    We had a blast! My 4.5 and 2 yr olds tried the skye tykes. I love how they still suited them up in…read morea harness and made them feel like it was the real deal. My two year old was scared once he got on it and the attendant was so patient getting him down amidst his meltdown.

    Suppose you've been at the indoor water park at Great Wolf Lodge for 2 full days and you are ready…read morefor a different, less soggy activity. The weather outside is a gorgeous, sunny, breezy 65 degrees. You don't mind spending $13 per person to balance on tightropes 5 stories up in the air. Now is the perfect time to conquer Howler's Peak. Our group of 3 went out around 2pm on a fall weekday when most kids are in school, so we had no wait at all. The staff quickly helped us get harnessed up, then we were attached to the safety track snaking throughout the course and set free to roam at will. From the ground, it doesn't seem too tough. You can see that many of the paths look like sturdy wooden-looking ladders on their sides, with plenty of stable foot landings and hand-holds for your crossing. However, once you climb up the stairs to each level, you realize that many paths you must cross are only rope, or with large breaks between tiny foot holds, and few or no handholds. The wind feels stronger up there, balancing takes more effort, and everything seems to sway a bit. Even though you know that there is no way the safety harness can let you fall, it is quite a feat to overcome your brain's message to your body, "Hey, dummy, you're about to plummet to your death!" After going around the 2nd and 3rd stories, including 2 thrilling zip line paths, my 8 year old had had enough. He was ready to get his feet back down on the ground, but I knew it was my duty to continue on. I had to show him (and myself) that even though I was nervous, I was not going to quit until I reached the top. From 30 feet to 40 feet to 50 feet I climbed, as a crisscrossed my way around the course. My goal was the top southwest corner of the structure, where I'd jump down to the ground. I've never been interested in bungee jumping elsewhere, as I question the safety & maintenance of the equipment & training of the staff at most of those tourist trap, beach town places. However, the staff & equipment at this attraction made me feel that risk was minimal. Once I made it to the prep station, my harness was transferred to the pulley system and throrough safety check was done. At that point, I just had to make my legs walk off the end of the platform. Wheeeeeeeeee! I'm probably not going to start base jumping any time soon, but man, that was fun. I'll definitely be coming back to do this again the next time I'm visiting Great Wolf. By the way, even if you aren't a guest of the hotel, you can experience Howler's Peak for $25. Closed-toe shoes are required, and I recommend that long hair be secured and sunglasses worn if it's daytime. For little kids under 48 inches, there is a smaller version of the course on the ground, with a smaller fee and no harness required.

    I've been to huge aquariums before, but this one is the perfect size for my little toddler. He was…read morevery enthusiastic, walking around and looking at every tank, then quickly tired out. I love the round tanks because that allows for multiple families to see the same fishes without having to wait for each other. We saw sharks, turtles, pufferfishes, lionfishes, eels, seahorses, jellyfishes, and much more. Our favorite part was the fish tunnels - you can see fishes swimming all around you, including at the bottom of your feet. They kept the glass pretty clean, so you can see everything clearly. FYI: There's no opportunity to pet any of the marine creatures. They have hand sanitizer dispensers throughout to promote hand hygiene. The place is located in the mall next to Legoland. I would purchase tickets ahead of time to save money. It can get pretty stuffy and crowded on the weekends, so timing matters if you're looking for a more comfortable experience.

    So from the outside this place doesn't look like much, but I do think it was worth a view…read more I don't know if I would pay twenty dollars however, we did do a ten dollar upgrade after going to lego land and that's why I felt like it was worth it even more. Parking, so this is in the mall so you're gonna expect to find the same parking.You're going to find with mall parking. What to see: so this place is deceiving when we first walked in. I kind of thought it was going to be a scamp and I was pleased to see that there was multiple different fish tanks and they seemed like they were all in good repair. There was a turtle area as well. That I thought was pretty cool but only half worked. Anyway, we were having a good time and it was not very crowded.But there was one family that just allowed three screaming.Children to go through and we had to wait in order to let them get far enough ahead because of how disruptive they were. The one gripe I would say is the staff didn't seem to care even though the signs on all the fish tanks indicate to be quiet and not do flashes with cameras... Facilities: they had a gift shop which wasn't too expensive.But we did not end up buying anything, and we did need to use the bathroom upstairs.They were kind enough to let us back in when my son realized a second that we walked outside that he had to go potty. Anyway overall I'm glad that we went.
