Yeah we went to great wolf the other week and the one we went to (being the Ohio one) so I don’t if they haven’t renovated that one but the rooms look the same, and the magic wand thing hadn’t been upgraded in a while and was definitely out dated the water park was a good part of it

We started going to indoor water parks last year after we went with our 3 year old son to an outdoor waterpark while vacationing in Puerto Rico. He loved it so much we started looking for waterparks and discovered all the different indoor water parks we didn't know existed in the tri state area. Since then we have been to Kalahari twice, Kartrite once, and Great Wolf Lodge once. We went to Kalahari first since almost everybody says is the best but they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Great Wolf Lodge has the most charm imo and the night activities such as their dance parties really made us fall in love. Also while Kalahari had the most options in terms of dining I think the incredibly high prices negates this advantage. Another big disadvantage for Kalahari in the food department is the long wait times and long lines. Last time we were there I had to wait over 40 mins for a pizza pie twice! The places to eat within the waterpark are atrociously slow and the food is just not worth the wait. On the other hand at Great Wolf Lodge we were always able to get lunch in a matter of minutes. I think most of the restaurants at Kalahari would go out of business in a matter of weeks if they weren't attached to a waterpark. Just really bad service. I also find the Great Wolf's buffet to be the best out of the 3 and having an actual Dunkin within the premises is a big plus as you can get a small bite and a coffee much quicker than at Kalahari. Overall, if you have younger kids Great Wolf Lodge has enough water slides, activities, and charm to satisfy Pre K-3 grade kids and shorter lines and wait times to satisfy the adults. We will be returning to Great Wolf Lodge in April. I would def recommend Kalahari for older elementary school kids and middle schoolers - just bring your own food when you go there!

I live in the Poconos. There are 4 indoor water parks. They are all similar and completely different depending on what your family is looking for. Each is great in their own way. Wave pool is so much more awesome at Great Wolf. And the indoor outdoor spas take over at Khalahari. Khalahari is quite a maze composed to them all especially if you need accessible access as we do for our child. I suggest you try Aquatopia also. They have a fabulous not so lazy river and decent wave pool among all their other features. Enjoy the wave.

there was a creepy guy who made a post in a local fb group to the Pocono one. he said he made reservations and the ticket to the "event" was free. so basically you'd go to kalahari and swim for free. I asked if kts really free to swim and he said fun for the whole family not even really acknowledging what I said then you can press going or maybe amd the only 3 people going were the host and two other creepy looking g guys not from the state so fucking weird. I called up kalahari and asked about the reservation thinking its just a vacation home 7 hour pitch but nope there was no reservation under that name or any events at the specific 10am lot. so still have no idea what they were trying to accomplish im assuming human trafficking

Here's what I would do. I would come to the Poconos in the winter to go skiing at all those nearby mountain resorts. For that reason I would more than likely stay at one of those mountain resorts and wouldn't need to stay at either of those waterpark resorts as they both offer day passes (Great Wolf Lodge didn't offer day passes back then but they do now at all their locations except the one in Niagara Falls as of now). And which waterparks would I go to when taking a break from all the skiing? Kalahari and Great Wolf Lodge. The reason why for Kalahari is because of how big it is and I would go there every time I'am in the Poconos no matter what season it is. My reason for Great Wolf Lodge is because even though there's a bigger indoor waterpark at nearby Camelback Mountain, that one also has a large outdoor waterpark as well where as Great Wolf Lodge is 100% indoors. For that reason I would also visit Great Wolf Lodge in the winter while coming back in the summertime to do both the indoor and outdoor waterparks at Camelback Resort. My only concern is what else am I going to do in the Poconos in the summer time?

I paid for the African Queen suite and they gave another family my room which happened to be brighter. The room they gave me and my family was extremely dark and dim. I paid a pretty penny for it, so I wasn’t pleased by that at all. Overall the water park was excellent.

I know this video is a little older. Last year and this year Kalahari accommodation pricing seemed to be much higher than GWL. I priced both of them months out and found that Kalahari was about 200 to 300 more expensive per night, not including activities and food. GWL currently offers an all day dining deal allowing you to pay for meals up front.. so there is less worry about hidden costs when you're already there. My kids are 6 and almost 3 are absolutely in love with GWL, but they both like gaming and so Magiquest is a big draw for them.

No hate to Kalahari in any way, but one thing I noticed is that GWL has a lot more locations then Kalahari. (15 more if you want to be exact) But otherwise I agree I love them bolth. ❤

Great review. I live within a few miles of both resorts. You are missing Camelback resort with an indoor water park, summer time outdoor water park, and winter skiing. Also, you should know that even if you are staying at one resort, you can eat at any of the others. :-) We occasionally take advantage of the resort dining to add some variety, and the game rooms for some fun!

Kalahari in Sandusky is king. Better than GWL and splash lagoon in my opinion. Personally I would take splash lagoon in Erie over GWL. Kalahari recently had the tendency to be a little dirty inside the water park...hopefully with the covid going around the cleanliness will be better. TBD we're getting ready to leave today.

I have only done GWL because i didn't want a place too big where I'd lose track of my kids. Kalahari is much bigger so it makes sense that they have more available. We checked in the day after Memorial Day last year...taking the kids out of school for just one day. I was comfortable letting them lose at GWL because there wasn't too many places for them to roam alone. As they are older, I'd like to try the other place. The price difference at the time I was booking...was just too expensive at Kalahari being 300 more. GWL was cheaper even with the dining I pre-paid for. And between the time I made my reservation and the actually trip, i continued to check for discounts that I could apply making the trip even cheaper. I did that twice with no problem via chat with a rep. There is a build-a-bear onsite which my daughter got her first bear. The bowling was fun along with video games which stay open pretty late. There is also a Benny and Jerry's ice cream shop and thank you for Dunkin Donuts. The food in the only sit down place they have was actually really good and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It was just enough for their age. The chlorine was a bit overwhelming when you first entered the park...it wasn't strong in the lobby area. We adjusted fast. The pool area outside is conveniently located just outside the waterpark thru double glass doors which my kids went back and forth from. However I missed this in my paperwork I guess..they did charge me an additional fee upfront to go towards our stay expenses ( I think $300)...any amount not used is refunded back to your card upon check-out which is super easy and doesn't require you to return to the desk and your final bill is automatically emailed to you upon check-out time. Your wrist bands simply deactivate. I recommend this place for younger kids.

I’d definitely say great wolf lodge wins! I always go to the location at Wisconsin! I’m 11 and turning 12 soon but i still find it very fun! We’ve been going since my sister was about my age (even younger) and now she’s 21! We’ve been going for a long time but this is the very first time I’ve done magi quest! I also went on the tornado for the first time! I really hope to go after all this corona virus stuff is over.

I’ve stayed at Kalahari a few times and they don’t bring you toothbrushes. You have to go downstairs and buy it in the shop. They’re not complementary or a housekeeping issue. I looove that place compared to all three parks (Great Wolf, Camelback, Kalahari)

I’ve been to both (I have better memories with my family at GWL. So I would choose GWL over kalahari) but they are both great and I wouldn’t mind which one I went to. I guess it is personal preference.

in my opinion, great wolf lodge is way better than Kalahari. you just have to know how to book it to where it’s only 500 for a suite and not 900. it’s also more family oriented i think. i’ve been going there for so long and when i went to Kalahari, it was just too big and chaotic. i didn’t feel like at home there.

Thanks again for sharing insightful information on all resorts for the family fun time :)

Good luck! Very overpriced hotel with lots of unexperienced staff. Most of the staff are j1 immigrants with no experience that are house in a dormitory across the street. Every 6 months they get new ones on work visas. Very economical!

Great video, but it sounds like you have only been there once, but you were wrong on some things about GWL- like they do have an outdoor pool area and that the wave pool does have waves that turn on and off. Kalahari is a much newer resort so their amenities and accommodations will be more updated. By the way, november december is the best time to go to GWL. They have many more organized activities like cookie decorating, dance parties, etc. It also snows in the lobby!

Yeah being a part of the great wolf lodge email list is a great way to save 30-50% off your stay. We're going this spring and after adding taxes and the breakfast buffet it's like $350 for our 2 night stay.
