Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine, TX

Great Wolf Lodge is by far the best place I have ever spent the night!  I am not sure if a small post is sufficient to describe just how and why I feel this way, but I am going to make an attempt.

Reason #1: MagiQuest is the ultimate family togetherness game!  We spent hours on our quest through the lodge searching for clues with our wand.  We completed our quest before we left on the 3rd day of our visit, and we felt fulfilled.  We plan to go back soon to attempt another quest.  It is so much fun!  (You can do a quest without spending the night at the lodge, by the way)

Reason #2: We never had to leave the lodge for anything.  There was plenty to do every day.  The Cub Club has daily activities for the family including bingo.  Kids can, also, color a picture, color a shirt, play in a play house, play games on the computer, or read a nature book. 

At night, there was story time, and the girls loved going down in their pj's.  We went to every story time and soaked up all of the entertainment. 

Reason #3: They have a full scale water park that includes indoor and outdoor activities.  We did as much swimming as we could during the day and saved the MagiQuest and story time for evening time. 

Reason #4: It is close to home!  A vacation close to home is great!!  No long drive or huge gasoline bill. 

We did not do the Wolf Walk.  This takes place early in the morning.  Since we stayed up late playing MagiQuest every night, we did not get up early enough for the walk. 

There is a spa as well, so you can pamper yourself while you are there.  We were not in the market to spend that kind of extra money, but it would have been nice to get a massage while we were there. 

There are other entertainment options such as an arcade, a Starbucks, shops and a Build A Bear station. 

Like I said in the beginning, you never have to leave the lodge for anything.  There are plenty of restaurants to choose from... And if you get tired of what the lodge has to offer, there are several things to do and things to eat just down the street at Grapevine Mills Mall. 

I hope we get a chance to stay at GWL again.  We all had a great time, and we can't wait to go back!
