Most of my photos from the Great Wolf Lodge were taken with my iPhone (hard to juggle a DSLR camera and a toddler in a swimming pool!), but I was able to shoot a bit of video in the waterpark. This family-friendly lodge is within close proximity of Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway and CommunityAmerica Ballpark. If you’re looking for a fun, easy, indoor getaway in Kansas City, the Great Wolf Lodge is an awesome idea! The location is pretty rad too, right in the Legends area, next to a huge outlet mall, the Kansas Speedway, Sporting KC and a ton of other activities. They loved the bunkbeds though, and thought the whole thing was a great adventure.

Also, we decided on a suite with what we thought was a separate room for the kids, but it was more like a divider with no door or full walls, so getting the kids in bed was a challenge.
The walls were thin, and when you’re in a hotel full of kids, it can get pretty loud, which made it hard for my little guys to get to sleep.
My only gripe with the Great Wolf Lodge would be the actual rooms. It is a 4D Theater that puts guests 'into the movie' as they move in motion-enhanced chairs with other special effects for guests to experience. It was nice to have something Lu was so excited about that was outside of the pool area, just in case we needed a break or were trying to get back to the room so Tate could nap a bit. Howly Wood XD Theater, formerly known as Bikos 3-D Virtual Reality Adventure Theater) is an attraction found at select Great Wolf Lodge locations. It’s hard to explain, but you can learn more about it here. We spent the days at the waterpark, but Lulu’s other favorite part was the Magiquest, a game set up throughout the hotel where kids used a magic want to open up treasures and secret powers. We stayed two nights, and while that was PLENTY, I’m sure you could spend a whole week there and not run out of things to do. From the hula hooping in the lobby to the bedtime stories told every night by the hotel’s mascots to the huge arcade, it’s a child’s paradise. The minute we walked into the building, the kids started freaking out, and for good reason. The Great Wolf Lodge is a hotel that features a massive indoor water park and is about 20 minutes from our house. Since it had been so snowy and grey for the past few months, we decided to hit up the Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City, Kansas. That way even though we weren’t going somewhere foreign and tropical, they’d still feel like we “got away.” And I wouldn’t have to travel for hours with a crabby two-year-old. As a part of our “at home” Spring Break this year, I thought it might be fun to try and take the kids somewhere overnight here in the city.
