Great Wolf Lodge Bloomington

Great first time experience! Me & family had an awesome time. 😊 easy check in!

So busy you can’t enjoy you yourself. Wait in line for everything including the elevators to get to your room. Elevators are slow. Stairs exit outside unless you remember to get out on 2nd floor, go down the hall to a door and out through the arcade to another stair set to go through the arcade to get outside. Check in took about an hour in line! I tried to use the kiosk but since I booked through Groupon it wouldn’t work. Ask a worker after trying a couple times and they’re like oh you have to go to the desk where the line was huge. Wait some more… while in line multiple workers walking around asking if they can help (at least 8 times I was asked this….), explain what you need and they saying keep waiting. So what CAN you help with??? Not a single person they asked if they could assist could they actually help so maybe add a desk, get the workers walking around without actually helping any one behind the desk and actually assist with check in!! We should not come in allllllll at once per hotel directions, and have to wait hours TO CHECK IN!! :/ it was chaos and could be avoided with MORE CHECK IN DESKS. Or allow the kiosks to allow check in with ALL of the types of reservations (I guess only reservations made through GWL direct can use kiosk even though you get the code and steps in your email AND their app….) Rooms and facility is outdated. The rooms are hot and stuffy and you cannot open the windows. Took us the first day to find the thermostat to adjust the room temp and it still was crazy hot and stuffy. No air flow. I would hate to be there in the summer. My kids were meh about the water park. The hours were not convenient l, closing at 8 especially when it took so long just to check in, then try to get an elevator bc duh hundreds of people checking in the SAME TIME causes mass confusion and use of the stairs and elevators… when your room is on 6 you don’t want to lug luggage up the stairs… :/ waste 2+ hours of time so only get maybe 2 hours in the park with crazy long lines.. good luck getting in more than a couple rides!! No hot tub for parents trying to relax while the kids (teens) are having fun.

The food is beyond terrible, the burgers taste like fake meat and was $18 per burger. So awful our family couldn’t eat them and we aren’t picky. When you buy a package that includes free towels, wolf ears, refillable cup, toy wand etc- they have strategically placed each item inside separate shops so you have to visit multiple places where your children see tons of other things they want! There are also “upgrades” that cost additional for every free item- and the free one is so lame it’s easy to want to spend more for the better item! And each activity requires you to walk through other activities so your children see everything and want to do everything that costs extra $! Their marketing department is smart! Parking costs $20 per day too. Aside from the above- the room is spacious and clean. checking in was quick and easy. The waterpark itself is full of entertainment for all ages. Water slides are great and water is warm!

Nice for the kids! Staff at the front desk were friendly and very helpful.

Rooms were clean, mattress horrible, staff wonderful. Although at the Ice-cream shop my child witnessed staff give a kid a cone and mom paid but it was before they opened like 12:30 they opened at 4, my kid went to get a cone and was turned away. Noise level was pretty good considering it’s a place full of kiddos. The first night was extremely overpriced but was made up by extending my stay. There are tons of stores around including MOA.

Our kids had a blast! We enjoyed the value of the wolf pass. It was nice that you are able to continue using it after check out time. MagiQuest and the arcade was our favorite.

It was a good experience, we didn’t like that the wave board attraction was closed. Our room seemed very run down for the suite experience. Over all staff and attractions in the hotel were great.

Amazing definitely worth going just a wait in morning for breakfast or else everything is great at resort recommend

The pop machine was broken so the refillable cups were only good for day time, Dunkin didn’t have a baker the one day, the room temp was hard to regulate, the app wasn’t working for food credit tracking, and the surfing activity was not running but the hotel was clean.

The water park is great! The rooms and service, not so much. We were there for three nights. No housekeeping service AT ALL. Which meant no coffee after day one, no fresh towels, overflowing garbage cans, etc. When I asked about service after day 2, I was told it was not available. There was no thermostat in the room. No clock. Lots of activities to do, but absolutely no information provided. There was absolutely zero information provided in the rooms. Not even check out times. Parking costs $20/day, and you may not even be able to find a spot. We came back late one night after a day of shopping, and had to wait over 2 hours for a spot to open up. Two hours of our vacation sitting in the car waiting. There is not an alternative. If I would go back, I would not stay there. I would just get water park passes for a day.
