A great little stay-cation for us as a family.
The moment we reserved our rooms (gifted to the kids for Christmas) and our stay were magical for the kids. This is a very serious family friendly resort stay. DO NOT stay here if you want quiet time.

I was able to snag some white and blue ears from the resort to plant with the “tickets” Santa left for us. The kids got to pack their bags and plan out their adventure. The moment we checked in they were ready to hit the water park.

We of course ran to our room and got on our suits. One nice part of GWL is that you can bring in your own drinks and snacks to keep at a table by the pool. We also had snacks in the room. We stayed for 3 nights so having the extra snacks was necessary. The amenities are good but not great for all. We had miniature golf, arcade, mini bowling, Build – A – Bear Workshop, Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, Dunkin’ Donuts (for all the coffee) and their snack bar has some unique cocktails to numb your ears from the deafening screams of excited children. The wave pool was pretty cool and the giant water jungle gym was great for the boy. The big girl was very much into the slides but just barely tall enough to go alone, so a parent was constantly pulled up with her and one of us left to wade in the kiddie pools with little man.

If you plan on going to GWL I highly recommend it. Go all out. The kids will really love it. Having a six year old and four year old at this water park, family resort was really the perfect time to go.
