When we arrived, I was juggling a bunch of stuff and heard someone yelling from a house-like structure that we needed to pay. It was a little awkward since payment isn't collected near the entrance, but she apologized for shouting and explained they try to catch guests right away. Totally understood--and I had every intention to pay once I set our things down! The kids had a blast in the water and loved the volleyball net. We weren't thrilled about the ducks everywhere, but other families seemed to enjoy them. The snack shack had lunch options and snacks at reasonable prices. Just a heads-up: it's cash only for both admission and food. All in all, a great day outdoors with plenty of space and friendly vibes!

This was our second stay at Great Wolf Lodge in Perryville, and we had another great experience! We…read morevisited around this time last year with friends, and this time we came back with family. The biggest improvement from our first visit was check-in. Last year we waited close to 45 minutes, but this time it was quick and easy. There were self-service kiosks, staff available to help, and we were checked in with our wristbands and parking pass in no time. One thing Great Wolf Lodge absolutely gets right is communication. From the moment I booked until we checked out, they kept us informed with emails and text messages about our stay, FAQs, activity schedules, upgrades, and even notified us that the water park would open early at 9 a.m. instead of 11. During our stay, I could text their virtual assistant with questions and always received quick, helpful responses. It made everything so easy. The water park was a lot of fun, and I love that you can enjoy it both before your room is ready and after checking out. We arrived around lunchtime and were able to spend most of the afternoon at the water park, then returned again the next morning after checkout. One thing we were disappointed by was the bar area near the water park. We were told there were TVs there, and since the World Cup was on, we asked about watching the game while hanging out at the bar. Staff said they would try to get it on Fox, but unfortunately the TVs weren't working. It would have been nice to have the option to watch the World Cup there instead of having to go back to the room, and my brother ended up staying in the room to watch the game instead of spending time at the water park. We also had a disappointing experience with customer service at Barnwood, the on-site restaurant, during dinner the night before. I did leave a separate review for Barnwood specifically, but since it is on the property, I wanted to mention it here as part of our overall stay as well. Our favorite part of the trip was the Legend of Luna story time. It was interactive, magical, and beautifully done with special effects that made it feel immersive. My daughter loved it so much she wanted to watch it twice! There were also plenty of other family activities throughout the day, including dance parties, storytime yoga, MagiQuest, bowling, mini golf, ropes courses, mining activities, and more. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. Throughout the resort, the bathrooms were consistently clean, and I frequently saw staff actively cleaning. Housekeeping was also incredibly efficient--they were already preparing rooms right at checkout time. Every employee we interacted with was friendly and welcoming, and even other guests seemed to be in great spirits, which added to the overall atmosphere. Like most resorts, food and extras can get expensive. We decided to skip the breakfast buffet after taking a look and instead grabbed breakfast from the Dunkin' on-site, which worked out perfectly. Having that option was definitely a plus. The only real downside during our stay happened at the outdoor pool. Someone got sick in the water, and while staff removed the visible mess with a net, the pool remained open and guests were allowed to continue swimming. That didn't sit well with us, so we chose not to return to the outdoor pool for the rest of our visit. I also wish guests had the option to use a different payment method at the resort restaurants instead of automatically charging purchases to the card linked to the room. Those were relatively minor issues compared to everything else the resort offers. The water park, activities, clean facilities, excellent communication, and friendly staff made this a memorable family getaway. It's only a little over an hour from home, making it an easy overnight trip, and we'll definitely be back again.
