Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky, Ohio is a Family Vacation Favorite

Located in Sandusky, Ohio near the shores of Lake Erie and the renowned Cedar Point Amusement Park, the Great Wolf Lodge is a family lodging destination designed to capture the atmosphere of the Northwoods. The Sandusky location is one of about a dozen located throughout the United States.

The Great Wolf Lodge's claim to fame is its spacious all-suite accommodations that are especially geared to families with children. Guests can choose from nine different configurations arranged for various sized families or groups. Family Suites, which can sleep up to six, include two queen sized beds and a sofa bed as well as a separate living area. Some include fireplaces. The Queen Suite and Double Queen Suite most resemble a standard hotel room, with one or two beds (or sofa bed) and a private balcony. The themed Wolf Den Suite is ideal for kids who love playing make-believe. This suite features an in-suite cave-themed area with bunk beds so kids can "rough it'' yet stay protected from the elements. Similarly, the Kid Cabin suite includes a Northwoods Cabin nestled inside a large family suite. The cabin includes bunks and a day bed as well as its own television.

The Loft Fireplace Suite is a two-story accommodation that includes beds both upstairs and downstairs as well as a semi-private living room and private balcony. For families seeking some extra privacy, the Royal Bear Suites at Great Wolf Lodge include a private master bedroom and a second bedroom with queen bed and sofa bed. There are also two TVs and a private balcony. Finally, the Whirlpool Fireplace Suite includes too soothing amenities - a whirlpool tub and a cozy fireplace. It also features a king-sized poster bed and a full-size sofa bed, accommodating four guests.

While kids like the themed suites, they also enjoy coming to Sandusky's Great Wolf Lodge because of the expansive indoor waterpark located there. Features at the waterpark include Fort Mackenzie, a 4-story interactive tree house water fort that offers suspension bridges, cargo nets, and other water features such as a 1,000 gallon bucket that dumps water on unsuspecting guests. Also part of the waterpark is the Caribou Creek Lazy River, a relaxing tube ride suitable for visitors of all ages. Kids can also cross Big Foot Pass using "logs'' or cargo nets or play basketball in the Chinook Cove Activity Pool. In addition, there are a few kiddie slides for little ones, the Totem Towers three-story slides for guests of all ages, and the four-story Alberta Falls slide, which twists in and out of the lodge.

Adjacent to the waterpark is the Northern Lights Arcade, which contains classic and contemporary video games, pinball, and more. There's also a full-service fitness facility with cardio machines and weights. Younger children can even enjoy a story before bedtime at Great Wolf Lodge's evening Story Time, held each evening after the nightly Clock Tower Show, which features singing animatronic figures.

Restaurants inside Great Wolf Lodge include Gitchigoomie Grill, featuring standard American fare for lunch and dinner; the Klondike Caf,, situated in the waterpark and serving sandwiches and burgers; Lumber Jack's Cook Shanty, offering breakfast family style; and Bear Paw Sweets and Eats, where guests can grab a yummy treat like cookies, candy, or ice cream.
