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 previous! (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 instructor work as we speak to take the boys again. We additionally needed to convey our nephew alongside – the extra the merrier! Happening a weeknight and faculty day was the correct 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 college on Thursday and arrived at Nice Wolf Lodge round 5:30 for examine in, dinner, and a waterpark session.

Child Cabin Suite

We obtained our room on a promo for rather less than $200 which is a unbelievable 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 youngsters and a queen for the adults. Thomas and I famous how small the mattress appeared 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 actually a dream for teenagers! There are 4 massive waterslides for the large youngsters, just a few medium slides, a wave pool, a lazy river, a browsing space, ninja course, toddler pool, and water fort.

Zero Entry Toddler Pool

Birch beloved the yellow and orange slides right here. It was additionally tremendous shallow for little youngsters

The Water Fort

I want I might 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 afraid of getting dumped on too. It’s too unhealthy as a result of this space is ideal for youthful elementary youngsters! 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 outdoors) and I like that ingredient of a shock drop at midnight. Then there have been two slides that match 4 folks: “The Inexperienced One” was slower and never as quick.

The Twister

Then there’s 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 trip I went backwards, at midnight, and it was so enjoyable!!!! Mazen and Nash did the Twister double digit instances! I in all probability went 5 instances. It was superior! It was additionally a lot much less scary within the daytime you probably have youthful youngsters.

The tip of the twister:

The Wave Pool

The group pleaser was the wave pool. Birch beloved it. The large boys got here in when the waves turned on each 5 minutes or so for a couple of minutes. It was an amazing spot to all meet up.

The Browsing Space

The large boys additionally beloved the browsing simulator. I attempted it as soon as and didn’t achieve this nicely, haha. Mazen was actually good at it!

The Lazy River

We didn’t spend a lot time right here, but it surely was nice that the tube slides fed into it.

The Sizzling Tubs

The pool water wasn’t chilly, but it surely wasn’t terribly heat both. So a go to to the recent springs was most welcome every so often! Up above was adults solely, and the center one was for the youngsters. Usually it didn’t get too crowded.

Nice Wolf Lodge Waterpark Suggestions

Timing

In order that’s the lay of the land! It’s such an amazing park included in your keep. You may get there early in your arrival day and use the waterpark earlier than examine in, and you may keep late on checkout day too. If there have been particular instances had been supposed to go away by, I wasn’t conscious of them. You didn’t want to point out 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 really just a little foolish to look at 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 mother or father, these had been nice to see!

Cleanliness

The waterpark was very clear, and the entire resort was in fine condition. The workers had been very useful and good too. Once more, I at all times have very low expectations for locations like this given the quantity of people who come via, and we had been pleasantly shocked.

Meals & Snacks

There’s a “no outdoors meals” rule, however we noticed loads of folks with snacks and drinks introduced in. We introduced just a few snacks for Birch and I few seltzers for us in a cooler and that every one appeared wonderful. 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 convey any valuables, together with our wallets, into the park since we left our stuff on a desk. We did go away our telephones hidden. They’ve lockers you possibly can lease, however they price additional $ and I believed that was just a little lame.

Temperatures

The air temp was nice – on condition 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 advocate utilizing the apps! That is the sort of place the place they strains 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 go away 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 believe if we had stayed greater than 1 night time and the youngsters had swam all day we’d be extra fascinated 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 ended on the dance celebration!

The arcade was an amazing 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 try the lazer tag and bowling alley as a substitute!

Donuts for Breakfast

There’s a breakfast buffet choice, however we went for the straightforward app-ordered donuts as a substitute! 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 automobile. We checked out of our room at 11 and had day packs with dry garments for when it was time to go away.
