McDonald Water Park

Earlier this month we visited the Great Wolf lodge for my nephews 4th birthday. I booked ahead of time and received regular updates and special offers regarding my stay. Which was pretty cool, I added a brithday package to our stay which included a really cute sign on our door, inside our room was balloons and a card for my nephew.

They are still closed. Disregard their hours of operation.. they need to update it .

We stayed at McDonald Water Park from a Sunday through Wednesday. Check in was quick and easy. The paper they give you doesn't say much about the amenities, just the kids program times, which were out of date because they switched from winter stuff to normal Jan. 5.

Didn’t actually get to experience the park. My first impression of the outside was that it looked better and bigger in the pictures but we were still excited for the water. I didn’t like that we had to drive all the way there (an hour out from us) just to pay the deposit. Then received an email two days before the party saying that they may have to cancel our party Saturday (today) because of a hurricane that may not even hit until Sunday-Monday. When we called to clarify, they said they would let us know for sure on Saturday depending on weather, rain or thunder wouldn’t close it, but that combined with heavy wind would. That was a sigh of relief. The day before the party, about 30 minutes before every park closes, they sent out another email saying they will be definitely closing. Mind you, this is after news reports showed Dorian possibly completely missing us. I’m still waiting on the refund. As I type this, it’s beautiful out and I’m livid that I’m not in the water enjoying my sons birthday party. I would have appreciated more than just a refund after time/money wasted and having to relocate his whole party to a different location that did not have water. We’ve lost a lot of people who were supposed to come due to this unexpected change and all they could offer is a “refund”.

Had blast. Really relaxing place. Was able to take kids and have fun. Really helped us cool down on a really hot day. Check them out
