The food is terrible, the pizza is gas station level. Like we were yelling at each other and could barely hear the other person talk. The water park is just swarms of people on the weekend, hardly even one seat available, and everyone there is like the people you would see at a rural Walmart at 2am. First of all it's ridiculously expensive and SOOO overcrowded.

I had low expectations coming in because lets face it, indoor water parks are never fun. Our 2 girls, ages 7 and 8, have been begging us to go to Great Wolf Lodge. Overall, if you play your cards (timing) right, the resort offers a big bang value for your buck!… Sometimes they’re just as happy to enjoy the water park and get an ice cream cone. My grands having been here multiple times don’t always have to do the quest or the arcade. Saving on the room means more cash in your budget for other activities within the resort or outside of it. There’s an ice cream shop, a gift shop that has a big wall of candy, coffee shop, donuts, an arcade, bowling, a quest-so many fun things to do under one roof! The resort is rather pricey, but if you plan ahead, or keep an eye out in your email as a member, you will find times that you can book your rooms quite inexpensively. It’s convenient way to get the kids fed so they can start their fun. The restaurant within the hotel offers a Buffet for breakfast that we do choose to eat. Speaking of Birthday packages, we, personally, do not do the package that includes pizza because the pizza is not to our liking, but that’s OK because Concord, NC has a wide variety of restaurant options to suit our fancy. Either way! From the banner on the door to the birthday cake and balloons, the one cream cone, and of course the arcade card, it’s a special treat, indeed. (To the best of my memory, each time we return, those things that needed replacing in the prior visit have been replaced.) Birthday packages are set up in the room between 4 and 6 PM. And while there may be some areas that the hotel needs to update, staff is always available to ensure that even with the large crowds the property’s cleanliness is maintained.

They don’t fail to make the kiddos feel special, welcomed, and wanted! That means a lot to things grandma since the kids are the reason we come! Our room has always been clean. The staff is friendly, professional, helpful, and ready to assist from before you arrive to the end of your stay. The Great Wolf Lodge Concord provides a fun, fabulous time for everyone! This Mimi of two received the request for a Howling birthday (turning 6) weekend after her sister’s Howling birthday (turned 8) weekend in August.
