    Have any OT's been there. How did you like it? Would one parent be able to watch 3 kids at this place? Thinking of going the end of next week. Any feedback appreciated.

    Awesome place. Very family oriented and definetly a lot of attractions and fun. How old are the kids? Either way I think you'd be fine.

    My daughter is 12 and is bringing a friend that is the same age. I'll have to spend most of the time looking after my son who is almost 5. Just a little concerned about trying to watch the 3 of them by myself.

    Very understandable. It really depends on a lot of factors, is your 12 year old mature? Do they like big water slides? Are they adventurous or impulsive? If you trust your 12 year old, I would feel comfortable leaving the 2 12 year olds there alone. Obviously the 5 year old needs a watchful eye but that's a given anywhere you go. As long as you're organized (meet every hour) and know what general area the 12 year olds are in you'll be fine. These kinds of trips always end up being very stressful for the parent involved but try and relax and have a fun time :)

    lol we stayed at a great wolf lodge in michigan for a golf tournament.

    Still can't get the theme music at the front desk out of my head a year and half later. Don't know how the employees can take it.

    I got 2 friends that are lifeguards there. I've only been for the waterpark when we're half buzzed/high. It's fun, kids will have a blast. If the daughter has a friend, you won't have to worry about her at all, as long as she's semi-decent with rules and a "good kid," which I imagine she is.

    Have fun. You'll enjoy some slides too!

    This is an awesome time to go because the hot tub (adults only) allows you to pass thru a plastic sheet and go outside. Nothing like a hot tub soak while it is snowing. Food is very pricey and there is nothing else walking distance, so be prepared for that, but other than that you should have a great time.

    One word of caution tho, Readzie used to fly helicopters at the helipad across the street and if he is still doing that, there is the possibility of a catastrophic crash into the hotel.

    Oh, and the "real" sharp is Shaaaaaaaarp, not you, sry.

    have not been to that specific one, but have been to others. IMO, assuming they are average or above average maturity level for a 12 year old, they will be fine unsupervised so you can watch the little one. Lots of life guards around.

    Just my opinion- Been to Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls. It is a nice place, but the other waterpark in the Fall- Fallsview is just as good, not as expensive and restaurants are within walking distance. My kids loved it there. Everything is connected with an indoor walkway. Save a few bucks you'll thank me late
