Ohio Great Wolf Lodge Locations

There are two Great Wolf Lodge locations in Ohio, one near Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky and the other near King’s Island in Mason, close to Cincinnati.

Sandusky

The Sandusky Great Wolf Lodge was formerly the Great Bear indoor water park resort and is one of the state’s oldest indoor water parks, delivering superb accommodations and amenities for the entire family. There are 271 suites available at the property, with rustic themes including whirlpools, fireplaces, and lofts. The three story grand lobby features an animatronic owl and moose to welcome and entertain guests, and the on-site fitness center, 6,000 square feet of meeting space, 100 game Northern Lights arcade with ticket redemption center, and two family restaurants provide great options for all ages to enjoy. The key feature of the resort, however, is Bear Track Landing, the indoor water park.

The water park features a range of fun activities that use more than 200,000 gallons of water supervised by a staff of more than 60 certified lifeguards. Popular attractions include:

• 9 waterslides, including 2 inner tube slides, four body slides, and three junior slides designed especially for younger guests
• An indoor adult pool and a zero depth kiddie pool
• A lazy river for relaxing floatation
• Large capacity family and adults-only whirlpools

During the warmer summer months, guests can also enjoy the outdoor pool and sunbathing areas, while kids can join the Cub Club all year round for daily crafts, activities, and bedtime stories that make their visit to the resort truly memorable.

Tips for Visiting Great Wolf Lodge Resorts

A Great Wolf Lodge resort is far more than just a hotel with a pool and a few waterslides. It truly is an all-in-one destination families can enjoy together, but it does take some preparation to ensure a fun getaway.

• Make reservations early. Because both Ohio lodges are near immensely popular amusement parks, rooms can sell out quickly for the peak summer season. Rates range from as low as $100 per night in the off season to more than $250 per night in the summer, depending on the type of suite. Prices include waterpark passes.
• Take proper safety precautions in the water park to avoid any dangerous or embarrassing water slide oops. Follow all posted instructions as well as verbal directions from lifeguards at all times.
• Encourage all family members to have fun on the different splashy attractions, but do not force anyone to try new activities they are nervous or scared about attempting.

The Ohio Great Wolf Lodge locations offer spectacular indoor water park fun for the whole family no matter what the temperature or weather may be outside. With luxury spas, fitness centers, arcades, and other features in addition to the water park, there is truly something for everyone at these themed resorts.
