READ PART 1. The Water Park At Great Wolf Lodge Garden Grove is an astonishing 105,000 square feet and is exclusive to resort guests. The only exception to this rule is if you know of someone who is already staying there then you can get an extra wrist band for $50. There are 16 water play areas for kids to enjoy and safety is taken very seriously here. Here is a list of safety rules to abide by.
Life Jackets Provided
US Coast Guard approved life jackets are available for anyone who needs one and they come in different sizes. I found these to be super helpful during our visit because sometimes there is quite a strong pull in the water from many of the rides and I didn’t have to feel worried or stressed about my daughter not being a super strong swimmer.
List Of Attractions
With over 9 thrilling slides and 7 water play areas there is something to make everyone happy! The best part is they have double rafts so you can ride with your family members.

After a full day in the water park the kids are exhausted and so are the parents. Imagine how great it would be if you could just snap your fingers and wine and cheese would arrive at your door. Well, it really can happen! Great Wolf Lodge’s new Wine Down Service allows you to choose from wine/cheese/fruit packages that will be delivered straight to your room. Featured pairings include the Kids Snoring, More Pinot Noir-ing which pairs decadent chocolate truffles and a velvety Pinot Noir, and the Rekindle the Bonfire, which pairs luscious dark chocolate-covered strawberries with a bottle of Chloe Prosecco. And get this……Instead of a knock on the door, guests will receive a text message from Great Wolf Lodge to let them know the delivery has arrived to avoid waking children mid-slumber. Win/Win!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring a cooler to the Water Park? You can bring a cooler to your room, but it has to stay there. Coolers are not allowed in the waterpark.
Are towels Provided? Towels are provided for your family in the water park as well as bathing towels in your suite. Blogger Tip: The towels are really small . I would suggest bringing your own.
Can I rent a Cabana? Yes, Indoor and outdoor cabanas are available to rent daily for your family’s comfort and convenience in the water park. A cabana has seating for six with lounge chairs, a 20″ flat screen TV with satellite access, a safe and Great Wolf Lodge playing cards. There is also a mini refrigerator with an assortment of non-alcoholic beverages.
Can I bring a Gopro Camera? Yes and you should. The chest mount works great for the waterslides with tubes! A waterproof case for your cell phone is also a smart idea.
