Per 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The final time we went to Nice Wolf Lodge, Mazen was six and Birch was simply 4 months outdated!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 submit right here!)
5 years in the past:
We’ve been eager to go once more and picked a day when metropolis colleges had a trainer work right this moment to take the boys again. We additionally needed to carry our nephew alongside – the extra the merrier! Occurring a weeknight and college day was the best 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 test in, dinner, and a waterpark session.
Child Cabin Suite
We obtained our room on a promo for rather less than $200 which is a implausible 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 seemed and in addition 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 become our bathing fits and headed for the waterpark. This place is really a dream for youths! There are 4 massive waterslides for the large children, a couple of medium slides, a wave pool, a lazy river, a browsing space, ninja course, toddler pool, and water fort.
Zero Entry Toddler Pool
Birch cherished 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 fearful 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 large slides had been so superior! The yellow and blue slides had been pitch black (as a result of it was darkish exterior) and I like that factor of a shock drop at nighttime. Then there have been two slides that match 4 folks: “The Inexperienced One” was slower and never as quick.
The Twister
Then there may be 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 simply climb the partitions. My first journey I went backwards, at nighttime, 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 when you’ve got youthful children.
The top of the twister:
The Wave Pool
The gang pleaser was the wave pool. Birch cherished it. The large boys got here in when the waves turned on each 5 minutes or so for a couple of minutes. It was a terrific spot to all meet up.
The Browsing Space
The large boys additionally cherished the browsing simulator. I attempted it as soon as and didn’t achieve this effectively, haha. Mazen was actually good at it!
The Lazy River
We didn’t spend a lot time right here, however it was nice that the tube slides fed into it.
The Scorching Tubs
The pool water wasn’t chilly, however it wasn’t terribly heat both. So a go to to the recent springs was most welcome infrequently! 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 terrific park included in your keep. You may get there early in your arrival day and use the waterpark earlier than test in, and you may keep late on checkout day too. If there have been particular instances had been supposed to depart 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 truly a little bit foolish to observe them as a result of they do lots 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 employees 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 folks that come by way of, and we had been pleasantly shocked.
Meals & Snacks
There’s a “no exterior meals” rule, however we noticed loads of folks with snacks and drinks introduced in. We introduced a couple of snacks for Birch and I few seltzers for us in a cooler and that each one appeared effective. 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 may lease, however they value further $ and I assumed that was a little bit lame.
Temperatures
The air temp was nice – provided 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 recent tubs! The youngsters by no means appeared to get chilly.
Eating
Once 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 children wouldn’t wish 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’t think about staying right here for multiple 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 inquisitive about 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 get together!
The arcade was a terrific 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 take a look at the lazer tag and bowling alley as an alternative!
Donuts for Breakfast
There’s a breakfast buffet choice, however we went for the straightforward app-ordered donuts as an alternative! 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 automotive. We checked out of our room at 11 and had day packs with dry garments for when it was time to depart.
My second breakfast: AG1!
We spent a couple of hours taking part in 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 right keep for us, and the youngsters can’t wait to return subsequent yr! I took the perfect bathe after I obtained residence : )
