The reason that Great Wolf Lodge is a fun vacation for the kids is obvious. The reason why Great Wolf Lodge is a fun vacation for the parents is that it's EASY. The room is right there, the restaurant is right there, the pool is right there, the bathroom is right there, the store is right there, the dance party is right there. No packing things up, shlepping, loading kids in a car, dealing with cranky drippy kids.
The hotel and food are solid. The convenience is TREMENDOUS.
+1 Convenience, safety, and ease is why people stay there. When you have two kids of two different ages, it's easy to split them up. Nobody gets overtired because the room is right there, and you go straight from the waterpark to the shower in your room.
