Niagara Falls Water Park

Reviews of Niagara Falls indoor water parks and
water world attractions



Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls is a first class family and kids-friendly resort and water park, conveniently located near the intersection of Niagara Parkway and Victoria Ave. and 5 min drive from the Horseshoe Falls.

This great Niagara Falls water park was among the top winners in the Canadian Tourism industry, for tourism excellence.

Visiting Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls Water Park


great wolf lodge niagara fallsWhile you are approaching the Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls water park and visiting the resort, Northwoods setting, ambiance and rustic themed rooms will make you feel that an amazing experience is about to come.

Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls

The water park has over 100 000 sq ft. of space where 2.5 mil. liters of water is used for all kinds of fun and entertainment, like 13 water-slides with 4 kiddies' slides and 10 pools.

Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls is recommended for families with young children. It offers everything you need, from the theme based accommodation, convenient eateries, clean rooms to the variety of amusement sites.

Our recommendation is to book a room at the water park level. The advantage of having a room there is that you can drive to the room, load and unload your bags right from your car, and save time and avoid hassle while waiting for the elevators with the impatient kids.

Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls Advantages


The great thing with Great Wolf Resorts is its exclusivity for their guests where you don't have to deal with the long lineups and crowd.

Kids over 13 may be in the water park without parental supervision, and you without worry, as there are over 100 lifeguards on the duty.

The water park is very clean, and chlorine (used to fight bacteria in the pool) is not too strong. Ultra violet purification technology is used to minimize noxious effect of chemical used in the pools.

And they claim that they are in 5% of resort hotels in cleanliness, measured by guests.

At the reception, once you check-in, you will receive a wristband that can be used as a key to your room, or as a payment option. Wristband is very convenient for your kids as well, where you can load some money onto it and manage kids' spending. No need to carry a wallet or keys.

Park pass is good until 9pm any day.

The five story lobby with a beautiful stone fireplace, hand crafted furniture is the meeting place for kids at the "Story time" performance.



Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls disadvantage is the meal price (read expensive) and average / low quality and variety of food.

Our recommendation is to check out other Niagara Falls restaurants, as there are so many different cuisines and for any savor.

Don't forget to bring swimsuits, plastic bag for wet suits, swim goggles, earplugs, flip flops or aqua socks, waterproof swim diapers for kids that are not potty trained. Towels are provided.
