    Family suite
    Michael S.

    I recently visited Great Wolf in Webster TX fir a work-related meeting. The facility is nice overall but not what I would have chosen for a conference setting...but that's not the hotel's fault. Front desk service was quick and friendly. My room was clean and comfortable though calling it a "family suite" is a stretch for two queen beds and a table sitting area. I greatly appreciated having a small fridge in the room. Great Wolf is basically a large hotel centered around an indoor water park with a family friendly design--tile , not carpet in my room as an example. The hotel uses wristbands instead of keys for access control, which makes a ton of sense given the family orientation. Some minor downsides: this particular location sits off by itself. If you want to do anything away from the hotel you'll need to drive. In keeping with the family environment the lone restaurant/bar closes at 10 though the hotel "store" does have a small but decent selection of adult beverages and other snacks. Overall, nice spot for a family vacation. Clean and well-maintained.

    This by far is the WORST GREAT WOLF LODGE I've been too!! From complications at check in, to me leaving then coming back after a call from corporate AND THEN WAITING OVER AN HOUR AND 30 minutes for a manager to rectify, to the fridge not working, correct towels in the bathroom. The machine to bring the floats up for a slide stopped working TWICE while we were in line. If negative 5 stars was an option then that would be my review. However...Corey and the pre-med student whose name may be Aiden, lifeguards and shop workers were amazing.

    I am actually surprised about the ratings of this place. I thought it was overall a great option for a family fun spot. Compared to the Grapevine location, it's about 2/3 as big, but it does the job. This facility is one of the newest ones so the technology is more advanced. The nightly ending show for the kids is surround sound and effects, with even "snow" (bubbles) to end the show. Otherwise all the other events during the days are the same: craft, story time, photo ops with the characters, dance parties, balloon animals. Drop offs at the roundabout, free. Parking is $19 per day with in/out privileges. Just scan your wristbands in and out. Like all the other locations, the wrist bands allow you to navigate through the hotel: unlock rooms, check out towels, pay for meals, etc. Staff was kind and courteous. Free wolf ears for guests. Park and hotel rooms are clean. Food courts available both in and outside of the water park. Plenty of places to eat completely out of the location if you want to take a drive. The park/hotel itself is located in a great area for food and shopping. We would definitely add this into our rotations of things to do. Great fun for the whole family!

    A little on the fence. Loved that this location is still fairly new. Not a lot of food options like the one in Grapevine within the lodge. Also, noticed that on one of the nights both areas serving soft serve the machines weren't working right tried again the next day the same issue. The buffet was out of drinks and coffee on one end of the buffet area, had to go to the other side to get coffee and drinks. I loved the Fire Side restaurant food never disappointed. Alcoholic Drinks were always good but pricey. Our kids still enjoyed the waterpark, did all the slides and called it a day. They loved bowling and the arcade as well. We love the atmosphere and the fact they have events and activities through out the day. Rooms were clean, could use a microwave to reheat to go orders. Staff were friendly. Definitely worth coming for your little ones to take part in Magic Quest. The outside also had a nice walking area. It was nice to step out every now and then.

    We came here for the summertime with the kids and it was great. I was tired, but the kids was happy to see the waterpark all the games the adventures. Everything was great about the location the Staff great hospitality.

    Nice schedule daily to keep kids entertained

    Great Wolf Lodge was a nice, quick getaway close to home and overall a fun experience for our family. I really appreciated that they offer a daily activity schedule for kids, it made planning the day easy. Our favorite activity was the morning yoga, which was a great way to start the day. The customer service on-site was strong. When our room wasn't warm enough, maintenance came up within minutes to fix it. When I needed extra towels, they were delivered quickly with no hassle. That level of responsiveness definitely stood out. The downsides are mostly around cost and communication. Expenses can add up fast between attractions and hotel amenities. I was also frustrated that the 800 number gave different information than the front desk. I was told ahead of time that parking would be free, but I was charged at checkout. I was also told an upgraded room would be available, but that didn't happen at check-in. Aside from those issues, if you're in Houston or a nearby city, this is still a fun, convenient getaway for families--just go in knowing to double-check pricing and policies ahead of time.

    This was almost $20 with tip. It was tasty though.

    We enjoyed our time here. I have a little one so it bring small was not a downside. The water was warm and we enjoyed our time in the park. The free activities are fun for small kids. The food is expensive so we ordered in or picked something up. I wish they had another option for breakfast though. It's either buffet or dunkin donuts. They do have a sales pitch while you're there for Hilton vacations. But the guy wasn't too pushy.

    this person is going in the water and they're at the Grove flush because they just got off the slide

    these are the great flash pictures and yeah, it's for kids and anybody else for teenagers and everybody and it's for people have fun. There's a shop there. There's a lot of stuff there.

    Everytime you think about going to great wolf lodge, go to kalahari. Its so small there was POOP on the floor in the water park I hated it

    We had such a great time at Great Wolf Lodge! Before I get into the whole experience, I want to mention how thoughtful it is to have this facility be Tree Nut and Peanut FREE!!! We told out daughter and she was so appreciative that she could have the ice cream and other treats around the property without having to worry about using her EpiPen. Once we arrived, there was a bit of a wait. I am not sure if there are options for online check-in but they should probably look into it. We arrived about 3:30 and didn't get to the front of the line until after 4:15. That's pretty wild . . .however, everything after this was up and up. All of the rides and activities are totally catered to kids! While my kids are strong swimmers, parents don't really have to worry about deep water unless they go too far into the wave pool. Our favorite ride was of course the River Run Canyon because all 4 of us got to enjoy it together. 5 people can fit though. The hotel room was very spacious...I was glad because some hotels are cramped however...the bathroom could be better! Overall...it was a good time! Don't forget the morning yoga routines and the dance parties at night!!!

    We were a party of 5 adults and 2 kids. We stayed in the Grizzly Bear suite. The suite came with 1 king size bed, 2 queen size, and one full size (the couch pulls out into a bed). There were 2 bathrooms with showers, a mini fridge, and 3 TVs. The room was very clean when we arrived. There is a microwave in the ice room although they could have put a microwave into the suite. Check-in is through a self check-in kiosk. There are luggage carts available to help you move your belongings to your room easier. Employees were very welcoming and attentive. There is food available in the water park /MagiQuest/ropes course area, but there are restaurants within a 5-10 min drive. I recommend just eating at nearby restaurants instead of at the resort, at least the quality will be better. There is an indoor water park and outdoor water park. Outdoor water park was unavailable when we were there. You'll find a family friendly wave pool that isn't deep, a lazy river, and a good amount of slides for both kids and adults. For teens/adults I recommend going on the Alberta Falls, two body slides (High Paw Roller), and Texas Twirler (there are two different ones. The longer line on the left is more intense with a drop. The right one is more tame). Also, they don't have Forest Flume yet. I still think it's weird to see full grown adults swim with street clothes on (shirts) at the indoor water park. Parking is a nightmare. You'll be driving around searching for a closer spot. That wristband you have, wear it on your left wrist. You'll need it to scan to get into the room as well as leaving the parking lot (if you decide to eat elsewhere or shop). Overall, it's about 3 out of 5. The suites could have been designed better with a microwave, parking is a mess, and prices are expensive for an overnight stay.

    This was our first Great Wolf experience. While there were some Pros, overall we were unimpressed. Coming here for the 1st time seemed confusing. Ultimately, this is a money grab. During spring break, a friend said they were going to come here for a waterpark day pass. I checked the prices and it was a whopping $100 per day during the week, $110pp on Friday and an astonishing $150pp on Saturday. There was NO WAY we were going to pay $500-$750 for our family to come here for a day. I then noticed an advertisement on their website for 40% off room rates (which include waterpark passes) so I checked a Thursday to Friday stay and was blown away at the $285 cost! We quickly booked a room (with added taxes and resort fees) and paid $375 for one night. (Still better than $500 for day passes). I downloaded the app so my reservation was easily accessible. The day before the trip, I checked the app for my reservation and it said I didn't have one. I freaked out a bit and called and the girl eventually found my reservation. No idea why I had 2 separate confirmation numbers. Frustrating. Check-in isn't until 4pm but a nice thing is that you're still able to go in the waterpark. We arrived around noon. We paid the $15 parking. (Parking is automatically added to your room charge but show proof you paid and they'll deduct it from your bill.) Building is beautiful and clean. Everything was really well done for the theme. There are a number of activities: high ropes course, mini golf, bowling, a playground. Unfortunately, they're all like $10+. (When booking the room I was asked if I wanted to add on these for an additional $350. No thanks. That's more than the room.) This is in addition to some wand activity that everyone was ga-ga for but seemed lame to us. (More of the money grab). Our oldest used $15 of her bday money to go on the ropes course. She enjoyed it. The waterpark was honestly unimpressive. There are 6 older kids/adult slides. Two 5-person slides, two 2-person slides and two single-person slides. Our first slide was one of the 5-person slides. While waiting behind the family in front of us, another group goes right past us... we comment on "line jumping" but apparently there are 2 separate lines despite no signage. The right side of the stairs is for the more tame slide and the left side (which we were in) took FOREVER. I would guess we waited 30-40 minutes. In addition, the lazy River was small and overcrowded. Wave pool was "meh." Our son spent most of the time in the basketball pool. The kid slides in the middle were ok. Lines no long. Like another reviewer said, the chlorine smell was overwhelming. I had the worst migraine in only my left eye on both days we were at the waterpark. My husband and I ended up laying outside on a lounge chair the whole 2nd day because we didn't want to be inside. Unfortunately again, the outdoor pool was not open. Despite the signs stating pool closed, we watched NUMEROUS people still go on. Hot tub was open and was PACKED. Ick. As for food: $18 burgers, $18 chicken fingers, pizzas for $25, soft pretzels $10. Kids meals for $11. When booking the room, offered the breakfast buffet for a whopping $90. (Egg prices are high but not THAT high.) No thanks, went out to eat aside from coffee and donuts for the kids at Dunkin in the morning. ($2/donut, coffee $4-5). Other confusing aspects: since check-in isn't assisted, we didn't know what our room we were in. Apparently we were texted it but since my phone was in a pool locker ($17 charge), we didn't see it. The girl at the desk was nice and told us. She also said to use our wristband for the parking. Unfortunately, our wristband didn't work at the parking kiosk and I had to go back to the front desk. Our room was ok. 2 queen beds and a pullout couch. Room was clean and comfortable but pretty bare bones. Wish they had a microwave in the room but I'm sure this is to encourage eating at their high-priced restaurants. All in all, I think this place is geared more towards little kids. Ours at 11, 9 and 8 seemed "too old" already. The kids had an ok time in the waterpark but even they weren't blown away. For $375 we got to go to the waterpark for 2 days (check-in day AND check-out day). This place is nice but just WAY too expensive with all the ads-ons. It was an experience but we're unsure if we will return again.

    We went here when they were first opened so everything was brand spanking new and it was great. The Dallas location is so old and needs renovating so this was a refreshing stay. We stayed Friday-Sunday in a themed room. Check-in was super easy, parking was okay. The waterpark was clean, no water slides outside (just pool with water activities for kiddos and the hot tub area), and the restaurants were very clean and easy to get to. Gabe was the breakfast buffet. Everything closed early so we didn't get ice cream from the shop but Dunkin' was easy to get through the app in the mornings. Love the amenities and how easy it is to get here and everything around the Webster area.

    Is the only hot tub there outside? Or is there one indoors as well? Also, we were under the impression there is a water coaster there, but we aren't finding any concrete evidence that there is a water coaster, can someone clarify this for us?

    There is only 1 hot tub & it's outside. No, there is no water coaster there.

While the lagoon itself is nice, it didn't quite live up to what we had envisioned. It felt more like a very upscale neighborhood pool with some fun features -- which would've been fine had we gone in with that mindset. The atmosphere was more of a party vibe -- loud, crowded, and high-energy -- which wasn't what we were personally looking for. I had hoped for a more relaxing experience, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Considering the price, I didn't feel it was worth the cost. The cabana rentals were surprisingly expensive -- even more than what we've paid at actual beaches, like in Cozumel. The highway visible in the background also took away from the overall ambiance. In the end, it just wasn't the right fit for our family. For the price, I'd prefer a beach day or a quieter pool where we can truly unwind.

The crowd was mostly families, but you could go as an adult group or even solo. Glad they have a pretty large parking lot, so no stress on that. Came here for the first time on a bright Saturday AM at about 9:50a. Place opens at 10a. Come earlier than that, because others do too, and the line moved a little slow. They have a bag check you have to pass through first. Then you get back in line and go to the window, show your ticket, and/or buy your ticket. Then get your wristband. And then walk in. So you can only bring in what they allow, boooo, check their website for what they allow and dont allow before going. But I will say, the bag check was kind of light, IYKYK. Agree that the best move is to come early to snag a lounge chair with an umbrella. Umbrellas seem to be few and far between, but if you get there early, you should be able to get one. It doesn't seem worth it to rent the expensive cabanas, even with a group. We saw some groups doing it, not sure if they actually had paid the $300 fee, or were just squatting there until they got caught. I liked that they had a bar with some beer/cocktail options, so they place is adult friendly and kid friendly, lol. They have a food menu too, since you can't bring in food. I didn't order anything, but my friend really enjoyed her burger. They also had a few food trucks as well. That day, they were actually having a Pirates and Mermaids themed day. There was a Pirate folk band playing on their mini stage for a few hours. After that, they had a good playlist jamming on the loud speaker. The actual pool of the lagoon is divided in half. One half is for people to swim. The other half is for the water equipment rentals like the kaiyaks etc. We got to enjoy some stand-up paddleboading. That was fun. The water equipment rental is for 30 min at a time. Besides the wild rowdy kids surrounding us, we had a fun experience.

The park recently changed ownership again, and it showed -- the staff was super friendly and courteous, but operations were still a bit uneven. Food service was slow, and a few areas seemed understaffed. One employee was literally running between two slides, and at another attraction with tubes, no one was stationed at the bottom to keep them circulating. Guests were holding onto tubes for repeat rides, which caused some frustration. We rented a cabana and bought fast passes. The cabana was comfortable, but with plenty of shaded picnic tables available, I'm not sure it justified the price. Same for the fast passes -- the crowds were light enough that we probably didn't need them. Next time, I would wait and gauge the crowds before buying. Bathrooms were impressively clean. Several rides were closed for maintenance, including Massiv, the park's signature attraction. Torrent River was advertised as a high‑thrill lazy river, but the wave maker was down, turning it into a very mellow float instead. Staff couldn't say whether the wave feature was being repaired or if it would return. A few areas looked worn and could use some attention, but nothing that ruined the day. Even with the hiccups, we still had a great time. There are plenty of fun rides, and we're hopeful the new operator can bring the park back to top‑tier condition.

A lot of the floats were losing air and the staff just took them back and didn't even offer to refill. A lot of the rides and entrances to the lazy River were closed. Kid pools were warm and dirty.

He definitely looked in need of medical attention and should have been dismissed from his shift.

However, I do wish they would put some temporary doggy bag stations since not everyone picked up after their dogs unfortunately. Tickets were $5 per dog and comes with a human ticket. Their check in process was quick, a waiver is required to be signed prior to entry. Parking was free and plenty, there were a fee concessions stands open offering funnel cakes, ice cream, fries and tots. I like how you can bring a reusable water bottle to refill using their drink station. My dog had a time running around and barking at everything. May return for future Bark N' Waves events.

    went here last year, and I noticed that the men's bathroom stalls across from the BBQ place had…read morebent slats so anyone could look in while you were changing or using the restroom. several of the rooms would not lock. people were peeking into the stalls and making comments. I decided not to change my clothes as I felt uncomfortable doing so. I told guest services and they said they would handle it. We came back today, and OMG, the same slats were bent and there were even more openings. people were peeking into the stalls and giggling and laughing. The doors would not lock, so people were opening the doors, exposing 8-12 year old boys to the crowds. finally, I managed to get into a stall, I am an adult, so I tried to change out of my bathing suit into my clothes. i turned away from the door and tried to hold the handle with my hand as the door would not lock. the kids outside the door were laughing as they could see my butt through the bent slats and they were laughing and making comments. and they kept trying to open the door, which I was trying to hold closed...... totally inappropriate. I told guest services and the girl said "ok, I will pass your comments on to management" and then went back to chatting with her friends. the other adults with me reported similar issues, being exposed as others opened doors that would not lock or comments from kids that were peering through the bent slats..... not ever going back here again. and if you go, I recommend you take a buddy to the bathroom to block the door and prevent others from peeking into and seeing you change clothes

    This place is HEAVEN SENT!! A double old school waterslide that is better than any waterslide or…read morewaterpark ANYWHERE!! The lines are almost non-existent, regardless of how busy it is. Not very places that will let you go down however you want. SO MUCH FUN!! We liked it just as much as the boys did. Worth $20/day for the kids to go. We had a cooler in our truck in the parking lot and went back for drinks. Food Truck on site and that was really good too!!! My boys loved the corny dogs and we liked our burger. Got snow cones on our way out. This was our boys (12, 10, 10) highlight of our 2 wk Galveston vacation. They loved it so much that we made the trek on the ferry a few times.

    A few years ago when I took my grandsons on vacation we stayed on the Bolivar peninsula because I…read moreknew the boys would enjoy riding the ferry and I figured that would give us more chances to do it.We went to the big store in Crystal Beach and I happened to notice the fun spot. We decided to give it a try. Initially I paid for an hour for each boy, But it didn't take long before I was going back and paying for the whole day! Every year since then the boys say that's the one place they really want to go. Management and staff are wonderful, friendly, helpful people. It's a win-win because the kids get to spend all day going down the waterslide and grandma gets to sit in the shade and read a book! LOL

    We booked extremely last minute & had the best time. Beautiful resort with great pools, nice rooms,…read moreand a delicious restaurant. We will book again!

    I had High hopes, however, it just wasn't the right fit for a family friendly vacation at that…read moreprice especially. What went well: - The grounds are well-kept. Service is friendly and pool restaurant good. The country club is in walking distance if you want golf or tennis. There are several pools. For families, the pool is THE activity and truly, the only activity. The woodlands lake is a 5 min drive so the trolly and pedal boats entertained us! It was fun. The breakfast was delicious. What was a disappointment: - total of 1 lifeguard for the entire pool area, which included three pools and a lazy river with a wave area. There is "swim at your own risk" signage, but that is NOT a family friendly environment. - there is a 1x/ day arts and crafts that you have to pay extra to do. - the other staff-led activities were bingo, movie by the pool, and karaoke. The staff was not energetic, smiling, or enthusiastic with the exception of the activities manager who led the water melon eating contest. - it rained for one of the afternoons so we all went into the conference center for games. Wow was that disappointing. The staff was sitting around at a table, no music, no explanation of the table games, not interacting with the guests. When asked they said "you can play whichever game you want, it's self service." My husband and I used our phones to at least put on music, we facilitated a game of tag, and several families had to escalate to the manager to setup the karaoke and popcorn machine because the staff in the room was literally sitting around sticking to a rigid schedule and telling us they can't set anything up until a certain time. Of course the manager said that is absolutely not true. - the staff didn't know how to work the projector for karaoke so the kids just used a laptop that the staff member had sitting on her lap. Minimal interaction etc. The events team staff (minus the supervisor) was really subpar. Easily made for a 2 rating for sure. If you want a true family getaway, the JW Marriott in San Antonio is far superior. Photo with my son and one of the disengaged staff members. I'll also say that, again, for this luxury price, the staff need branded sweaters not oversized personal apparel.
