What to Expect Visiting Great Wolf Lodge During COVID-19

Great Wolf Lodge is open and operating! Full of family fun, there are a few things that will be different when you visit because of COVID-19. Here are a few things you need to know before you go.

Masks are Required in Public Spaces
Like much of the rest of Washington, you are required to wear a facial covering outside of your room when around other guests. The exception to this is when enjoying the waterpark. While participating in water activities you do not have to wear a facial covering. Disposable masks are available around the resort if you walk out of your room and forget.

Day Passes to the Water Park are NOT Available
You cannot purchase day passes to the water park. Birthday parties are also unavailable at this time. Water Park access is only available to guests staying at the resort.

Hot Tubs are Closed
Unfortunate for me, the hot tubs are closed. The only kind of pool I like is a hot tub, and since you cant socially distance inside it, they are closed.

Eating Inside the Restaurants is Temporarily Unavailable
Due to Washington State Mandate, eating inside the restaurants is temporarily unavailable. This will hopefully life soon. Right now, you can only order your food to go. You can eat at tables inside the waterpark or inside your hotel room.

Character Meet & Greats are Modified
While you cant high five or hug the characters, you can still meet them and grab a photo. You must keep your mask on and stay outside the fenced in area.

Housecleaners will not Clean During your Stay
Housecleaners will not be entering your room to make up the beds or clean daily. Instead they will only be cleaning upon check out. If you need extra towels or more coffee, etc then the front desk can assist you.

Limiting People Inside the Shops
All of the shops, including Build-a-Bear are open, they are just limiting the number of people inside at a time. So be prepared to possibly have a small wait.

Activities are Very Limited
Activities are very limited due to social distancing. These include things like the morning show, yoga, family dance party, crafts, story time, and more. Each activity allows just 4-10 families per session. If you check the schedule and want to participate in one, I suggest arriving at least ten minutes early.
