Great Wolf Lodge Hotel and Indoor Waterpark in Concord, NC

If you are ever in Concord, NC there is a Great Wolf Lodge Hotel with an indoor waterpark. We stayed there for a couple of nights for our son’s birthday. They gave the kids wolf ears upon check-in which the kids enjoy and wore the entire time that we were there.

The rooms were nicely decorated to look like a lodge hotel. For a little more money, you can purchase a more themed room with bunk beds, etc. The two queen beds in our room were just fine for us. It is bigger than the normal hotel rooms.

The waterpark was awesome! There were quite a few water slides and they were all fun to go on. The wave pool was popular with the kids as they enjoyed jumping the waves. The Lotsa Water Dump Zone was a fun play area with a huge water bucket dumping tons of water every few minutes. Big foot pass was like an obstacle course trying to cross the water with ropes and stump like pads.

The biggest water slides were the Alberta Falls, Howlin Tornado, River Canyon Run and Mountain Edge Raceway. It’s worth the time to try all of the waterslides. We went on a non-peak time so there were no lines or very little and it was easy to keep going again and again.

They had other activities available for the kids aside from the waterpark like story telling, face painting, etc. But a lot of the extra activities do cost extra money. Some probably worth doing more than others.

At the end, leaving was hard for the kids. Our two nights were not long enough for them and they wished and wished that we could stay longer while crying and begging us to go back there soon. I guess they had a lot more fun than we though.

River Canyon Run at the Great Wolf Lodge

The Great Wolf Lodge River Canyon Run was exciting for the whole family. We were all able to go on the inner tube ride together as it was a huge tube. Lots of fun with a lot of laughs as the kids enjoyed sliding down the water slide as if we were in a river on a tube.

The Mountain Edge Raceway Waterslide at the Great Wolf Lodge in North Carolina

We had a lot of fun going down the Mountain Edge Raceway water slide at the Great Wolf Lodge in North Carolina. There was more than one slide so we were able to go down the slide at the same time. It was one of the favorites for the kids.

If you go there during the off peak times, it is a lot more fun as the lines are not that long and you can go on it over and over and over again.

Lotsa Water Dump Zone Great Wolf Lodge North Carolina

The Lotsa Water Dump Zone at the Great Wolf Lodge in North Carolina was tons of water fun. It was like being under a small waterfall with lots of water falling down on you. The kids enjoyed the water dump and would wait for the water to dump once the bell starts to ring.

If you are seated in the tables closest to the water dump, you will also feel the wind and some water each time the bucket would dump.

Exciting Legoland Orlando, Florida Family Fun Trip

Everyone had an awesome time in Orlando, Florida going to Legoland. There were so many things to do and ride on that we probably could have used two days instead of one. We are planning on going back again this year for more fun and hopefully play in the waterpark as it was closed last time we were there.

This video is an overview of most of Legoland as well as a little bit of the Legoland hotel in Orlando, Florida with tips on how to prepare your day with your kids.

Apple Picking at B.J. Reece Apple House Orchards

We had a wonderful day out picking apples at the B.J. Reece Apple House. There were so many more things to do than just picking apples. The kids had fun petting farm animals, jumping on a huge bounce pillow, watching the pig races, riding the cow train and more. We especially enjoyed the crunchy apples and the baked goods.
