GREAT WOLF LODGE WATER PARK REVIEWS

We've been coming to the Great Wolf Lodge for 4 years and about 6 times a year. My daughter dressed up like a little Wolf for her love of the place. Many parents and children loved it. Actually number employees gave her complements and told here how cute she was. Families smiled, took pictures and it brought joy. Management made her take off her Wolf mask, totally broke her heart. Telling us you cannot wear masks. However, I've been here many times during Halloween and many customers had masks on - very hypocritical. Anyway, for what it's worth, I had to write about this experience. Great Wolf Lodge is supposed to be accepting of all people, apparently not for 7 year old. The fact that they would break the heart of a 7 year old, that was their biggest fan...the very last time we will come to this place, not as friendly to families and children that they appear to be.

It was a really fun place to go and spend time with my kids.(10&21) One thing I love is all the workers including the young lifeguards have so much patience with the kids and everybody there. Very polite and nice. One thing you have to be patient is when you're getting your room you're not going to get it at the time they say 4:00 well I didn't. But they worked really hard and trying to get me the room since my daughter was getting off work that day and needed some rest they gave us an extended stay until 1:00 p.m. the next day for giving us the room late. location is spot on . water pressure in the shower was ???? i love high water pressure. very comfortable atmosphere. and the water slides were so much fun . we will be returning

My 4 year old had the best time ever. He did not want to leave at all. This place is surprisingly super engaging for all ages. The highlight of our stay was we had forgot our wallet in the room but they were able to retrieve it for us at the end of the day. Highly recommend. We will be back.

MCCORMICK-STILLMAN RAILROAD PARK REVIEWS

This place was great. Mostly free except for the train ride and the carousel which are 3 dollars per person which I thought was reasonable. Very clean and well maintained. Great places for kids to play, water fountains all around or bottles of water in the market. The model train museum was amazing. The largest display I have ever seen and really well put together. So much to see. It’s also air conditioned inside so it’s nice to get in a get a break from the heat. We had a great time.

Kids had a wonderful time here. Very reasonably priced $3 a ticket to ride the carousel or the train. (Helpful tip for a family of 4, they sell a $20 pack of 8 tickets). The playground is fun. We all loved the miniature train displays. We enjoyed touring the old train...there was a very sweet lady in the last car that shared a lot of cool historical info. Overall everything was clean and well kept.

Not sure how this place came to be, but it’s incredible! So much fun for the kids, from the train rides, to the merry-go-round, to the playgrounds and open space. The prices are so reasonable, $3 for the train ride. Even the food prices are good. When I mentioned leaving a tip, she said “thank you, but we don’t accept tips here”! They spared no expense building this place, no charge to get in, and they are so reasonable in price. What a gift to the community

ARIZONA BOARDWALK REVIEWS

We did the free foam frenzy event and my baby had sooooo much fun. I live in Peoria and it was worth the drive. We'll be attending again when they have another event. Obviously there was foam but also they had a fire truck there and were letting kids hold the hose and spray water at people. It was alot of fun.

We visited the Butterfly Wonderland. It is one of my wife's favorite places to visit. The 3-D movie about the monarch annual migration is amazing as you are in the midst of them. They receive 1500 cocoons per week from all over the world. It can get busy as it is a destination for school groups, too

We love to come on Saturday here specially during summer holidays for kids attending the event here such good place to visit.
