We had a blast jumping in the waves.Ĭrooked Creek – a large lazy river that circles the entire waterpark and gives you a view of all of the features. A warning signal sounds before the waves start. Slap Tail Pond – a zero-depth entry wave pool with a maximum depth of five feet. The slides are big enough to accommodate adults and are quite fun! Kids from ages one and up can enjoy this structure. The water around the fort ranges from 6-12 inches deep. On top of Fort Mackenzie, there’s a giant bucket that dumps 500 gallons of water over the whole structure every five minutes or so. Kids need to be a minimum height of 42” to ride most of the slides.įort Mackenzie – a four story water fort treehouse with four slides of varying heights and lengths. Kids’ height is checked at the door before entering and they are given a colored wristband to wear that indicates which rides they can go on. The waterpark was manned by many lifeguards who kept a close eye on each station. This waterpark was so impressive! It spans 80,000 square feet and has more than a dozen water attractions inside! We spent most of our visit in the waterpark, enjoying all of the cool features. When you arrive at the Great Wolf Lodge to check in for your stay, you will see a giant fireplace where activities are held, a spotless lobby, the Barnwood restaurant, and large windows looking into the massive indoor waterpark. We stayed in a Deluxe Queen Suite that was spacious and very clean and included a small table and chairs, couch, and coffee table. They have theme rooms including the Wolf Den Suite which has a cave-themed sleeping area. The Gurnee Great Wolf Lodge is updated and beautiful! There are 414 rooms that sleep from four to 12 people. It’s a great place to stay if you’re visiting the theme park, but there’s so much to do at Great Wolf Lodge that it could easily be its own vacation, or staycation, destination! It is located less than two miles from Six Flags Great America. The Great Wolf Lodge in Gurnee opened for business in 2018. We were familiar with the fun experience and great quality that Great Wolf Lodge typically offers, but the Gurnee location took it up a notch! **Disclaimer: Our trip to Great Wolf Lodge was sponsored by Great Wolf Lodge. We’ve taken many trips to Great Wolf Lodge in Wisconsin Dells, but we visited Gurnee, Illinois’s Great Wolf Lodge for the first time this month! Great Wolf Lodge has locations all over the United States where families can spend time together to strengthen their pack!
