Best Indoor Waterpark in Phoenix?- Our Stay at Great Wolf Lodge
Updated: Jan 12
When my large family travels anywhere overnight, A LOT of thought and planning has to first take place! However, when we were invited to stay at The Great Wolf Lodge in Scottsdale, AZ, we said "YES, please!" immediately with no hesitation and let me tell you why!
We first stayed at The Great Wolf Lodge in Scottsdale, AZ during their Grand Opening in 2019 and were hooked ever since. The hotel itself is beautiful and welcoming. The rooms are spacious and so unique, filled with fun characters and designed especially for kids and family fun. We've stayed on the ground level and higher levels all with great perks- ground we were super close to the parking lot, had a balcony we could walk out of, upper level floors have a great view!
It's fun fit for the whole family including Mom & Dad with all it has to offer including a huge indoor waterpark complete with a wave pool, waterslides, and kiddie section for the littles. This place also offers miniature golf, an arcade, The Magiquest interactive game, rock climbing, bowling, Build-a-Bear, Dunkin Donuts, a candy shop, Ben & Jerry's and SO MUCH MORE!
We keep going back because it can never get boring and we never run out of things to do..or EAT- I haven't even mentioned the many food options and bar with delicious signature drinks for us parents to really relax! The park offers different level passes with access to these amenities. We got the Wolf Pass which is the ultimate package! All of this is more than enough to bring parents and kids running to come visit, even now during such crazy times because Great Wolf Lodge has launched it's Paw Pledge Program.
The Paw Pledge Program, a health and safety initiative, was developed by medical experts and sanitization specialists and includes protocols for social distancing, wearing face coverings, limiting surface contact, disinfection of high-touch surfaces, and other precautions that meet or exceed CDC guidelines.
We felt safe and protected during our stay and had a blast celebrating Jada and Leo's 6th and 7th birthdays. **TIP: We rented a private cabana, which is a must and so worth it for us for privacy when feeding and changing the littles. Plan to stay the whole day as you have access the full next day to the waterpark regardless of checkout. Needless to say, we cannot wait to go back and have some more healthy and safe fun while we stay cool in this Arizona heat!
