"There's kids everywhere and none are going to the bathroom. " Maybe the reason "the strong smell of chlorine "

"There's kids everywhere..." ...what do you expect from a *family* water park

it’s a kid-friendly vacation place. try and tell me that kids shouldn’t be loud at a place that is fun and MEANT for them. families go there because it’s fun. it’s really for anyone of any age. i’m 16 and i love going to gwl

As someone who’s going soon this is not changing my mind, “the strong smell of chlorine,” IT’S A WATERPARK. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT!

“ it smells like chlorine.” Great wolf Lodge: yeah because it’s an indoor chlorinated pool.

Ma’am, you just described every water park.

“Being able to swim in the winter is fun, but standing in the line for hours is not fun” Casually just shows a clip of no people in a line lol

People who are supportive to great wolf lodge 👇

It's a KIDS resort. You don't go to a kids resort for a quiet relaxing vacation, you go so your kids get to run around and have a blast. It's gonna be loud, it's gonna be filled with kids not really behaving their best, it's gonna be a bit overwhelming. It's what you'd expect from a kids resort, not one that's meant for Karen's.

“There are kids everywhere” ma’am this place is practically made for kids, don’t go if it really bother you that much. (I didn’t mean this in a rude way whatsoever, and I’m sorry I didn’t include her whole quote, kids are most likely going to use the pool as a bathroom, the little kids can’t control it. I’m sorry for not including her whole sentence)

The part about the game that encourages kids to run around (Magi Quest) All of the activities shut down around 8 or 9 pm and opens at 9 or 10 am. So you won't be up all night hearing kids run and yell. With check in, try to get their early and keep in mind when booking when it will be busy.

“The water park smells like chlorine” Girl what did you expect 💀

“Children everywhere” Ma'am its a waterpark 👀

She’s complaining that there are kids at a kid’s water park😂

Going around the hotel and playing magic quest is one of my favorite childhood memories. I still have my pink crystal wand that lights up, and this was 9+ years ago! Definitely one of the best parts of the hotel for kids.❤

Okay this truly explains a Karen. If you don’t want to see kids everywhere then don’t go here it’s a family friendly place.

I didn't expect someone to talk trash about a children's water park for being a children's water park

The rooms aren't ready on time because so many families are constantly trashing the rooms throwing kids parties every...single...day. As a housekeeper, I can assure you the wait is worth it if you want the room cleaned properly.

Bro really got her own son to say “shut up” for the vid 😂 This is just absurd

people who think she can’t afford it that’s why she making this video ⬇️

Ain't no way she complained of the smell of chlorine In a water park 💀

She just described literally every family fun place that has had a pool

Lmao “if motel 6 and chuckee cheese had a baby this would be it” literally tells me everything I need to know 👌😂

This girl is just saying that she doesn’t like when kids have fun 💀

“Let’s go back to Vegas” yeah, that place is the spitting image of cleanliness

I don’t think people go there expecting a calm relaxing vacation, people go there for kids and they’re usually expecting it to be loud and uncomfortable

"there are kids everywhere and-" ITS A FAMILY HOTEL WHAT DO U EXPECTTT

We have an amazing time when we went !!!!! Can’t wait to go back!!!

I’m sorry, but unless you are staying at a luxury resort, you aren’t getting orange juice that isn’t from powder. 💀💀

Her next review is about the public park, complaints will include children playing, dogs running around, and people enjoying their life

Girl, there is fun for everyone, not just you

that smell of chlorine, in fact means, that the place is clean. It means the chemical is doing its job to keep the bacteria out.

The goofy ass horror music playing as she's explaining things that exist at basically every child based resort ever is killing me

This woman expected The Great Wolf Lodge to be some adult only 5 star resort

As a former lifeguard at an indoor waterpark, just don’t go.

It was fun and the kids had a blast. Complainers will always find something negative. Yes kids run around because IT IS FOR KIDS TO ENJOY!!! 😂 but it's OK don't go let the rest of us enjoy without you😊.

“Theirs children everywhere” Ma’am this is a children’s water park!

Next week she reports, “in Vegas, it smells strongly of cigarettes and vapes. There are drunk adults everywhere and no one’s going to the bathroom.” 😂

To all the people saying “it’s a kids place!” That’s not the only reason. There’s a great wolf lodge in pigeon forge only 45 minutes from where I live and it’s constantly overrun with bedbugs. The staff does not clean the rooms or the pools.

Tell me you dont have/like kids without telling me. I do agree, do not go there. It is too crowded already. Stay away so that I and my kids can have more fun. Yes I am gatekeeping.

“I took my kids to Vegas and everyone is loud and drunk. Wouldn’t recommend.”

bro she literally just described every water park EVER. of course there’s kids it’s for children. also love how she says “let’s go back to vegas” vegas is 10x worse than that bestie

Bro I don’t think she realizes that it’s a kids water park and there is kids everywhere

great wolf lodge is the best im about to go next weekend again and its not so bad also its for kids what did you expect there not to be kids there people who support Great Wolf Lodge 👇

"I took my kids to a kids' resort and I had a terrible time!" -(the adult)

I work at a great wolf, and I can assure you, we're pretty damn clean then most places lmao. The water parks are checked well regularly, children are monitered and well taken care of, we have long lines simply because of how busy we are :^)

So the magicquest shuts down around 9 so you can’t blame kids running around to that. Quiet time is at 11 so if you took those videos before you cannot be upset at the noise. There is always at least 1 large bathroom and changing area if not 2 (depending on size of location) and that is not including any outdoor areas (i have not experienced these yet). They always have other options beside the restaurant and most locations are built near a meijer, or walmart, or around many different fast food places. It is your choice to go to the restaurant and pay $100+ there. The ONLY thing I don’t like is their activities and events are the same every day so my kids got bored of the “kids fun activities”. Even the bedtime story is the same… But this video is just exaggerating things…

I completely disagree gwl is one of the best vacation Spots this lady’s just completely wrong plus she left out a bunch of stuff mini golf mini bowling amazing ice cream and nice rooms many nice food stores (get this comment to the top so people who where thinking of not going after this) It is an 9/10 place not long waits for water slides and cool areas for all ages

When I was a kid I went to a great wolf lodge and I will never forget how happy my siblings and I were. My parents later said that the experience sucked for them but they were happy to provide us with an experience we will never forget.

Congratulations you just described almost every indoor water park on the planet

Be grateful you can take your kids to do these things. My two year old is getting fitted for a wheelchair in eight days

I've been there last winter. As a floridian who moved to colorado I was desperate for a water park for my kids. We didn't have any issues except yes!!! The chlorine smell is insane. I couldn't breath. My son really wanted to go for his birthday this year but I am pregnant there is no way I am gonna inhale that while pregnant!!!! I've been to many indoor pools and the smell of chlorine at great wolf lodge is just way too strong.

Aint no way she’s complaining that there’s kids everywhere when it’s a literal water park😭💀

You should’ve blurred the kids out especially the one at the end. Unless he’s your child and you’re okay with him being on the internet. Otherwise it’s very weird

"There's kids everywhere." Almost as if this place was made for them specifically. Edit: Please don't attack me for not understanding the full sentence. And to the one, not naming names, who implied I have the mind level of a child, I have Autism Spectrum Disorder. So don't judge someone's intelligence based on what you know. It just shows how smart you actually are. Not very.

I know she didn’t just complain about a WATER PARK smelling like chlorine ✋💀

FYI if a pool is smelling alot of chlorine it is a strong indicator that alot of people a peeing in the water. When urine and chlorine mix they form a new substance(i cant remember the name right now) and that gives off that distinct "fresh chlorine" smell. So you'd think that the more smell the cleaner but its actually the opposite. There have been tests made and it absolute is true, just search here on YT and there are videos on it.

This was my favorite place, and every time I went, they weren't building anything. The last time I went, they allowed mobile check-in, and I went last October. Also, it's a kids' resort. There will be kids running around. Also, you can order the donuts online, and they will tell you when it's ready

My girl forgot this is how almost every family park is like this. Also “There’s kids everywhere and it smells strongly of chlorine” what the heck did you expect? The water park to be empty and for it to smell like roses and cherry blossoms?😂😂

Definitely sounds like a Karen, “the place has a lot of games and encourages kids to be loud” it’s kids resort Ma’am 😅

Our family loves great wolf lodge and we have never had any issues at all. In fact we have nothing but good things to say about the staff and the facility. 10/10 would recommend

Don't go to a resort that is specifically intended for kids and has a waterpark in it if you're gonna complain about the kids acting like kids and the smell of chlorine? I get being annoyed with kids running around and yelling at any other resort, but this was made for kids to run around and have fun in.

i can totally understand how this would be a nightmare for adults now that i’m one as well, but man as a child i LOVED great wolf lodge. i have amazing memories with friends and siblings there

summary: don’t go to great wolf lodge. it provides too much joy to children and is too popular

How to tell us you're a Karen with out telling us you're a karen gotcha

And then you say let’s take your kids to Vegas I don’t think I PERSONALLY want to take your advice on this one LMAO💀

It’s a great place for kids. It was never intended to appeal to adults and I’d be concerned if it didn’t smell like chlorine🤣

"there are children everywhere". Yeah that's the fucking point.

I legit went to this place yesterday and stayed the night. This place was beautiful. There was live shows and so much entertainment. This Karen needs to stfu. Cause there was no disturbance at all. The rooms were good to there was no noise. I absolutely loved it.

Children everywhere and no ones going to the bathroom. Priceless 😅😅😅

“There are kids everywhere, the water park smells like chlorine, the gift shops have sugar items in it, and I also hate all things fun”

i feel like if you're bothered by children at a place made for children, maybe you shouldn't be at that place lmao 💀

I paid $115 for an overnight stay with 3 adults and 1 child (that included the water park for both check in and check out day)... there were no lines at all.. for check in or the water slides ..The game spoken about is in the lobby area, maybe close to a few rooms but no no and no. I call BS on this review!

Ok so let me tell you my experience with GFL.. back when it was Key Lime Cove, maybe mid 2010s, my family and I decided to go for a mini vacation. I was maybe between 14-16, I’ve had a lot of medical issues since I was 9 (briefly: I had a car accident, was left paralyzed with some of medical issues and lots of surgeries and delicate health the first 10ish years after the accident) and I couldn’t travel for long, I’m from Chicago so my family and I went up to Waukegan where Key Lime Cove is (was, now it’s Great Wolf Lodge). If I remember correctly we stayed a weekend or so, just a few days. Yes, check-in was LONG, but the adults handled that. Just a bar and arcade/mall food restaurants, if you wanted something good and not super overpriced you should of packed your own lunch and dinner. My brother and I went off with one of my aunts to look around. Everything visibly approachable was “clean” (wiped down) but if you looked just a bit closer, you’ll find dirt and dust everywhere.. meaning, benches and chairs were clean on the front were you sit but if you grabbed the chair from the back, your hand was covered in dirt or grease or something dirty. Tables clean from the top but had smeared food on the edges that was visibly old. Before you reached the area where the indoor water is, honestly halfway down the hallway, you get hit with a whiff of hot chlorine water. Yes, it’s an indoor water park BUT the lack of ventilation was the problem here, it gave people headaches, and I know this by the amount of people we saw going up to the counter asking the receptionist people for pain killers - which were directed to the gift shop for them. Imagine taking a hot steaming shower, pouring chlorine on the floor and sitting in the bathroom with the door and window locked, just breathing in the fumes. So much chlorine that you could see it in the water. Looking at this video alone I can already remember the smell. I understand it’s a kids park, but safety is still safety. Now, the rooms, the wheelchair accessible rooms were a bit small and only the bathroom was accessible meaning the door was wide and it had a roll-in shower, rooms did not have enough space to move around and the beds were high (we asked, they said they did not have low beds or bigger rooms). I was with my family, the could help me get in bed, but if you didn’t have someone to help you out your chair, you weren’t sleeping that night.. the bathroom had no ventilation, neither did the room. It was hot and we could still smell the chlorine. The beds were ok clean, the room too….where the eye could see. The window panes could have possibly been creating new deseases.. as I was getting ready for bed, I used the headboard to lift myself up and when I ran my finger over the top edge, so much dust came falling down on my face that I thought it was a spider, it was disgusting and proved that the staff only cleans were you can see and where you can’t, it’s best not to look.. we didn’t think it would be this bad, we had some expectations (knowing it is a busy resort and staff can only do so much) so my mom was mom-prepared: she wiped down everything around me, we had our own towels and blankets - again, I’m not trying to make us sound entitled or picky or anything, I was sick and was preparing for huge major surgery and my family wanted us to take a trip before I went under the knife but we couldn’t go anywhere also due to my health so we settled for something kinda close, kinda affordable and just hoping it would take my mind off my upcoming surgery. We should have done better research.. My situation was that I caught an infection from this place. A bad one. After the first night, with everyone getting a headache from the chlorine and my the room situation, my mom decided to cut the trip short and we left a day early. By Saturday night we were packing, we stayed only ONE night.. a couple of days later, I started showing symptoms of an infection, I was shivering so much from the fever that you couldn’t understand what I was saying, I had blue lips and fingernails, vomiting, extreme headaches, really really bad all within a day maybe - again, my immune system reacts differently, I’ve had infections without fevers and fainting spells from headaches, just poor health. My parents rushed me to the hospital, I got admitted and was given antibiotics and steroids along with morphine for my headache (I have a history of chronic migraines so whenever I’m hospitalized and I get a headache I get the big drugs). I was worsening by the hour. Monday night/Tuesday morning, I was admitted into pediatric intensive care, hallucinating from the pain and the fever, the infection was reaching my bloodstream and doctors were afraid I was going to get a seizure. (I’m not medical student and I don’t remember details of that night as I was off in lalaland but all of this is from what I remember from my chart, doctor follow up conversations and treatments I remember) They brought in some kind of ultrasound machine to look for a specific vein in my wrist and in my groin area to put an IV for some special medicine to help with my condition. This happened all through the night, I was vomiting, crying, hallucinating, high fever, literally almost dying.. after all tests and everything came back, it turned out I had a severe sinus infection from the dust and I guess inhaling chemical particles or something like that. Doctors asked what we had done recently, if I had left the country or taken a trip or had been around high-chemical areas, we told them about our trip and 1 Peds nurse mentioned being familiar with the place as she had another patient not so long before (it was the end of summer) also come in with an infection after going to KLC and apparently many kids end up sick after visiting places like that: I’m sure it all depends on the place, your health, and many other things but for ME, it put my life at risk. Mind you, I never even set foot in the indoor pool, I couldn’t stand the smell near the area alone, my brother did and he came back up to the room smelling like chlorine, he showered right after but I guess the room having no ventilation was enough for the particles to remain. I did go to the arcade room which was kinda near the pool area (you could smell it) but I was there for maybe half an hour before going back to my room. Docs think that’s how I caught it plus the lack of cleaning in the room itself. I have sinus issues now, I can’t smell strong odors without almost passing out, I take antibiotics for life and I have 2 nasty scars from the IVs (I don’t heal well).. my mom still has the text messages on her phone from that night, she messaged my dad back home to pray as things were not looking good. Everyone has a different experience and some people just run with better luck than others. I however, understand this video 1000% and would never go back no matter what. Yes my family and I could have done better research, we could have done something different or gone somewhere else, but we didn’t, you don’t think things could get this bad (and we thought we were prepared by bringing in our own stuff) when you’re trying to do something to literally distract yourself from a scary situation already. We wanted to have a nice family time before my surgery and this is the experience we got.

"There's kids everywhere" what do you expect karen.

“The strong smell of chlorine” It’s called a pool “Long line” Come on the weekdays, problem solved “There’s a lot of kids” Ma’am, go to a only adult hotel. If you have nothing good to day, don’t say it. 5 likes for part 2?

Worked at a theme park when I was a teenager. It definitely opened my eyes and taught me to never waste my money at these types of places.

"There are children everywhere" NO DIP IT'S A KIDS PLACE

“Now let’s go back to Vegas” is a clear indicator that this lady lowered her score because there wasn’t an open bar.

Yeah bro, I hate it when I find kids having fun at a place made for kids to have fun. (Anyway, I’ve been there before, and it’s SUPER fun.)

True. As long as the kids are having fun, that’s what matters. This is kids water park not adults.

"I went to a place for kids to play and they were playing!!!!" For real though. When I went the walls were thick so you never heard anyone out in the halls, they DID have a mobile check in so it took not even 5 minutes and they had everything really clean and top notch chlorine, so I'm not too worried. Was a great thing to do with my family and I have a lot of great experiences here!!

I went here over my spring break. And there both nothing wrong with it. Kids weren’t screaming. No lines for donuts. And no line to check in. She just had bad luck and choose the wrong time to go. This place is great

Ma’am this is the family friendly waterpark for all ages so if you’re going to complain about our clients I suggest you leave and never come back. Thank you very much. and also, if you’re complaining about the chlorine, it’s a waterpark we don’t want bugs getting in the water. Because the doors are open most of the time because tons of people are coming in the building. And we want to keep our waterpark clean and remember our place is an eco-friendly hotel so we don’t use too much fancy stuff hope you can understand.😊

Imagine thinking kids should be invisible and silent in a kid friendly water park.....

Fun fact: Chlorinated water doesn't really have an odor. Its only until it mixes with... other liquids

LOL " If Chucky Cheese and Motel 6 had a baby, this would be it!!!"

It’s a kids paradise. Except for the lines and rooms, it’s a treat for the kids. I would have loved to be able to afford something like this for my kids when they were little. For two days of earned sugar and fun, gladly. Shower them before bed, they’ll be fine.

"[And] no one is going to the bathroom." Bathroom: Cleanest room in the building...😂🤣😭 YOU'VE BEEN WARNED...💅🏿💀

personally, i love this park. don’t go to great wolf lodge expecting a relaxing vacation- it’s a kids resort. it’s going to be loud and chaotic and yeah, probably dirty. that’s just how these places are. just let the kids have fun.

“there’s kids everywhere” like what do you expect like are there supposed to be a bunch of adults running around playing mermaids

Splash Lagoon, Erie PA 169/night for a family of up to 4, hotel is separate, but close. Quiet at night. No line to check in. One night gets you 2 full days at the water park, come and go with the wristbands, resturaunts everywhere nearby. Breakfast included at hotel (decent) Wayyyyy cheaper.

"There's kids everywhere" What did you expect of a family vacation spot 😭🤚

Before anyone cancels their trips, please note: she’s from Vegas. I’ve been there and so have just about everyone in this comment section. They’re not a bad resort. In fact, it’s quite a fun stay. If you’re looking for something boujee or whatever, go somewhere else. But to anyone else, have fun!

My parents would take us to places designed for kids to be loud and have fun then punish us and get annoyed because they were surrounded by kids who were being loud and having fun. Why do people who can't handle this shit have kiiiiids 😭

the only reason she made this video is because she had nothing better to do with her life

I completely understand her saying all of this. It’s next to Disneyland where everything is super easy like mobile checking in and mobile food ordering.

“No one’s going to a bathroom” guaranteed ANY pool you go to someone’s gonna piss in it

My sister and I have gone to Great Wolf multiple times throughout our childhood and we LOVED it. We never had to wait in line or pay $400 a night, you just went at the busiest and most expensive time of the year. It really is a special place.

This is great Wolf Lodge. It’s supposed to be for families and fun if you don’t like it that much and want it to be a couples only zone, then go to the Bahamas or something. This is for families, you can’t just expect every single place like Disney is not going to have children . and besides some children do behave like my family and we have a family of nine! Also EVERY pool smells like chlorine, would you rather have the pool treated or just have the pool full of pee and poop and dead skin? THIS IS FOR FAMILIES! And it can even be for couples to… so if you really don’t like children that much, then go to somewhere where there’s no children
