Great Wolf Lodge is a luxurious resort with amenities aimed to please and activities that cater to children and adults alike. The lodge has multiple locations throughout the United States and Canada. Great Wolf Lodge introduced the first indoor water park to Virginia, in the historic city of Williamsburg. The water park is themed in conjunction with the lodge, with area names such as Raccoon Lagoon, Howlin' Tornado, Beaver Tail Lake and Wolf Rider Wipe-Out.
The park offers a range of activities for all ages. There are hot tubs and tall tower slides along with kiddie slides and pools. There is an agility course designed for kids that requires balance while jumping back and forth on floating lily pads. Most activities require the participant to be at least 48 inches tall; however, many activities allow participants under that height if they are accompanied by an adult. The water park is clean and inviting.
