    Breakfast buffet

    We did an overnight at Great Wolf Lodge for the first time and it was overall a great experience. I appreciate having the waterpark included the day of check in even before your room is ready. Also love the self check-in kiosk and the wristbands that are your passes for everything. It was really nice not carrying a key card around! It was nice to get a text message when the room was ready too! Don't understand the $20 overnight parking fee but at least it had in out privileges. It was hard to find some seats the first day at the water park but we eventually found some. You can check out towels using your wristband, but don't forget to turn them back in, otherwise you'll incur a $15 fee. I also appreciated that they had complimentary water diapers. My toddler had an absolute blast at the water park. She loved the wave pool and the slides in the toddler area. The room was very nice. It was clean, well maintained, and very spacious. We went out for dinner because the food was prices here are actually very expensive as you'll see in the menus I posted. Food doesn't have to be that expensive. I did add breakfast on when I was making my reservation and it was one of the best breakfast buffets we had. So many options like an omelette bar, breakfast meats, waffle bar, yogurt and fruit, and even some kid friendly options. Really enjoyed breakfast. It starts at 7:30am and you can go back anytime until they close at 11am. There are a lot of add-ons which again, are super expensive. Bowling, mini golf, build a bear. I guess if you're coming from out of town that might be a fun option but we are local and it does not cost $50 to build a bear at the mall. We would bring my toddler back on a day pass because she loves the waterpark. Everything else is just so expensive.

    Stayed here as part of our trip to Scottsdale. Spent a couple nights with everyday filled with indoor and outdoor pool time. Much like any water park but the employees are fabulous. Not just one or two...all of them are friendly and helpful. Maybe something is in the water but I was continually amazed by the employees. Everyone does their jobs with attention to detail, especially the life guards. Cool place with lots of fun for everyone.

    Came here for a friend's birthday with a half-day pass. The half-day pass after 4pm was $45 instead of $60 (full day) but after the ridiculous "amenity fee" of $10 and taxes, it still ended up costing $60. On top of that? They ask for you to pay a $20 parking fee on their giant lot which had more than enough spaces. This place is pure greed. It's like an indoor Disney World and great for kids. It's just as expensive as Disney world too. If you are doing a staycation, this place is great as there is plenty of food and things to do inside. Would be great for Arizona summers. For adults? It's too expensive to justify the $60 each for 4 hours half-day pass. Be prepared to spend an arm and a leg for food, drinks, activities, and gifts here.

    Best indoor water park in town! We love to take the kids here pretty much all year long. My kids were bored this weekend so, on a whim we went to Great Wolf. We couldn't believe the pricing for the night, with two days at the water park.... Totally worth the value, and the kids had a blast! Both were asleep by 9:30pm lol. Drinks were on point, rooms are always so clean and spacious, and so many activities for the kiddos. Adults by the bar/ wake pool, kids on the slides all day, dance parties and shows at night.... Couldn't have asked for a better weekend. We love to be able to stay in town but still feel like we took a vacation, without driving hundreds of miles or spending thousands. Great Wolf killed it again with another amazing weekend!

    DO NOT STAY HERE. We stayed at Great Wolf Lodge in Phoenix expecting a fun, safe, family experience--and instead had one of the worst hotel experiences we've ever had. On the morning of April 16, 2026, while we were at the water park, $1,000 in cash was stolen directly out of my father's wallet inside our room. When we returned, the room had already been cleaned, meaning someone had accessed it during that time. We immediately reported this to the front desk and were told management would contact us. They never did. No follow-up. No concern. No accountability. Nothing. Let that sink in: a guest reports a $1,000 theft from inside their room, and the hotel's response is complete silence. What makes this even worse is how much money we spent to be there. This was a 3-day stay, and we even paid for cabanas for two of those days--which are incredibly expensive--because we wanted to enjoy the experience fully. Instead, we were left dealing with theft and zero support from the hotel. This all happened on my mom's birthday, which made the situation even more upsetting. What should have been a special family trip turned into stress and disappointment. And honestly, even outside of the theft, this place does not live up to its price tag: - Beds are uncomfortable - Pillows are cheap and low quality - Carpets are visibly dirty For what this resort charges, the conditions and service are unacceptable. Between the lack of security, zero communication from management, and overall poor quality, this was a complete waste of money. We will never be back--and I strongly recommend others think twice before booking here!

    First time here and we had a wonderful time. My 4 year old daughter and 18 month old son absolutely loved it. There really is so much to do that you never have to leave the property. The water park was great-- both kids loved it, lots to do, and my husband and I def appreciated the bar! In addition to the water park, the arcade, the restaurants, the shops, and the numerous activities kept us busy! And I feel like there was still so much more we could have done! While there are options on property for food, there are also so many excellent options very close by. Being in Scottsdale is a great perk of this place-- lots to do and see if you do want to explore beyond GWL. Also of note is the USS Arizona memorial right next to the hotel. It's lit up at night and is a beautiful tribute. Our room was great, very spacious and suited our needs perfectly. It was quiet at night and housekeeping responded quickly to any of our needs. Some of the only cons were that the check in line took a little while and that there was a bit of a BO stench upon exiting the elevator to our floor. Also be aware that they do charge a daily parking fee. Overall though, this place is a well oiled machine! We had so much fun and we definitely plan to return!

    Went on a howling adventure for my son's 10th birthday. It was just the two of us and we had a pretty good time over 3 days. They charge you for every single thing though! Wow! A lot of kids had banners on the room door for birthdays. I had put in the reservation we were celebrating a birthday, but we didn't get a banner so bummer. Parking is $15 per night. They have an AI conceiege so you can text your plate to them and they will track your LP number. Parking is not covered and it was quite busy on the weekend. Check in was easy with self check in. We had also purchased wolf passes which is extra for activities and such and didn't get the passes on check in with the self check in, which was a pain. We had to go back after to the front desk and stand in line anyway to get the passes. The room was clean and large. My son enjoyed the bunk bed and the TV inside the room. There was a refrigerator, plenty of towels and the bed was comfortable. Would have been perfect with a microwave. They allow you to order food on their app ahead of time so you can chill in your room or do activities while you wait for food, which is nice. If you purchase drinks you have to scan your cup before it will even pour, so don't expect to try to get a free refill. For the prices you would think they could give you a refill or at least some free soda or water in the room. The arcade was expensive, but clean and all the games worked well. They had attendants when needed and good prizes although be prepared for spend some money if you want to obtain said prizes. We completed the quest in about 4 hours over 2 days and it was fun, but omg the walking back and forth. My ankles are paying for it. It was fun, but with the technology now a days I feel like they can ramp this up a bit. The quest was my son's favorite part of the park, but he was a bit disappointed once it was done as he felt it was a bit boring and too easy. The water park was just ok. We only spent a few hours there. The wave pool was super crowded and the floating wave river was short. I think it's good for younger kids, maybe 5-7.

    Ok so I just left the Great wolf lodge in Scottsdale and thought I would give it a proper review. 10/10 recommend this resort if you have a family with kids. We are local to this location so we spur of the moment decided to go for the night. The price was great for our one night stay with 2 days in the water park. Cheaper than any other water park location for 4 people plus it had night stay at their hotel. I love the fact that you can use your wristband to pay for food/drinks, to get in/out of your room and in/out of the parking lot. The water pressure in the shower was GREAT and the water stayed hot the entire time. There was a blow dryer so that's a plus. A ton of activities throughout the day for the kids. And the room was clean as always. We will be back again the beginning of June for summer vacation!

    We had a blast at Great Wolf Lodge. I reserved about a month ago and used a promotion to save a little money. Four ladies, me, mom, sister and great niece who is two, went on this trip. Check in was via kiosk but I had to go to the counter and complete it and get my wristbands. Great thing is that for every room, you get the number of passes that the room accommodates. We reserved a patio room, 1107, and it was very spacious. It was an accessible room with a tub and shower. We spent $150 per night which was a steal. We had two queen beds and one pull out bed. The AC worked very well and the water was hot. The patio was open, no gates or anything which was a bummer but it was too chilly to sit out anyway. The water park was open 10am to 8pm daily and had a wide variety of slides, wave pool, kid activities and floats and towels were provided. The water was nice and warm as it was indoors. I didn't do any big rides but had my niece on any and every ride that her two year old self wanted to do. Plenty of seats and tons of food options throughout the park. Food: candy shop, ice cream, donut shop, pizza, sit down restaurant and they had a couple of bars that sold alcohol. They had an ice maker and microwave in the common area and the room had a mini refrigerator. They also had a ropes course, build a bear, bowling alley, magic quest and an arcade. If you download the app, you can see park times and activities. The resort is cashless. You can bring your own drinks and snacks or get them there. If you have a car, plenty of restaurants and stores within 3-5 miles- Walmart, Target, Albertsons, coffee shops. Please note: the Walmart and target are on tribal land so they do not sell wine or beer. But Albertsons does and it's about 4 miles away.

Secondly, I found that the sheets on the bed are all flat- (they don't use fitted sheets- and it was troublesome as they didn't stay covering the mattress the whole night. Thankfully I asked for help and housekeeping doubled up on sheets for me. Lastly, I noticed some small rocks in my room upon check in. Needed vacuuming longer. Besides that everything felt very clean and tended too!

    Castles N' Coasters - Desert Storm

    Castles N' Coasters

    So there we were, headed to Castles N' Coasters a wholesome amusement park in the desert... a place…read morefor families, laughter, and apparently, poor decision-making. Now my buddy this man reaches into his pocket and pulls out what I can only describe as a historical artifact. I'm talking a doobie so big it looked like Bob Marley himself rolled it during a greatest hits tour. I said, "Absolutely not. I am a grown man. I got responsibilities. I got a mortgage. I got snacks at home I haven't even finished yet." That didn't matter. Next thing I know, windows are up, car turns into a Dutch oven of bad decisions, and now I'm just along for the ride literally and spiritually. Somewhere between "this is a bad idea" and "why is everything funny," I lost control of the evening. We pull into the park around that magical time you know, that in-between hour... not quite day, not quite night... like God dimmed the lights and said, "Alright boys, let's see what happens." The whole place is glowing neon lights, arcade buzz, roller coasters rattling in the distance. Felt like walking into a carnival dream... or maybe a fever dream. Jury's still out. Now here's the thing about this place it's been around since the late '70s, sitting right there in Phoenix like a desert time capsule of fun. You got four roller coasters, including the Desert Storm, which sounds fun until you're on it reconsidering every life choice that led you there. Then there's the Patriot wooden, loud, and about as gentle as a bar fight. And somehow... SOMEHOW... we thought tequila beforehand was a good idea. So now we're buzzed, slightly baked against our will, and wandering this park like three philosophers who lost their notes. We're laughing at everything. Nothing's funny but everything's hilarious. A trash can? Comedy gold. A churro? Best thing I've ever eaten in my life. A child running past me? I'm emotionally invested in his journey. But I'll give credit where it's due the park itself? Clean. Staff's friendly. Nobody's judging three grown men giggling like idiots. It's got that old-school charm too arcades, mini golf, rides, the whole deal. You can bring a family here... or whatever version of a situation we were. Now the rides... oh, the rides. Let me tell you something nothing will make you rediscover fear like being slightly out of your mind on a roller coaster you thought you could handle. I got scared... not once... not twice... but a few times. The kind of scared where you start making promises to God you don't intend to keep. "I'll be a better man if I survive this drop..." Didn't mean a word of it. By the end of the night, we had the munchies, the laughs, and just enough dignity left to get back to the car without needing a group meeting. For a couple hours, though? We were kids again. No responsibilities. No stress. Just lights, noise, and pure, ridiculous fun. So yeah Castles N' Coasters might be a family amusement park... but under the right or completely wrong circumstances, it turns into one hell of a story. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Just... maybe crack a window on the way there.

    There's a couple machines upstairs that "ate our money". It's a play card with credits, but there…read moreare a couple times the games didn't let us play or credit us for a game. Also, the Simpsons machine doesn't let you play Lisa. it picks Bart if you select Lisa's button. Another machine is Zoltar downstairs. He only talks, but does not spit out a souvenir ticket. That one actually did eat my dollar. I guess it made up for it because a couple people abandoned their games downstairs in the middle, so the bf and I played for "free". It was on someone else's dime, but I guess that counts, too. We got nachos and drinks from the snack bar. Service was quick. As with any family fun event center, food was a bit overpriced. The female bathroom was nasty. I don't know how often they clean them, but there was paper all over the stall floor. The faucets had a lot of buildup on them. Both the male and female restrooms smelled funky. I didn't play at the putt putt section, but one day I'll be back to do that. Overall, a good arcade/food experience. I'd recommend this place to people. I cannot comment on any of the rides/attractions besides the arcade.
