![]() They also put down mats for social distancing. My kids were amused by it, but I found it hard to hear and understand. Entertainment - we watched the Great Clock Tower show one night. I didn't see another elevator so if you need that, I'd recommend asking an employee before paying for a wand/quest. Also recommend getting ice cream from the place by the lobby desks! Magiquest - Lots of fun for my older kiddo, but it looked like the elevator only went to the second floor and there are some quests that require you to go above. We wanted to eat at the Grill in the hotel, but there was a half hour wait so we just ended up getting Culvers b/c kids were hangry :) For snacks, we brought stuff from home, but there is a shop at the lodge where you could pick stuff up. Save your money and get pizza elsewhere (Moosejaw is pretty tasty, but been a few years since we've been there). ![]() The pizza was terrible at the Hungry as a Wolf. Then for dinner, we did Hungry As a Wolf one night and Culver's (down the road and you can mobile order ahead) the other night. People started lining up like 10 minutes prior to it opening. For lunch, we ate at Buckets in the waterpark. You can also eat breakfast at the lodge, but it doesn't open until 7:30am. ![]() Both days we went around 7am and it wasn't super crowded. We were able to mobile order ahead one day, but not the other. Food - For breakfast, there is a Starbucks down the road the hotel. We found the little kids area by the wavepool had the warmest water for the little ones. If you have younger kids, a stroller is a great option to store all your stuff. If you are on an upper floor, consider taking the elevators at the end of the hallways or stairs instead of the elevator in the middle (takes forever when everyone is trying to go down). Waterpark - Lots of fun, but very crowded when first opening so get down early. We love PBS, but it would be nice if they could upgrade to include more options or even allow people to login to their Netflix accounts. ![]() Then the next morning, my kids woke up at 6am and nothing in the lodge is open til 9am so we only had PBS to watch. The first night, there were no kids TV shows or movies on so my older kid was disappointed as we normally do a family movie night. It only had basic cable with no pay per view options, and there was only one kids TV channel (PBS). The biggest issue we had with the room was the TV. It included two rooms - one separate with bed and TV, then the other had a bed, TV, a microwave, and fridge. Room: We stayed in a Royal Bear Suite - perfect if you have younger kids and need to put them to bed earlier. We had a fun weekend stay at the GWL in the Dells but would definitely recommend some changes. ![]()
