Went early to beat lines, as it was my first time coming here. 9:30am it was when opening time was…read more10am. There were very few people ahead of me, so I was content. We came here this early to try and get a big locker. These jumbo lockers are a whopping $55. Once I got the locker, we wound up waiting for the Wave Pool to open. Not sure why, but when I realized why, I said it made sense. Instead of purchasing a locker, ppl ran to grab a beach chair (which there was plenty of) to lay their belongings there and cover it with a towel. Many ppl did this to avoid paying for a locker. Now, idk if I would try this, but I personally didn't see anyone going through anyone's belongings. The first ride we went on was the Colossal Curl. Now you see, I'm a thrill seeker. I've jumped out of a plane twice, gone ATV riding, rode in a chopper twice, and the list goes on, but this particular water ride, had my nerves in a mess when it was over. This ride almost made me think it was going to flip over. It def had me shaken, so yes, it was a great ride, so was Big Daddy Falls. Went on a few other rides, as well as, including kiddie rides with my 3yr old son. He was fearless, and wanted to get on all the big rides. I forgot the name of this mini water park for kids next to Big Daddy Falls, but there were so many kids shooting water at everyone that I had to sit down and recoup. It was like a water war zone LOL. Overall, great place to enjoy with family and friends. To the women wearing swimsuit thongs, come on, there's lots of kids around. Yall don't need to seek attention everywhere you go! Tip: If you have a water bottle from Busch Gardens, you can bring it to Water Country and pay just $4.99 for unlimited refills for the day!

We got to see a barrel being made, a cannon being fired (dry fired), a court session, and lots of buildings and other historical items.

Would be a great place for the family or yourself if you want a piece of Americas history.

From a historical perspective, this is a great place to visit. (5 Star) But I would have to say I…read morewas very disappointed in the visitor center. There's a lot of space and opportunity and they really miss the mark providing no real historical experience within the center itself. The outside structure of the visitor center is a C at Best. Gutters are falling off flashing is missing tiles need to be replaced. It's very tired compared to the visitor center down at Jamestown. I was disappointed that the plantation exhibit along the walkway looks to be overgrown and not often for public viewing. It used to be such a great experience to show what life was like for slaves and owners. The colonial town and structures were great to visit, but even several of those structures need more care... gardens and landscaping are mostly weeds and unkept. I would've thought the location would be in pristine condition. Getting ready to celebrate 250 years. (2 Star)

When you have a toddler that loves the water, you HAVE to take them to great wolf lodge! We've been…read morehere twice now in the last year. The first time was just a day pass in the afternoon which is a great deal if you don't want to stay the night. And most recently we stayed the night and had a great time! We booked the kid cabin suite which can accommodate up to 7 people but I think realistically and comfortably, it would be 5. It comes with balcony access, a pull out sofa bed, a queen size bed, a bunk bed, a full size bed and one bathroom. The room is fairly spacious but could use either a bigger table and or an addition half bath at least to accommodate up to 7 people. This was great for us as we had 4 adults and one toddler. There are quite a few attractions here besides the water park. They have a pretty extensive arcade, glow in the dark putt, bowling, story time for kids, ropes course, laser tag and multiple restaurants! Obviously their main attraction is their huge indoor water park! They have things for babies to adults to try here! But I would say their main water attractions are geared more for small babies to middle schoolers. There are multiple water slides for all ages and there's a HUGE bucket of water that dumps about 1,000 gallons of water every 5 mins! Pretty cool! We added on the breakfast buffet for which I would highly recommend. This isn't your typical hotel breakfast! Their offerings were pretty vast and even included a MTO omelette station! If you want to entertain your kiddos, look no further than great wolf lodge for all your entertainment needs! SN: everyone gets a wristband to wear which grants you access to the water park BUT you can also use it to charge purchases to the room AND serves as you room key! Pretty cool!!

I'm so, so disappointed. At this price point I was expecting clean rooms at minimum. By the end of…read morethe first day (I'm still here, unfortunately) my feet were filthy. My sheets had dirt or sand on them. The "crafts" for kids, is crayons and a coloring page each time. Everything is so expensive here, that it reminds me of Vegas hotels. A single candy bar was 8.00. The buffet was actually pretty good but the restaurants are awful. Every attraction is designed so it is cost prohibitive unless you spend a ton on unlimited passes. I paid 24.00 to pay one fast round if laser tag with my 2 kids and myself. I called to ask for trash pickup and towels and ai said someone would be up "immediately." An hour later and no one came. I searched the internet for the front desk number (there is no lodge info at all in the rooms) and got voicemail so I left a message. Still waiting to see if they're going to come. Parking is somehow 20.00 a day. We have a handicap placard and there were very, very few handicap spots, we never got one and ended up having to park on the opposite end of the lodge every time, with an Autisic kiddo at risk elopement. The noise. Yes, it's for families. Kids are loud. But, who are these purely that are letting their kids run up and down the hall screaming every night. It's not just the kids, the adults are busy yelling at the kids to slow down. I've gotten so little sleep because it's so loud all the time. I will not be back. It cost my family of 6 far less to rent a 6 bed 4 bath oceanfront house in NC. Oh, and something I saw mentioned a lot- one of our adjoining rooms wasn't ready when we arrived. We arrived at about 4:15 and check in was at 4. It wasn't ready until 5. Not a huge deal for us if everything else had been cool, but it's just another thing in the list I saw mentioned a lot. It gets 2 stars instead of 1 because 1. The staff that I encountered was nice. 2. It's nice to find a place big enough for all of us. 3. The kids like the water park- it's a good size, but not big enough to justify the price.

Which is kind of like a historical landmark just for coasters. I know that makes it a draw, but for some reason I don't see it for this ride. You can tell that it is a ride that has been here for a while. It feels dated and I do not think that it was a smooth ride in the least. I came off of here feeling like I had gotten out of bed the wrong way in the morning. Yes, I am currently at that age. What is impressive is the two loops that appear to be interlocked. It's always fun to be zooming upside down. To have two of those, it made the ride not so bad, but not so great either. I do appreciate how they actually included water into the theme. It would have been a little dull if they didn't have it going at least near the water. For a good portion you are going up and down over the water. I mean, this is the Loch Ness Monster...at least it didn't ask me for $3.50...

There is no admission, you pay by the ride OR you can get a ride pass that provides you with unlimited rides (except the arcade). They have go karts for kids and adults, bumper cars, a ride where you get in an inflatable "kart" and bump others and shoot water, a ride called the " Disk'O" where you sit and it twirls you around while you go back and forth on a ramp, and they have a playground area for the kids. They have this mini coaster called "Python Pit", and you have been warned . They were in the process of expanding the area to include what looked like a multi- ramp go kart ride. There is a snack bar, but it closed around 7p (but the park stayed opened to 9 ) and the vending machines weren't working. Had to take a star off for that. (Free water was provided). They had plenty of benches (some covered) for you to sit and observe (as I did) and a covered pavilion with tables and benches for you to host a party. All in all, it was okay, but they need to keep the snack bar open until at least 30 minutes before closing AND please fix the busted vending machines!

Tables are routinely "claimed" with food and personal items even when nobody is sitting there, and seats are seemingly reserved for people who aren't even present. As a paying customer, it's frustrating to walk into a public business and feel like you're intruding on someone else's members-only space. The culture here has become so cliquish and inhospitable that it resembles a VFW or Lions Club more than a community brewery. Instead of being greeted by an inviting environment, newcomers are left feeling like outsiders who don't belong. What's especially telling is that this reputation apparently extends beyond this brewery. I've spoken with patrons and employees at other local breweries who immediately knew which place I was talking about and laughed knowingly about the "regulars running the place" and the unwelcoming atmosphere they've created. Breweries thrive when they foster community and make everyone feel welcome. Unfortunately, this one seems to have allowed a small group of regulars to dominate the space and dictate the culture, creating an environment that discourages new and returning customers alike.
