Great Wolf Lodge Niagara - Summer 2008 Review

Well, we did it. We went to Great Wolf for the second time.
The last time we went was 2 years ago and we noticed a few differences.
Here are our thoughts:
We went in July Sun to Tuesday. 2 nights in the hotel, 3 days at the waterpark
Arrival
Arrive as early as you can. Your room may not be ready but you can pick up your wristband, change into your bathing suits in their changeroom and use their free secure lockers.
Room - KidCamp suite with Balcony
The rooms was great, large clean, has fridge, microwave and coffee maker with comp coffee. No cream or milk, bring your own. Noise was not a factor at all. We had a view of the inner parking lot which wasn't great but we were never there anyway.
Evening Story time
8pm every night. If you have small kids this is great fun. Put them in their jammies and slippers and bring them to the lobby. Don't forget your cameras. It lasts about 30 mins.
Waterpark
Great as always and not too crowded at all. Bring your own colourful towels. It will make it easier to save yourself a lounger or chair especially at the outside pool.
Food
Way overpriced and not the best. I would stick to the outside BBQ area for most meals and for breakfast go to the Coffee shop just outside the waterpark for great muffind, croissants etc... Bring as many of your own snacks and drinks as possible. You aren't supposed to bring them into the waterpark or pool area but lots of people were and no one stopped them.
Staff
Friendly, friendly friendly. Amazing group and very kid oriented.
Mini Golf
Great fun, reasonably priced.
Overall
Watch for promos and deals, well worth the money and fun for the whole family.
