I think your kids would enjoy it, if they like hanging around together. My teens only like it when they go with friends. The buffet at the one we go to in PA is GROSS and expensive.
DEpends on the GWL.
There are 2 near us. One in Sandusky Ohio the other near Cincinnati Ohio.
The GWL in Sandusky is very small. Both my kids ( 10,15) would be bored in an hour.
The GWL in Cincinnati is much larger with better slides. They love the Mason Ohio location hands down.
Of course nothing beats Kalahari!
The GWL by us in the Dells is geared to younger kids, so we don't go there anymore.
Kalahari is our first choice.
Looks like they are opening a Kalahari in the Poconos next year. What do you prefer there over GWL? Just wondering what our options will be. Donna
Kalahari is simply put bigger and better and a more appealing theme to us (child is 10). They have a great area for the little ones but it seems like you could have at least 2 Great Wolf lodge water parks inside Kalahari. Kalahari does sell day passes and Great Wolf does not. At times school groups come but it has never bothered us
