Family fun awaits when you visit this water park just outside of Chicago! The Great Wolf Lodge has a wide variety of attractions for families of all ages!

Fort Mackenzie is a water treehouse that provides endless fun! Explore all the levels splash-crazy fun in the best water fort treehouse you’ve ever seen. Delight in the interactive water toys and kid-activated splash features. Escape via the Totem Tower body slides to start all over again. And listen for the bell; when it rings, the gigantic bucket on top is ready to tip!

Surf’s up! Catch a wave and splash and play as the swells sweep in from the five-foot deep end to the zero-depth-entry shallows. Wave pools are a fun family vacation favorite for kids of all ages. The rollers flow in every five minutes to lift and transport you on the surge of the ocean’s tide.

Throw away your troubles and dream a little dream as you float down the lazy river with your friends and family. Relax into a nice groove as you allow the gentle current to carry you along for as long as you like.

My personal favorite is the River Canyon Run! Gather your friends together for the twisting, gliding, raft-riding adventure of your life! River Canyon Run sends you careening through the dipping, bending curves of a river of fun, and you’ll want to come back for more of this water slide action: guaranteed!

With so much fun all in one place most guests decide to stay for a few days. Great Wolf Lodge has some amazing rooms to choose from, including standard suites, premium suites, and the amazing themed suites. The lodge is a perfect place to visit during the cold winter months.
