Good enough
Good for an overnight stay near Mall of America. The room was big enough for our group of 5 and we slept well. What I don't like about Great Wolf is that everything is monetized and it's LOUD all the time. Our teen guests did use the water park briefly but since it closed at 8 PM, they didn't have much time.

Expect to wait in lines for everything.
This place was an absolute madhouse. We waited nearly an hour just go check in, had only an hour to enjoy the waterpark because they close at 8 and couldn’t return because they open so late. Over half the water slides they weren’t open. The bunks are made for small children exclusively - it would have been nice to know that at booking. It was just so overcrowded and unpleasant. Constant lines and screaming children and very little to actually do other than spend even more money with wristbands that are linked to your credit card that cannot be removed. I will never come back.

This was our first time staying at GWL and we would definitely go back again. Our kids (ages 4 to 19) enjoyed the water park and activities at the hotel. We spent a day at the Mall of America since it was a half mile from the hotel. Our room was clean and our floor was quiet. The staff we encountered were friendly and helpful.
