I, my husband, our 6yo, 3yo, and baby + MIL are going to Great Wolf Lodge (Williamsburg) during the kids' Spring Break. We've never been there before -- any tips? Do they have suites or adjoining rooms that would work for this size group? |
With a baby?? |
Yes, plenty of suites that work for this size group or larger.
https://www.greatwolf.com/williamsburg/suites has all the options. |
I don't think it's a big deal. It's easy with the number of adults and a suite. They have 3 adults and 3 kids including the baby. So they can be one on one with all the kids if needed and many of the suites have a separate bedroom with a queen where the baby can stay with an adult(s) who handles night feedings, etc. 3 adults and 3 kids is probably easier than they have it at home with 2 adults and 3 kids! |
Sure, plenty of multi-room suites. GWL is great for a family trip despite the DCUM naysayers. |
Wait, is there a reason not to bring the baby? Does GWL not allow babies? In case it's relevant, the baby is very easy-going and we've taken the baby along on all of our family trips. She doesn't even fuss on airplanes. |
It's hot and noisy in the waterpark area. Do you expect to have the baby in a swimsuit and at the waterpark? I went to a different Great Wolf Lodge. There was only one toddler wading area. My suggestion is to get a room with a mini fridge and bring in your breakfast items to save time and money. |
They have three adults and three kids. That's pretty much ideal as everything is close together and there are lots of different activities that appeal to different ages so the group can easily split up, including the baby, but still be all in the same hotel. |
Agree. The kids will have a lot of fun, they have stuff for different ages, they have big suites, and you have MIL to help with one kid so it should be easy. |
We (including the baby) have visited an outdoor waterpark and brought the baby into a pool reserved for families with very little ones... but if this water park doesn't have anything like that she could just chill poolside with one of the grown ups, or never enter the waterpark area at all and stay with a grown up elsewhere while the rest of us swim? At one point on a different trip, while my husband and the two bigger kids visited the indoor pool at a hotel we were staying at, I stayed in our room with the napping baby (the pool had no baby area). |
