Every week in the past we went to Nice Wolf Lodge Williamsburg and had a blast! Right here is the recap! 

Nice Wolf Lodge Williamsburg

The final time we went to Nice Wolf Lodge, Mazen was six and Birch was simply 4 months outdated! (Learn that publish right here!) 

5 years in the past: 

We’ve been eager to go once more and picked a day when metropolis faculties had a trainer work immediately to take the boys again. We additionally needed to carry our nephew alongside – the extra the merrier! Occurring a weeknight and faculty day was the appropriate transfer – it wasn’t too crowded and we didn’t have to attend lengthy for the rides. Solely the very peak instances appeared a bit busy. 

We left Charlottesville after faculty on Thursday and arrived at Nice Wolf Lodge round 5:30 for verify in, dinner, and a waterpark session. 

Child Cabin Suite

We bought our room on a promo for rather less than $200 which is a incredible worth contemplating how many individuals it slept and since the waterpark is included in your keep!

We had bunk beds and a twin for the three children and a queen for the adults. Thomas and I famous how small the mattress appeared and likewise that there was a pull out couch, so we ended up sleeping in separate beds! We each slept GREAT! I’m undecided why they don’t improve to king beds for these suites. 

Waterpark Spherical 1

After checking in and dropping our issues, we turned into our bathing fits and headed for the waterpark. This place is actually a dream for youths! There are 4 huge waterslides for the large children, just a few medium slides, a wave pool, a lazy river, a browsing space, ninja course, toddler pool, and water fort. 

Zero Entry Toddler Pool

Birch beloved the yellow and orange slides right here. It was additionally tremendous shallow for little children 

The Water Fort

I want I may say this was Birch’s favourite, however he was TERRIFIED of the enormous bucket that dumped gallons of water each 5 minutes. The noise alone was terrifying to him, however he was terrified of getting dumped on too. It’s too unhealthy as a result of this space is ideal for youthful elementary children! There have been two physique slides that Mazen and I went on as soon as. 

The Massive Slides

The massive slides had been so superior! The yellow and blue slides had been pitch black (as a result of it was darkish outdoors) and I really like that aspect of a shock drop at the hours of darkness. Then there have been two slides that match 4 individuals: “The Inexperienced One” was slower and never as quick. 

The Twister

Then there’s the Twister!! At night time it was additionally pitch black darkish and SO scary and enjoyable!! You undergo a tube with a huuuuge drop and find yourself in a funnel that you just climb the partitions. My first experience I went backwards, at the hours of darkness, and it was so enjoyable!!!! Mazen and Nash did the Twister double digit instances! I most likely went 5 instances. It was superior! It was additionally a lot much less scary within the daytime if in case you have youthful children. 

The tip of the twister: 

The Wave Pool

The gang pleaser was the wave pool. Birch beloved it. The massive boys got here in when the waves turned on each 5 minutes or so for a couple of minutes. It was a fantastic spot to all meet up. 

The Browsing Space

The massive boys additionally beloved the browsing simulator. I attempted it as soon as and didn’t accomplish that nicely, haha. Mazen was actually good at it! 

The Lazy River

We didn’t spend a lot time right here, nevertheless it was nice that the tube slides fed into it. 

The Scorching Tubs

The pool water wasn’t chilly, nevertheless it wasn’t terribly heat both. So a go to to the new springs was most welcome once in a while! Up above was adults solely, and the center one was for the youngsters. Typically it didn’t get too crowded. 

Nice Wolf Lodge Waterpark Ideas

Timing

In order that’s the lay of the land! It’s such a fantastic park included in your keep. You will get there early in your arrival day and use the waterpark earlier than verify in, and you may keep late on checkout day too. If there have been particular instances had been supposed to go away by, I wasn’t conscious of them. You didn’t want to indicate something official to enter. We had been there from 6-8pm on Thursday after which once more from 9-1:30 on Friday and will have stayed longer! 

Lifeguards

The lifeguards are extremely attentive. It was really just a little foolish to look at them as a result of they do plenty of visible cues to let others know they’re scanning the pool and sides. However as a father or mother, these had been nice to see! 

Cleanliness

The waterpark was very clear, and the entire resort was in good condition. The workers had been very useful and good too. Once more, I all the time have very low expectations for locations like this given the quantity of those that come via, and we had been pleasantly stunned. 

Meals & Snacks

There’s a “no outdoors meals” rule, however we noticed loads of individuals with snacks and drinks introduced in. We introduced just a few snacks for Birch and I few seltzers for us in a cooler and that each one appeared advantageous. They’ve a ton of choices within the retailer and eating home windows, together with loads of grownup bevs! Some Virginia craft beers and each canned and bottles of wine. 

Valuables

We didn’t carry any valuables, together with our wallets, into the park since we left our stuff on a desk. We did depart our telephones hidden. They’ve lockers you’ll be able to lease, however they value further $ and I believed that was just a little lame. 

Temperatures

The air temp was nice – on condition that it was February we weren’t chilly inside and even ready in line moist. The water temps had been heat, however not very heat, so we did get chilly after some time. Thank goodness for the new tubs! The youngsters by no means appeared to get chilly. 

Eating

After we arrived on the park the youngsters scattered (Thomas with Birch) and I ordered pizza on the app. The app ordering was so nice, and I extremely suggest utilizing the apps! That is the form of place the place they traces may very well be a mile lengthy and so they weren’t. However app ordering made it really easy, and the meals got here out quick. The pizza was fairly good!

There’s a restaurant with a buffet there additionally, however we knew our youngsters wouldn’t need to depart the waterpark to eat, and it’s expensive for what you get, so we determined to make meals a low precedence and eat casually. 

I can not think about staying right here for a couple of night time, however I met a household who had been there for 4 days!! I feel if we had stayed greater than 1 night time and the youngsters had swam all day we’d be extra all for a restaurant dinner. 

Night Actions 

After the waterpark closed at 8, we took fast showers and went again out for some dessert and arcade video games. 

Birch and I finished on the dance celebration!

The arcade was a fantastic hit for the youngsters, however $75 disappeared in about an hour and I do have some regrets about that. We completed up round 9:30 and headed again for mattress. Subsequent time we are going to try the lazer tag and bowling alley as a substitute!

Donuts for Breakfast

There’s a breakfast buffet possibility, however we went for the straightforward app-ordered donuts as a substitute! The espresso was fairly good too. 

The grownups tried to get some protein with egg sammies

Pack up

Thomas took the youngsters to the waterpark within the morning whereas I packed up our room and loaded the automobile. We checked out of our room at 11 and had day packs with dry garments for when it was time to go away. 

My second breakfast: AG1! 

We spent just a few hours enjoying earlier than it was time for a late lunch and hitting the street. 

The youngsters opted for extra pizza!! 

I introduced a mother lunch: 

One night time was the proper keep for us, and the youngsters can’t wait to return subsequent 12 months! I took the very best bathe after I bought dwelling : )
