Guide to the Great Wolf Lodge Water Park in Williamsburg
The Great Wolf Lodge water park is one of the most fun places to visit in Williamsburg, Virginia! You can purchase a day pass for the water park or you can access it when you stay at the Great Wolf Lodge. One of the perks of staying at the lodge is you get two days at the Great Wolf water park for the price of one! You can access the park at 1 o’clock on the day of check in and until closing time on your departure day!
In this post, we’ll breakdown all of the attractions at the 67,000-square-foot indoor water park. We’ll also outline all of the other amenities the GWL has to offer.
The Great Wolf Lodge water park is a perfect 84 degrees making it perfect to enjoy year round. There are a ton of lifeguards and they are honestly the most deliberate, intentional, and professional lifeguards I’ve ever encountered. I was extremely impressed by how seriously they took their jobs.
