water park. My children who are 8, 10, and 16 rate the water park 2-3 stars and they all would prefer Kartrite even though there is no wave pool at Kartrite. Rooms: For being open so recently there is already a lot damaged items. Our toilet seat had only one clasp working so using the toilet meant the lid smacked you in the back and the seat moved around a lot. The toilet paper holder must have fallen off at some point before... there is exposed wall that has no paint where it must have been attached before. The tub does not hold water if you are trying to take a bath, the mechanism to hold the water in the tub was missing a rubber ring or something. There is no microwave in the rooms but there is one at the end of the hallway where the ice is.

    Spider bites from 8th floor hotel room at Great Wolf Lodge

    I'm posting this because after countless emails and phone calls, with zero callbacks or responses from Great Wolf Lodge or their manager- Abu, I am honestly stunned by the lack of professionalism and basic human decency. My family and I stayed at Great Wolf Lodge over April break. In the middle of the night, I woke up because my hand was itchy and burning. At first, I thought maybe I had been bitten by mosquitoes several times overnight which would be strange for this time of year. We checked out the next morning, but throughout the day my hand, arm, neck, and back continued to swell where these bites appeared, so I went to urgent care. I was told I had been bitten overnight by a spider approximately 12 times while staying on the eighth floor of their new location. I had an allergic reaction and was prescribed 10 days of steroids and antibiotics. Extremely painful, itchy, uncomfortable! Despite providing the company and management with photographs, urgent care documentation, and prescription information, they have yet to respond to any of my calls, messages, or emails. What if this had happened to one of my children? That is why I'm posting this: stay away.

    No complaints here. Nice sized waterpark. Clean. Friendly staff. There was issue with our food orders not showing up on when I ordered thru the app but I got my food so no biggie. Prices are high go when there's a deal .... All the activities in the main area are free. Meet and greets arts and crafts dance parties etc..

    Wow, just so pleased with how clean every area that we visited was as clean as it was. This location opened recently so it has that new vibe feel. Our room was equally as orderly and clean. A small fridge included, wish there had been a microwave in room instead of having to find a common area. The pizza... really good! Felipe very much recommend it, all I ordered was a cheese pie but damn it was delish. I didn't have much interaction with staff because sadly everything is touchscreen and technology. I will add, check in needs a bit of work. A bit of a long line when checking in with children & luggage. I didn't want to be rude to the attendant but I wasn't interested in the long options of upgrading. Maybe a sheet in the room to let you peruse at your pace. I also don't like how the self check in kiosk is only for those that pay for parking out front. With the amount of money that is spent all over the premises, not including the lodging fee, I should be able to park out front for no charge. Not sure why your venue then charges a parking fee. Another location never did, and now do also. For your own property. You're not sharing with anyone. That should be looked into changing. So because we parked in the Rainmaker lot, we couldn't use the kiosks that sat empty the whole time I was in line and checking in. I would have given a 5 star but the length of check in time and bit of chaos with everyone knocked it down and the issue with parking, $25 to park at your facility is not cool with me.

    This was our first time at a Great Wolf Lodge. Overall we had a good time. Pros: - you can park at Foxwoods on the rainmaker side for free and just walk over -The rooms were clean and spacious. - The water parks were actually really fun and adults can have fun too! - the farmhouse pizza was delicious! - friendly staff - packed with things to do - check out process was a breeze Cons: - the check in process could definitely be better. I understand the volume of people will always make a line. But it seemed like they only allow people who used the Great wolf Lodge parking space to be the ones who can use the kiosk to easily check in. And those who parked elsewhere had to stay in the long check in lines. - they use carpets in the lodging hall which I think is a bad idea. It smells like damp feet. Overall, we would come back!

    I have mixed reviews on my experience at Great Wolf Lodge. The good: It's brand new so it felt very clean to me. The rooms especially! My son loved his little wolf den bunk beds in the room. The water park was crowded but he had an amazing time. Every employee we encountered was friendly and seemed genuinely willing to help. The bad: I waited in line at check-in for 40 minutes after I had already checked in. The self-check-in kiosks are great to skip the line, but you can't get your wolf pass or any add on pass you may have purchased there. Not sure if the front desk was understaffed or all just still learning, but it was pretty wild and painfully slow. We paid for late check out, but after trekking to our room, our wristbands stopped working after the standard check-out time. The buffet for breakfast was also messy. If you get there after 8:30 prepare for a wild line. We were there before then so got seated quickly, but I ordered an omelet. The omelet came out after my husband and son were already done eating. If they are offering that, they definitely need to better staff that option. And lastly the whole place is a money grab. When you get the pass you think you are good, but then there are all sorts of upgrades. Like no child I was with went with the included Magicquest wand, the gem mining isn't included, and all they had was 10 pound bags in stock for like $35. Don't even get me started on how much we spent at the arcade, they could definitely make those games cheaper. We stayed one night and had to pay $50 in parking. Will I go back, most likely yes, since my son loved it and it is pretty close to us. You just have to go in prepared to wait and spend a lot of money.

    This was our first time at a great wolf lodge and to top it off, this is their newest location! I did like that everything was there, the hotel, the water park, the mini golf, bowling for kids, rope course, the magiquest, and dining options. We stayed at a family suite which was a pretty sizeable room with 2 queen size beds. The rooms were big, the beds were comfortable, and the cleaning staff was always very attentive. 5 stars for the room. There's many activities throughout the day, so make sure you check the lobby area, or download the great wolf lodge app for up to date activities. The waterpark itself was overall fun, but the temperature was not 84 degrees, which is what they advertised, that its 84 degrees year round. My hotel room was set to 74, and it felt only slightly warmer than that. When you enter the water, it gets pretty cold fast. My 2 kids after 30 minutes their lips were blue. This part was disappointing because you come here for a waterpark, but because it's so cold, you cant stay in the waterpark area for more than 1.5 to 2 hrs. There's a restaurant there that creates this wind tunnel and that could be the reason why the waterpark is so cold. There were also other families that stated it was too cold in the water, and their kids' lips were also blue. The kids had fun overall, and we look forward to coming back. We hope the temperature of the water will improve by then.

    Room - The image shows a hotel room with a neatly made bed that has white linens and three pillows. The bed has a wooden headboard, and above it, there are three framed pictures of animals with plaid or patterned silhouettes: a bear, a deer, and a wolf, arranged in a row on a green wall. On each side of the bed, there are wall-mounted lamps providing warm lighting. Small bedside tables are visible, with one holding a telephone and a clock. The room has a cozy, rustic decor style.

    Haven't arrived yet and there have been so many issues, I paid for the whole trip in advance... I called because I received an email that my balance was due in full, they explained no and they then convinced me to book a cabana and get 2 passes for my kids bc they said it wouldn't be as easy to get them there and it would save me time... then I get an email that I owe $600 (doesn't even add up with the $140 passes and $150 left on the cabana) they gaslit me and told me that's its taxes on my whole stay... I have a screenshot of me paying taxes when I booked my reservation). Fast forward to today, I get an email saying my total balance is now higher and it's missing a package and nothing has been paid. I also emailed them the screenshots during one of the previous calls... today in the chat the person closes is out when I asked for a breakdown of charges/fess due bc it is not adding up. I call, and again it's me not them and they tell me that it's probably this or that and that it's bc I added things after making my reservation. We make it to check in and thankfully Chrissy and Avery were amazing, we got the wrong passes but came down and they fixed it. Food made me want to cry , we ate at the hungry wolf food hall and our order was wrong I came to this restaurant for the hot dog on a stick bc in Venice/LA/SD it's the place to get lemonade and guess what... no lemonade here just a slushie lemonade. $100 for food that's worse than gas station food is disappointing. I hope the rest of the stay is better...

    Magical! - The image shows an indoor space decorated with large artificial trees with illuminated green and blue lights on the ceiling, creating a canopy effect. There are several people walking, sitting, and standing, with some near tables and chairs. The environment appears to be a themed attraction or entertainment venue, with a sign indicating a restaurant or food area. The lighting and decor suggest a festive or immersive atmosphere.

    I had a BLAST here for my daughter's birthday! We've gone to the Fitchburg location the last two birthdays and decided to give this one a try. At both locations we did the bunk suites. While identical, Foxwoods did not have the separate TV for the kid's room. What I liked about the Foxwoods location as opposed to Fitchburg is that it was a single waterpark instead of two separate rooms. We all know once you get settled in one area- kids AUTOMATICALLY decide they need to be on the other side instead. While I do feel like the Fitchburg location is larger- the Foxwoods location seems to have built UP instead of out, resulting in epic waterslides, fewer steps for MagiQuest, and a sweet aerial course compared with the other location. We did get the Wolf Pass this time, which was absolutely worth every penny. It included almost all of the attractions so you can have fun without having to shell out as much. Because the attractions can get pricey individually. Additionally, you'll get extra perks like discounts at Build-a-Bear (which we did), the Gem Mining Company and a few other things. We ate mainly the fast stuff at Hungry Like a Wolf (because the wings were BOMB). We also ventured out to the casino and Mystic Pizza (a local staple and legendary location of the movie. FANTASTIC food). Overall? We will be returning next year to this location. Just be aware- they nickel and dime for everything. Parking? $25 PER DAY. Really? Especially when you can just park at the Rainmaker Garage and take the shuttle over for FREE. Great location. MAGICAL experience for the kids. Highly recommend!

    We loved our stay here! Tons of free included activities with your stay. The lobby story is SO worth staying up for! We also did the magic journey and beware it's like $50 a wand and then $17 to activate the game and it'll take 3 hours to complete (no I'm not being dramatic the guy told me it's walking 5miles). Get up early to go to the water park and then do the magic journey when you need a break from the water esp when it starts getting crowded. The rooms were clean and cozy the walls were thin. The location is great because the casino is right across the parking lot on the restaurant side. Check out the sugar factory while here it's great for the whole family :)

    See all

I thought all the dinosaurs were super impressive and love how they setup the whole walking trail. There is a ton of shade, so even if you go when it's super hot you'll be fine! I appreciate all the ferns that they planted around, makes it feel "authentic" with all the dinos. For my dino obsessed five year old he loved seeing all the variety of dinosaurs and even some more obscure ones that he knew and you never see at spots like this. They did a great job of putting some dinosaurs into "scenes" and simply showcasing others with facts and more info. My son isn't into splash pads, but that splash pad looked like a ton of fun. The climbing area was also huge and looked like fun. My five year old stuck to walking around and going through the maze 15 times. The maze is simple, but fun and a nice addition to the park. What I like about this park is it's great for kids of all ages! Probably from at least 3-10 and even older if your child is super into dinosaurs or you are an adult who loves dinos!

First off, charging $20 for parking is already frustrating--but what makes it worse is that they don't even check or monitor vehicles after charging you. It feels like an unnecessary fee with no real purpose. Then there's the water park. At around $100 per person, you'd expect a comfortable and enjoyable experience, but instead it was extremely overcrowded. It was hard to actually enjoy anything because of how packed everything was. The food is another issue--very overpriced for what you get. You end up spending way more than expected just to feed your family. One of the worst parts was the check-in process for the water park. We waited about 30 minutes just to get wristbands. That's unacceptable, especially when you've already paid so much. There should absolutely be a better system in place--like separate lines for hotel guests and day pass visitors to make things move faster. Overall, the experience did not match the price at all. Between the extra fees, long waits, and overcrowding, I don't think I will be going there again.

I took so many pictures of the clear river. It's seriously that stunning. The swimming water vanished. We hiked the Wadsworth Falls Loop (3.6 miles, easy, great waterfall views) and also checked out part of the Main Trail.

If you have the right footwear in winter, it's a place for a rewarding hike! Boots and grips and the occasional side stepping is good for your winter trip. Mind the tracks, or crews tending the still in-use tracks, then enjoy the lovely views of multiple waterfalls, some frosted over, but water audibly rushing beneath the ice. Starting out, we didn't see the blue trail marked on the yellow and orange junction map, but the trails were well-marked with vertical tree blazes, so if you take the orange, yellow, or blue trails, you should be in good shape. If you don't have the time for a decent hike and just need a restful stop, large falls are just below the parking lot (those no access signs on the trails don't kid!). All year, enjoy! There are zero facilities here, and the only amenities appear to be accessible recreation and a dog waste station beneath the parking lot, but you aren't in the middle of nowhere. Pack in, pack out, and enjoy as much or little woods as you like, and enjoy the peaceful sounds and sights of the many falls.
