Great Wolf Lodge, Kansas City, Kansas
As "there’s no place like home," you may want to make your homebase at this Great Wolf Lodge (800/608-WOLF (9653), the perfect-for-families blend of a wilderness retreat with the comfort of a four-star hotel. Capturing the atmosphere and adventure of the Northwoods, there are 281 family-sized suites that will work for a small family or groups of six.
Seven suite layouts provide various solutions to family togetherness, ranging from open plans with shared bedrooms to areas divided for privacy. Three themed suites, KidCabin, KidKamp, and Wolf Den, add to the fun. Each offers an in-suite private area for younger kids to experience a bunkhouse, a camping getaway or even sleeping in a wolf den. To further the adventure, bunk beds make kids feel like they’re in their very own suite. Most of the suites open onto sizeable decks or patios and include at least one 27" TV, a full size bath, refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. Cribs and rollaways are available.
The Lodge’s comfortable Grand Lobby with overstuffed furniture and tables and chairs, serves as the resorts’ “living room” where families and friends gather to play. The animated Great Clock Tower features an eight-minute “Rhythm of Nature” show three times daily, that keeps the little ones wide-eyed with wonder. Gathering at the base of the Clock Tower, they’re enchanted by the singing moose, owl, turtle, beaver, brown bear and trees.
After the 8 o’clock show, it’s storytime by the fireplace, which often looks like a pajama party, as the little ones wind down after an exhausting fun-filled day of play
Bear Track Landing, the lodge’s four story, 84°F/29°C indoor waterpark, is clearly the hallmark attraction, offering a total of eight waterslides including three kiddie slides. At the center, Fort Mackenzie, a four-story treehouse waterfort is interconnected with suspension bridges, cargo nets, web crawls and more then 60 guest activated water effects. Every few minutes, a 1,000-gallon bucket at the top of the 48-foot-tall structure fills with water, tips down and douses the entire fort and everyone gathered at the bottom.
Five pools also add to the indoor fun, and Cub Paw Pool beckons the youngest of thrill seekers with its zero-depth entry and kiddies interactive play toys, including a bucket dump factory, shootings jets and more. More than 45 lifeguards, all nationally certified, oversee the resort’s waterpark safety. Children under 48" and inexperienced swimmers are encouraged to wear Coast Guard-approved life vests that are available free of charge.
Kids love to take a break in Cub Club, the resort’s activity room led by Great Wolf Lodge’s Ambassador of Fun and mascots including Biko the Bear, Yellow Feather and Wiley the Wolf. For the older kids there’s an incredible indoor arcade and ticket redemption center for fun prizes.
