🏖️If you are looking for an epic summer vacation spot with an affordable price tag, then I highly recommend considering a staycation at in Anaheim.

🛌 Rooms at Great Wolf Lodge start around $300-$350 a night, and include TWO FULL DAYS of water park access for the whole family!

⛳️They also have a ton of extra attractions at an additional cost, including a ropes course, mini-golf, adventure trail, bowling alley, arcade, Build-A-Bear, candy shop, and SO MUCH MORE!

🛝 Want this to be more of a long term summer base for your family? Then consider getting their season passes which start at $130/person for weekdays (2 and under are free)

➡️ When I originally shared this vacation idea in my stories, I got a lot of questions about Great Wolf Lodge, so based on those I wanted to provide some extra tips to help you plan your trip:

👶🏻This spot is friendly for all ages, but I think it’s most ideal for kids ages 3-10.

✨ It’s going through major glow-up renovation now, but most areas are still accessible. Certain attractions and restaurants were moved into new areas for the renovations.

🚗 Parking is extra ($35)

💦This is perfect for a “fun” vacation and your kids will love it, but it does get BUSY! Few seats were available in the water park when we visited. Despite the amount of people, the hotel seemed clean and well-maintained.

🎂 It is perfect for birthdays and they offer special add ons to make your child feel extra special!! We celebrated a birthday here and everyone had an amazing time. Thank you to the Great Wolf Lodge for hosting our family!
