- Hi! I have a quick guide available at vegasstarfish.com that’s absolutely full of tips, hidden spots and really good information that will make your visit 110% more fun and stress free. Have the most amazing time in Vegas!
"There's kids everywhere and none are going to the bathroom. " Maybe the reason "the strong smell of chlorine "
Chlorine+Pee= Chloramine (that nostalgic smell of our childhoods)
I went one time during a weekday, and there was literally no one in there and it didn’t smell like chlorine, it felt like heaven
Right lmao
The reason why it smells strongly is the pee is making it smell strong.
Lmao I left the exact same comment LMAO and then I started scrolling and I saw your comments and I'm like at least someone else gets it
She just described literally every family fun place that has had a pool
@@michaeledwards190 it's a well known fact that a good amount of public pool water is just piss.
She's clearly just trying to go 2 Vegas so she can black out and wake up with used rubbers dangling from everyone of her "Party Holes" 😐
@Michael Edwards That's good. But chlorine doesn't has the pool smell without piss in it so...
@@Blue-fg8vt is just piss? No it's not, piss is in sweat, there is sweat in the pool you mean, and it's not "just sweat", it's mostly water and chlorine
@@T.R.U.M.P. lmfao what?!?! Talk about out of left field! 😂😂😂
“There’s only sugar to eat.” “I have to wait too long to get my donut.”
And then you say let’s take your kids to Vegas I don’t think I PERSONALLY want to take your advice on this one LMAO💀
“Let’s go back to Vegas” yeah, that place is the spitting image of cleanliness
@@radioessence475There are some pretty cool places for kids in Vegas but idk why she gotta shit on this poor waterpark XD what did it do to her?
@radioessence475 you act like the only place to visit in Vegas is the strip. I'm gonna guess you've never been to Vegas
@@zacharyjackson1829 I haven't. But I know that the strip is one of the most visited spots
@@radioessence475 of course it is, but that isn't the only thing in Vegas. Vegas has some awesome spots for racetrack racing, historical sights, park areas, and more
Vegas has been my kids favorite trip so far, even over Disney world. Lol. She picked Disney for her third bday and Vegas for her fourth.
"There's kids everywhere..."
...what do you expect from a *family* water park
@ETHO right bc she made some good points
This is why U listen to what someone has to say before interrupting 😂
The video says "There are children everywhere and no one's going to the bathroom"
@@ETHO542
She said it at the end.
Noise, sugar, waiting in line, chlorine smell.. Again this is all something you see at a family water park. "No ones going the bathroom" Public pool. You hope people don't but surely some do. She said nothing shocking to someone used to kids.
@@bobshanery5152 somehow u still managed to miss the points. she said loud noise while in your room, nothing but sugar, hours long lines to check in, and ridiculously strong chlorine smell. why didn’t you listen to the video
The part about the game that encourages kids to run around (Magi Quest) All of the activities shut down around 8 or 9 pm and opens at 9 or 10 am. So you won't be up all night hearing kids run and yell. With check in, try to get their early and keep in mind when booking when it will be busy.
MagiQuest used to be fun but they added so many more fees 😢
“The water park smells like chlorine” Girl what did you expect 💀
The rooms aren't ready on time because so many families are constantly trashing the rooms throwing kids parties every...single...day. As a housekeeper, I can assure you the wait is worth it if you want the room cleaned properly.
The hotel should be as aware as you though...no? If you know that, why don't they?
Do they not have a designated checkout time in the US? In Aus we have to check out of a hotel at 10, and the earliest you can check in is 2pm. That’s a 4 hour gap to have everything clean and ready
@SAMii94xo Exactly!!I we understand a trashed room takes longer, but if this is a regular occurrence, they should be allotting time to clean. Unfortunately this is probably why rooms cost so much though...
@@FynnsMummathey do have designated clock out however people don't always care and the messes range from simple to absolutely disrespectful. I worked at a hotel for awhile and the messes that were left especially by families were just disgusting
@@yesleksmith and as if every single room is trashed, it would be a handful that would take a bit longer and the rest should be available on time. They either need to employ more cleaners or become more speed efficient
“Children everywhere” Ma'am its a waterpark 👀
I know it’s hard for you to think and watch a video at the same time but maybe you should try n watch it all the way thru a couple times to get a better understanding of the information your consuming. Hope this helps
Im gonna watch this fight break out lmao-
I think this comment was just a joke. I laughed out loud when I read it. The lady in this video definitely has some reasonable concerns but thiss comment was just funny
@@antoni_theponi1793 so is your life but no one is laughing
@@sallylee2846 so? They said a comment was funny because THEY liked it so stop hating on someone when you’re the one without a life.
I legit went to this place yesterday and stayed the night. This place was beautiful. There was live shows and so much entertainment. This Karen needs to stfu. Cause there was no disturbance at all. The rooms were good to there was no noise. I absolutely loved it.
Bro really got her own son to say “shut up” for the vid 😂 This is just absurd
😂😂😂😂😂 I said something similar to someone else!
The goofy ass horror music playing as she's explaining things that exist at basically every child based resort ever is killing me
This review should not be the way it is.
My mom used to work there and it was awful she wanted the day off to spend some time with her kids because our dog died but they said go to work anyways and even after she got her work done for the she couldn't leave because she needed to wait for everyone else to get done she has many more stories about the place none are good
@@rob2249 The older I have gotten or going thru covid; I realized work treats you how you let them treat you
@@matemahe Ding ding you got it
@@matemahe this is a dumb take. People truly don't have a choice. Grin through it all to survive or risk being homeless. People can't just quit, that means no benefits if you have any and no guarantee for a job.
She’s complaining that there are kids at a kid’s water park😂
Fr 💀
She need to say that again but a little slower so she can hear how stupid that statement is
I mean if they ain't going to the bathroom i have a problem with that
she's so real
the problem is that they don’t go to the bathroom like normal people. kids are gross
"there are kids everywhere and-"
ITS A FAMILY HOTEL WHAT DO U EXPECTTT
We have an amazing time when we went !!!!!
Can’t wait to go back!!!
The ones in our state are great. Nothing like this.
“ it smells like chlorine.”
Great wolf Lodge: yeah because it’s an indoor chlorinated pool.
Chlorine by itself doesn't have a strong odor. When it's mixed with pee is when it takes on that smell that we all think to be chlorine
Fact
No but they do fucking set the temperature to hell, which increases the smell of the chlorine.
@@rariverez5147 have you never mixed chlorine?
@@rariverez5147 it literally has a smell straight outta the bucket.
I didn't expect someone to talk trash about a children's water park for being a children's water park
Exactly she’s just a karen
If you read some actual employee's thought on this: She is correct. She isn't a Karen, and for goodness sakes stop calling a woman a "Karen" if she complains about something!!
I lived in Las Vegas, and the strip has plenty of Hotels. I can tell when a parent complains about the times they had to wait that means they spent HOURS in line. I've been there, some of the hotels downtown are Horrendous at Check-In.
She brings up good points about the cleanliness: What parent wants to go to the ER for Chlorine Poisoning or Pink Eye or other various infections!! Read some comments from supposed employees where they had seen kids get Chlorine Poisoning, and threw up. Highly doubt they are able to separate the bile from the water *before* it gets cycled back into the Water Fountains to spray kids.
Then there is the delinquent little goblins. Just because it's a Kids Resort does *Not* mean they can be left unattended, running around people, or screaming and being noisy. You can clearly hear the children on the other side of the wall in that clip she showed in the hotel room she was given. Cheaply made walls at a kids resort? Great idea 👍
Hope I brought you some insight as to her complaints.
well it life and if i where to go there i would expect to be able to run around because of all the activities
@@glittergamer765i aint reading all dat
@@monkey11443 I'll make a simplified version then:
Employees have stated the conditions are terrible there. If the Sanitary and Safety conditions are terrible, and children are supposed to be playing there, the parents are stuck with sick kids from the Neglectful Establishment.
I lived in Las Vegas where there are Hotels, and when a Parent says they waited a long time for their hotel, that means Hours of waiting, and I'm talking 2-4 hours+ of waiting.
Hotel hallways are meant to be quiet, but the walls are thin and cheap, plus the Resort encourages children to run and be loud in the halls, making it difficult for any parent to get themselves and their kids to sleep. Being on Vacation is not an excuse to let your kids do whatever they want. It also doesn't mean you can't be courteous of the other families also trying to enjoy their time there.
All in all, the "Karen" is actually right, it's her tone of voice and music that makes it seem like she's complaining like a Karen. She isn't wrong with the points she brings up, and is trying to warn people of when they decide to go to Great Wolf Lodge.
My kids loved this place when they were younger. The interactive game was fun, and it wore them out. They also loved the indoor water park. Great weekend getaway.
This girl is just saying that she doesn’t like when kids have fun 💀
I don’t think people go there expecting a calm relaxing vacation, people go there for kids and they’re usually expecting it to be loud and uncomfortable
Facts
Yeah as long as the kids are having fun that's the whole point. I guess she doesn't care if her kids are having fun if she isn't. I feel like good parents are willing to do stuff like this for their kids because it's fun for the kids! Same thing with going to theme parks or on road trips. Like did my parents really want to pay $25 each to go see my crappy school play i was in for five minutes no 😂 but they did anyway. And bought me flowers after it.
@@WhitneyDahlin ya, parents have to make sacrifices for their kids in life
Yeah she probably doesn’t know what she’s talking about
@@elmer4730 She doesn't have kids. everyone is just assuming
Ain't no way she complained of the smell of chlorine In a water park 💀
Opinion mr
Chlorine smells like that when people pee in pools.
This is what I’m saying….
@@FallStar3388 chlorine is odorless
What she saying is it's not worth the money to go
Girl, there is fun for everyone, not just you
Children everywhere and no ones going to the bathroom. Priceless 😅😅😅
I’m sorry, but unless you are staying at a luxury resort, you aren’t getting orange juice that isn’t from powder. 💀💀
This is the most American thing I’ve ever heard. What’s wrong w wanting better, healthier food?
@@kat3217 Everyone wants fresh orange juice. However, it is incredibly expensive and takes a long time to make. Every hotel I have been to, other than a select few, even in countries other than America have used powdered orange juice.
@@kat3217 I don't know if your front America but health food is expensive and jobs don't pay much
@@everyhandleiwantedwastakenwell holiday Inn they don't use powder orange juice it does surprise me tho it is a cheap hotel like $90 a night
@@dopeman104 I am American and to say that “jobs don’t pay much” is a major over generalization considering that some of the richest ppl in the world live here. Also fruits and veggies are actually cheaper than junk food like McDonalds
Ma’am, you just described every water park.
I would assume she would hate Wisconsin dells then as well
Also I would recommend even u are an adult it’s quite a magical place to go they have go kart racing too and believe they even had zip lining but I didn’t do that because I’m to much of a pussy to that
And I think she described it well, that shit is disgusting
@@blancobenny8242 fair
Um no. She didn't.
Ha
I love this place. The key to having a great time there is to book a trip Monday through Thursday and not on a holiday. It's empty and you will have so much fun on the water slides, at the game room, and all the other stuff.
people who think she can’t afford it that’s why she making this video
⬇️
“I took my kids to Vegas and everyone is loud and drunk. Wouldn’t recommend.”
Nah fr it’s a resort for kids what do you expect😂
This lady sounds slow
💯 my kids love Vegas. Haha
Vegas was an adult playground years ago. They should've kept it that way. I won't go there because of the kids. " What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas " would get destroyed in seconds by a snottynosed brat.
@@FroggyHopScotch30 Then why bring children into it? I would've never brought my daughter to a place like that when she was younger, where I had to avoid going near certain places because it might corrupt her mind.
Her next review is about the public park, complaints will include children playing, dogs running around, and people enjoying their life
Fr
Right 😂
Yea a lot of parents are lazy slobs anymore who shouldn’t’ve procreated in the first place
@@TopazAnimations /s
Going around the hotel and playing magic quest is one of my favorite childhood memories. I still have my pink crystal wand that lights up, and this was 9+ years ago! Definitely one of the best parts of the hotel for kids.❤
Lady thinks this is suppose to be a couples get away resort when every form of advertisement for great wolf shows kids playing.
Her honest reaction to seeing kids at a family resort: 🤯🤯🤯
Aint no way she’s complaining that there’s kids everywhere when it’s a literal water park😭💀
I know, what a shocker that kids will play at a water park!!!
And chlorine?! Does she wanna smell little kid piss instead?
I don’t think she’s complaining that there’s kids at the waterpark. She’s complaining that the kids are shitting and pissing in the waterpark and not the bathroom. Hence the “and no one is using the bathroom” part of that comment.
Shut up great wolf lodge is the best
ya and she filmed the KIDS AREA
“There are kids everywhere” ma’am this place is practically made for kids, don’t go if it really bother you that much.
(I didn’t mean this in a rude way whatsoever, and I’m sorry I didn’t include her whole quote, kids are most likely going to use the pool as a bathroom, the little kids can’t control it. I’m sorry for not including her whole sentence)
I don’t think she was complaining about kids, I think it was that there are a ton of kids and they’re not going to the bathroom while they’re there.
@@stephanie22345 they do go to the bathroom but just in the pool
@@PepperClap I was too scared thinking it would change colors if I did. Some pools do in other places.
Fr
@@stephanie22345 Its a fucking water park what the hell is she expecting?
As a former lifeguard at an indoor waterpark, just don’t go.
that smell of chlorine, in fact means, that the place is clean. It means the chemical is doing its job to keep the bacteria out.
This woman expected The Great Wolf Lodge to be some adult only 5 star resort
It is litterally built for kids!!!
Of course they are running around and being loud
Fr💀
Fr tho
@@avaehman4772 Fr
fax bro
“Theirs children everywhere” Ma’am this is a children’s water park!
That's not a standalone complaint, it's the beginning of the sentence. "There are children everywhere, *and no one's going to the bathroom."* Consider for a moment what that might mean, specifically what it might mean about the cleanliness of the water.
Its sarcasm calm down and take a joke
Like yeah
There’s*
@@AarOnCoastersbro what, how the hell is “they are children everywhere” correct
Just say you hate children and go 😂
Your expectations are unreasonable. My family went and my children had a blast. It made my husband and I happy to see my children and other children having a great time.
To all the people saying “it’s a kids place!” That’s not the only reason. There’s a great wolf lodge in pigeon forge only 45 minutes from where I live and it’s constantly overrun with bedbugs. The staff does not clean the rooms or the pools.
Next week she reports, “in Vegas, it smells strongly of cigarettes and vapes. There are drunk adults everywhere and no one’s going to the bathroom.” 😂
Hilarious post i really needed to wake and laff so thanks
Nah, she won't complain. That will be what her kids are saying!
LMFAO Right tho
Oh they are going on the sidewalk and the side of the buildings.
No one's going to the bathroom in Vegas? Oh yes they are...just not in the bathrooms! LOL
I know she didn’t just complain about a WATER PARK smelling like chlorine ✋💀
This is probably the only waterpark she's been to
well it was also indoor soooo
Because chlorine technically doesn’t smell. It’s when urine mixes with chlorine that gives it the “chlorine” smell. So technically the stronger the smell, the more urine it has.
@@Neskazeria that means the water coming out of the faucet has pee pee because it reeks of chlorine.
I would assume they use less chlorine in tap water than a pool or water park too.
Chlorine smell is released when urine or fecal matter come in contact with it, it puts it through a chemical change to make it into gas (edit- typo)
You forgot to say how much that place is a cash grab. Everything in that entire hotel is outrageously expensive.
Tell me you dont have/like kids without telling me. I do agree, do not go there. It is too crowded already. Stay away so that I and my kids can have more fun. Yes I am gatekeeping.
When I was a kid I went to a great wolf lodge and I will never forget how happy my siblings and I were. My parents later said that the experience sucked for them but they were happy to provide us with an experience we will never forget.
I was finna say when me and my family went we had fun even then grown ups at the time
This is actually a really sweet comment
"when I was a kid"
Well it was built pretty recently, so like what, a few years ago? 😂
Some of my core childhood memories come from a great wolf lodge. This was my Disney land growing up. This place will always have a spot in my heart
@@FalonGreythere’s a lot of all over the USA retard and have been for a while hence it being new to you
My girl forgot this is how almost every family park is like this. Also “There’s kids everywhere and it smells strongly of chlorine” what the heck did you expect? The water park to be empty and for it to smell like roses and cherry blossoms?😂😂
It smells like chlorine because of a chemical reaction between pee and chlorine, the chlorine they put in the pools doesn't have an strong smell, you could only smell it if you're in the pool. And she is very far away from that pool
Fr
Ikr
The chlorine is from a chemical reaction of piss and chlorine. You changed your mind yet?
You didn't even phrase it right, she said..
"The water park itself smells strongly of chlorine, there are children everywhere and no one is going to the bathroom."
She isn't saying that children being there is bad, she's saying that most of these kids tend to use the pool as a restroom instead of getting out and using a proper restroom.
Lmao “if motel 6 and chuckee cheese had a baby this would be it” literally tells me everything I need to know 👌😂
I used to work at great wolf lodge as a buffet manager. I would watch that check in line every day as people stood for HOURS waiting to check in. It was unbelievable. And she is sooo right, no one is going to the bathroom. I used to get free passes to I took my family to water park and literally heard a kid next to me say, I gotta pee, I’m going to the hot tub!
“There are kids everywhere, the water park smells like chlorine, the gift shops have sugar items in it, and I also hate all things fun”
🤭🤭
😭💀
I live in the state where this place is and it is widely known to be a nightmare
@@basil6060she just straight up sounds like a complainer. Dont trust this assessment one bit. You can hear it in her tone esp when she says “rooms will not be ready when they say they will be”. Sounded personal af.
You’re intentionally twisting her words. She didn’t have a problem with kids all over the place, she has a problem with the fact that none of them are going to the bathroom which means everyone is peeing in the pool. Some ppl don’t like swimming in urine oh no they’re so boring bc of that! Also the gift shops are separate from the dining. She’s saying there is no food there other than the buffet mentioned that has anything but sugar. The gift shops were mentioned just to say there’s a lot of merch you can buy. Fun fact: people are allowed to dislike things.
"There's kids everywhere."
Almost as if this place was made for them specifically.
Edit: Please don't attack me for not understanding the full sentence. And to the one, not naming names, who implied I have the mind level of a child, I have Autism Spectrum Disorder. So don't judge someone's intelligence based on what you know. It just shows how smart you actually are. Not very.
Oml I'm serious I went here for my bday and I didn't experience all these issues
Hmmm…
Thank you
To be fair she is from Las Vegas
The point she was trying to make was “there’s kids everywhere, and no one is going to the bathroom.” Implying that everybody peeing the pool
This was my favorite place, and every time I went, they weren't building anything. The last time I went, they allowed mobile check-in, and I went last October. Also, it's a kids' resort. There will be kids running around. Also, you can order the donuts online, and they will tell you when it's ready
Congratulations you just described almost every indoor water park on the planet
Like just say you don't like watermarks in general lmao
But do you pay $400 for all that?
@@aram7706 yes, actually, that's probably the bare minimum
@Aram it's technically a resort so that's pretty on brand for pricing
Minus the $$$pricetag
I work at a great wolf, and I can assure you, we're pretty damn clean then most places lmao. The water parks are checked well regularly, children are monitered and well taken care of, we have long lines simply because of how busy we are :^)
Yeah I was gonna say. I worked at a Marriott in a city and we had mobile check-in. Our mobile system was barely touched, and it was typically only used by guests with the most elite membership. Even when it was used, guests would constantly have problems with it and have to check-in in person anyway.
The mobile check-in has nothing to do with the lines lol.
@@TALKINGtac0 from an outsider perspective, I don’t think it’s fair to say all that when your mobile checkin doesn’t work properly (why was it having problems)
@UCwrjCNrFXAXdDdwDMusPE7g here is your binky and diaper.
Yeah, great wolf is amazing. I celebrated my 5th birthday at one and have been going since
@@danieltsiu7383 Eh, understandable. I dont work there anymore but I think the reason it didnt work for many people is if you use it for the first time at a hotel, you need to go through the in-person check-in as a way to verify it isn't a fraud reservation. Once its been verified, I think you're free to check in mobile any time.
Not only that, you also had to turn on bluetooth in order to get the mobile key to work, as well as allow the app to use bluetooth. All of which was a bit of a hassle for the older population.
I've been there last winter. As a floridian who moved to colorado I was desperate for a water park for my kids. We didn't have any issues except yes!!! The chlorine smell is insane. I couldn't breath. My son really wanted to go for his birthday this year but I am pregnant there is no way I am gonna inhale that while pregnant!!!! I've been to many indoor pools and the smell of chlorine at great wolf lodge is just way too strong.
“The strong smell of chlorine” It’s called a pool
“Long line” Come on the weekdays, problem solved
“There’s a lot of kids” Ma’am, go to a only adult hotel. If you have nothing good to day, don’t say it.
5 likes for part 2?
I swear that i was getting high off of that chlorine 😂
Definitely sounds like a Karen, “the place has a lot of games and encourages kids to be loud” it’s kids resort Ma’am 😅
At 1 am, everyone should be asleep - not running up and down the hallways screaming. Kids are only as behaved as their responsible adult requires them to be. At 1 am - show some respect for others.
@@CraftHarlot nobody owes you respect when they are minding their own business, you’re just easily bothered. Stay home and don’t travel if you need good sleep.
@@CraftHarlot trust me nobody expects for the place to be quiet at 1AM. I would honestly be concerned if that happened 😂
@@franklinmaldonado3660 one of best things about going on vacation is sleeping in a comfy as fuck hotel bed and getting good sleep🤡
@@coralcatastrophicvery true but a place like this is for kids and teens to have fun. If that’s the type of vacation your looking for than you go to a resort. There are resorts specifically for this even some for just adults but this isn’t the place. That’s like going to Chuck E. Cheese than getting mad at the kids for being loud and playing with the games. Smh
"I took my kids to a kids' resort and I had a terrible time!" -(the adult)
lmfao I love listening to shit like this, makes me feel so much better about any of my parenting fails, because they're nowhere near the audacity of someone complaining about children being children at a place for freaking children 🤣
@@LMCorvinus like going to the dog park and complaining that there were too many dogs and you were allergic...
I mean ideally you'd want to go to a place where both you and your children can enjoy yourselves. And it sounds like not even the children could at their full capacity because they said they waited two hours in line, and that's a lot of time for an excited kid that just wants to go to the water park part already.
@@clumsy_zebra_97 that's just the place being Hella busy.. went in on the wrong day lmao.
Some days they aren't as busy and it's only a few minutes. From my exprince atleast
@@clumsy_zebra_97 Well I mean.. it's probably for a reason. High demand places mean lots of people, and lots of people means longer wait time. That's true for literally ALL super fun kids places (or any fun place really). I always told my niblings when I'd take them fun places where we had to wait "If it's worth doing then it's worth waiting in line for, right?" and I'd give them the option of us just leaving if they didn't want to wait in line anymore. And every time they'd say NO so I'd say "then we gotta be patient". And so we were.
So the magicquest shuts down around 9 so you can’t blame kids running around to that.
Quiet time is at 11 so if you took those videos before you cannot be upset at the noise.
There is always at least 1 large bathroom and changing area if not 2 (depending on size of location) and that is not including any outdoor areas (i have not experienced these yet).
They always have other options beside the restaurant and most locations are built near a meijer, or walmart, or around many different fast food places. It is your choice to go to the restaurant and pay $100+ there.
The ONLY thing I don’t like is their activities and events are the same every day so my kids got bored of the “kids fun activities”. Even the bedtime story is the same…
But this video is just exaggerating things…
great wolf lodge is the best im about to go next weekend again and its not so bad also its for kids what did you expect there not to be kids there
people who support Great Wolf Lodge
👇
It’s a great place for kids. It was never intended to appeal to adults and I’d be concerned if it didn’t smell like chlorine🤣
That's what I'm saying, be glad it smells like chlorine!
The smell or chlorine is actually orderless. When you incorporate urine then it smells like the classic smell of chlorine we are all used to
@@jacobmartin2978 then why does it have that same smell in the container before you add it to water.
@BigBootyTrudie open a packet of chlorine shock (i have hundreds or times) its has the same distinct smell, heck go to a pool store where they sell it the stores smell like chlorine, even tap water can have the chlorinated smell when they over treat it.

@@PercydeRoloFangirl the wilderness is honestly just full of families. there isn’t any druggies or anything. theirs life guards in almost every pool. besides what more can you expect for a indoor water park that’s supposed to be a cheap getaway for families?

@@PercydeRoloFangirlMostly the alcoholics and druggies that are out brazenly. Lots of gambling addiction. Other than things of that vain or tourist traps that charge extreme prices, theres nothing else to do lmao.
Be grateful you can take your kids to do these things. My two year old is getting fitted for a wheelchair in eight days
I go to great wolf lodge every year and it’s amazing
Don't go to a resort that is specifically intended for kids and has a waterpark in it if you're gonna complain about the kids acting like kids and the smell of chlorine? I get being annoyed with kids running around and yelling at any other resort, but this was made for kids to run around and have fun in.
You should’ve blurred the kids out especially the one at the end. Unless he’s your child and you’re okay with him being on the internet. Otherwise it’s very weird
And i think illegal, too...
i feel like if you're bothered by children at a place made for children, maybe you shouldn't be at that place lmao 💀
When she said “there are children everywhere” she said right after that “and none of them are going to the bathroom”, the children aren’t the problem…the fact that they pee in the pools is 😅

summary: don’t go to great wolf lodge. it provides too much joy to children and is too popular
Exactly. She trying to make it less popular so the line ain't that long
LMAOOO
i have been to the Anaheim one when i was visiting california and here is why i never want to go again: so last time i went was about 2021 december and i have emetophobia so i’m scared of throw up and i went to the waterpark with my cousins and one of my lil cousins threw up in the water
to be fair, disney world IS great, but it's getting too overcrowded and popular and many think it's no longer worth it.

Bro am i in a parallel universe because there is NO LINES plus PLENTY pf activities for families to enjoy and i hear NO SCREAMING
i can totally understand how this would be a nightmare for adults now that i’m one as well, but man as a child i LOVED great wolf lodge. i have amazing memories with friends and siblings there
If she has memories at great wolf as a child shes too young for you bro
Same. It was amazing as a kid. The whole point of parenthood is making sacrifices for your children. A trip to GWL isn't about the parents, parents need to stop making family vacations about themselves, but I guess I wouldn't expect an attention seeker like this woman to understand that simple premise.
As a child. U said that's who we went for the the kids. Not for us was it a headache yes did not stop taking pain med and at least 3 shots a hour. But the kids will never forget
Definitely one of my best memories
I was going to say it was a memorable experience as a kid.
"there are children everywhere". Yeah that's the fucking point.
Right?
Goes to a family lodge with indoor water park built for kids and then complains about the kids.
No, you dolt. There are children everywhere, but none of them are going to the bathroom. The obvious point being that all the kids are pissing in the pool.
She was not complaining about the kids. She said kids everywhere and nobody is using the bathroom. So that would be piss splashing down on you. But hey do you 😏
FYI if a pool is smelling alot of chlorine it is a strong indicator that alot of people a peeing in the water. When urine and chlorine mix they form a new substance(i cant remember the name right now) and that gives off that distinct "fresh chlorine" smell. So you'd think that the more smell the cleaner but its actually the opposite.
There have been tests made and it absolute is true, just search here on YT and there are videos on it.
It’s a kids paradise. Except for the lines and rooms, it’s a treat for the kids. I would have loved to be able to afford something like this for my kids when they were little. For two days of earned sugar and fun, gladly. Shower them before bed, they’ll be fine.
Seriously I want to save to take my son to the grand opening of the Naples location.
@@Arginne
That sounds like a good idea. Less pee in the pools. 🤣.
LOL " If Chucky Cheese and Motel 6 had a baby, this would be it!!!"
Hollered!
😂😂😂 that took me OUT😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
On point with that lol
OKKKAAAAYYY!!! 😆 🤣 Thanks for the heads up.
“Now let’s go back to Vegas” is a clear indicator that this lady lowered her score because there wasn’t an open bar.
Tbf that would piss me off too.
Fr
There is a bar in the park too she's just mad lol
Now its not the beat but its a lot better than what it could be its a nice place
Theres 4 bars at the one in charlotte, one in the bowling alley, one next to the arcade, one in the indoor water park, and one in the outdoor water park lol
Splash Lagoon, Erie PA 169/night for a family of up to 4, hotel is separate, but close. Quiet at night. No line to check in. One night gets you 2 full days at the water park, come and go with the wristbands, resturaunts everywhere nearby. Breakfast included at hotel (decent) Wayyyyy cheaper.
Ma’am this is the family friendly waterpark for all ages so if you’re going to complain about our clients I suggest you leave and never come back. Thank you very much. and also, if you’re complaining about the chlorine, it’s a waterpark we don’t want bugs getting in the water. Because the doors are open most of the time because tons of people are coming in the building. And we want to keep our waterpark clean and remember our place is an eco-friendly hotel so we don’t use too much fancy stuff hope you can understand.😊
I don’t think you understand how chlorine works. If you can smell it… the place is dirty. Do some research.
"There's kids everywhere" what do you expect karen.
That's not a standalone complaint, it's the beginning of the sentence. "There are children everywhere, *and no one's going to the bathroom."*
@eggo4804 look she is not being a Karen. I don’t blame her. $400 a night is crazy just to get surrounded by babies who probably still suck their fingers. DISGUSTING!!!
@@BlazeBayBayIsAwesome I am from Michigan and went there it wasn't that bad. We didn't have to wait in line. Or pay $400 a night. You can literally get a discount if you have a special event. The time I went there was for my birthday. The Waterpark area is really meant for kids. Except for the waterslide
I LOVE how she says “It smells HIGHLY of chlorine” like what the HECK do you expect it to smell like??? Fresh flowers and a good day at the beach?? No! It’s for kids, having fun and letting the adults relax a bit!!
“I expect it to smell like Japanese cherry blossom spray from bath and body works”🤌🙄-💀💀
The smell of chlorine gets stronger the more it disinfects, so if that smell is too strong, maybe it’s time to change out the water
The regular smell of chlorine is fine, but when it smells extremely strong as she described in the video, it just means that the children have been using the restroom inside of the pool, and the more this happens the stronger the scent of chlorine gets.
the smell of chlorine isn’t actually chlorine, it’s the smell of URINE and chlorine 😭😭😭 so yes, they’re all smelling piss
The more pee in that pool the stronger that chlorines gonna smell
I completely disagree gwl is one of the best vacation Spots this lady’s just completely wrong plus she left out a bunch of stuff mini golf mini bowling amazing ice cream and nice rooms many nice food stores
(get this comment to the top so people who where thinking of not going after this)
It is an 9/10 place not long waits for water slides and cool areas for all ages
Oooo!!! Ice cream, too!! Ice cream is nice! Even if its cheap, i don't mind! Even if its just dip n dots, i dont mind! I really can't wait to go someday! Especially to do magiquest!!!!
THERE IS A SELF CHECK IN GUYS!
I went here over my spring break. And there both nothing wrong with it. Kids weren’t screaming. No lines for donuts. And no line to check in. She just had bad luck and choose the wrong time to go. This place is great
I went there last summer and agreed 100% it was really lovely actually.
@@its_lemon_19 i went for my birthday and it was the best
🤢
I agree with this but it was over summer
Yea I went when I was younger, in my experience the line to check in was probably 5 minutes, but the room wasn't ready when we got there. Also there was construction happening a lot of places. Really not as bad as she describes it though, made 8 year old me the happiest child on earth lol
Fun fact: Chlorinated water doesn't really have an odor. Its only until it mixes with... other liquids
please say sike
Nut?
@@okay__.they mean piss. Kids tend to do that a lot in pools…💀😭
@@littlepanic08 🤢
That’s wrong LOL, I mean you can even smell the cubes that you put in the water. They’re strong by themselves.
Facts. I’m also a lifeguard and if bodily fluids get in the water (namely diarrhea, vomit, or large quantities of blood), or someone poops in the pool, we remove any solid bits, and add chlorine.
Remember guys it’s a indoor family water park which means there should be no kids and hardly anyone there
“there’s kids everywhere” like what do you expect like are there supposed to be a bunch of adults running around playing mermaids
I think maybe she means bratty kids?
I'd be annoyed if there were bratty kids running around the halls..
Best comment
She missed the.most important part. They had to shut it down a few years ago because they had a really bad bedbug problem
Lmao
@@kscory8577 would you want them to keep the bedbugs?!
"There are children everywhere"
NO DIP IT'S A KIDS PLACE
The problem isn’t the kids themselves, it’s the peeing in the water, many adults do this too 😷
It is a kids place but they Market it for every age of every member of your family from toddler to adult
"If Motel 6 and Chuckie Cheese had a baby, this would be it!" Hilarious!🤣🤣🤣
@@JoseGarcia-gu4ubThis is an issue at pretty much every water park. When I was a kid, on my way to the bathroom because I was raised right, I heard a little girl shout to her mom that she had to pee and the mom yelled back just go in the water. The bathroom was maybe 15ft from them.
I think she meant there are kids everywhere without an adult
I have to disagree with you on this one. This is a great weekend getaway. The employees do a great job of cleaning and plenty of people use the bathroom. The kids love it and had tons of fun
Why are people defending these low standards?
I was at a waterpark it was packed, yet zero line and $20 ticket for the entire day. Nearby hotel $80 a night (I don't think that's cheap). But that's $100 a day with zero lines and their paying $400 for lower standards. You guys really don't see the issue with that?
My parents would take us to places designed for kids to be loud and have fun then punish us and get annoyed because they were surrounded by kids who were being loud and having fun. Why do people who can't handle this shit have kiiiiids 😭
They tolerate your loudness, other kids doing it is annoying 😭
This women just hates native Americans
Many people don't actually want kids but feel socially and culturally pressured into having them.
@@Ghostbeardoesxtc verrrrry horrible choice of words
@@Ghostbeardoesxtcwha- huh- how??
“There’s children everywhere” ma’am this is a water park
U know what else she went to the water park In Ohio I went to great wolf love there was no line quick service and no games broke
Fr 🤣🤣
I thought it was supposed to be a senior citizen spa lol
This is great Wolf Lodge. It’s supposed to be for families and fun if you don’t like it that much and want it to be a couples only zone, then go to the Bahamas or something. This is for families, you can’t just expect every single place like Disney is not going to have children . and besides some children do behave like my family and we have a family of nine! Also EVERY pool smells like chlorine, would you rather have the pool treated or just have the pool full of pee and poop and dead skin? THIS IS FOR FAMILIES! And it can even be for couples to… so if you really don’t like children that much, then go to somewhere where there’s no children
Yeah bro, I hate it when I find kids having fun at a place made for kids to have fun.
(Anyway, I’ve been there before, and it’s SUPER fun.)
"I went to a place for kids to play and they were playing!!!!"
For real though. When I went the walls were thick so you never heard anyone out in the halls, they DID have a mobile check in so it took not even 5 minutes and they had everything really clean and top notch chlorine, so I'm not too worried. Was a great thing to do with my family and I have a lot of great experiences here!!
Fr i get great sleep there (if im not bothered by my dads snoring)
@@willynillylilly72 oh God the snoring is unbearable
That is good to hear!
@@Temptazer fr 😭
@@willynillylilly72 I just get a constant non stopping fan noise, plug in my earbuds, and put the volume up all the way. Works like a charm!!!!your phone has to be 60% charged or higher for it to continue all night, then plug it in when everyone is awake. Or you can bring a portable charger and charge it throughout the day depending on what you are doing. You can also use a wireless charger and use earbuds at night, but I don’t recommend using a charger with AirPods… if they fall out of your ears in the middle of the night and then you wake up you have to strip your sheets and turn on the lights to find them. Hope this helped ❤
“There is children everywhere” ma’am it’s an indoor water park what do you expect?
Don’t think you understand what she meant, that sentence was followed with “and none of them are going to the bathroom” and those two sentences are one sentence. She’s saying they’re using the bathroom they just aren’t going to THE bathroom
@@keegandaugherty8277 yuh that’s what chaotic children do
@@We.should.start.the.apocalypse not justifiable..oh kids will pee in a pool full of other kids because they will just be kids. like nooo
@@basiclynx yeah but seriously what does she expect? It’s not ok but it’s how it is.
Either way this is a vacation stop for kids a warning is cool a boycott is unnecessary
Ok so let me tell you my experience with GFL.. back when it was Key Lime Cove, maybe mid 2010s, my family and I decided to go for a mini vacation. I was maybe between 14-16, I’ve had a lot of medical issues since I was 9 (briefly: I had a car accident, was left paralyzed with some of medical issues and lots of surgeries and delicate health the first 10ish years after the accident) and I couldn’t travel for long, I’m from Chicago so my family and I went up to Waukegan where Key Lime Cove is (was, now it’s Great Wolf Lodge). If I remember correctly we stayed a weekend or so, just a few days. Yes, check-in was LONG, but the adults handled that. Just a bar and arcade/mall food restaurants, if you wanted something good and not super overpriced you should of packed your own lunch and dinner. My brother and I went off with one of my aunts to look around. Everything visibly approachable was “clean” (wiped down) but if you looked just a bit closer, you’ll find dirt and dust everywhere.. meaning, benches and chairs were clean on the front were you sit but if you grabbed the chair from the back, your hand was covered in dirt or grease or something dirty. Tables clean from the top but had smeared food on the edges that was visibly old.
Before you reached the area where the indoor water is, honestly halfway down the hallway, you get hit with a whiff of hot chlorine water. Yes, it’s an indoor water park BUT the lack of ventilation was the problem here, it gave people headaches, and I know this by the amount of people we saw going up to the counter asking the receptionist people for pain killers - which were directed to the gift shop for them. Imagine taking a hot steaming shower, pouring chlorine on the floor and sitting in the bathroom with the door and window locked, just breathing in the fumes. So much chlorine that you could see it in the water. Looking at this video alone I can already remember the smell. I understand it’s a kids park, but safety is still safety.
Now, the rooms, the wheelchair accessible rooms were a bit small and only the bathroom was accessible meaning the door was wide and it had a roll-in shower, rooms did not have enough space to move around and the beds were high (we asked, they said they did not have low beds or bigger rooms). I was with my family, the could help me get in bed, but if you didn’t have someone to help you out your chair, you weren’t sleeping that night.. the bathroom had no ventilation, neither did the room. It was hot and we could still smell the chlorine. The beds were ok clean, the room too….where the eye could see. The window panes could have possibly been creating new deseases.. as I was getting ready for bed, I used the headboard to lift myself up and when I ran my finger over the top edge, so much dust came falling down on my face that I thought it was a spider, it was disgusting and proved that the staff only cleans were you can see and where you can’t, it’s best not to look.. we didn’t think it would be this bad, we had some expectations (knowing it is a busy resort and staff can only do so much) so my mom was mom-prepared: she wiped down everything around me, we had our own towels and blankets - again, I’m not trying to make us sound entitled or picky or anything, I was sick and was preparing for huge major surgery and my family wanted us to take a trip before I went under the knife but we couldn’t go anywhere also due to my health so we settled for something kinda close, kinda affordable and just hoping it would take my mind off my upcoming surgery. We should have done better research..
My situation was that I caught an infection from this place. A bad one. After the first night, with everyone getting a headache from the chlorine and my the room situation, my mom decided to cut the trip short and we left a day early. By Saturday night we were packing, we stayed only ONE night..
a couple of days later, I started showing symptoms of an infection, I was shivering so much from the fever that you couldn’t understand what I was saying, I had blue lips and fingernails, vomiting, extreme headaches, really really bad all within a day maybe - again, my immune system reacts differently, I’ve had infections without fevers and fainting spells from headaches, just poor health. My parents rushed me to the hospital, I got admitted and was given antibiotics and steroids along with morphine for my headache (I have a history of chronic migraines so whenever I’m hospitalized and I get a headache I get the big drugs). I was worsening by the hour. Monday night/Tuesday morning, I was admitted into pediatric intensive care, hallucinating from the pain and the fever, the infection was reaching my bloodstream and doctors were afraid I was going to get a seizure. (I’m not medical student and I don’t remember details of that night as I was off in lalaland but all of this is from what I remember from my chart, doctor follow up conversations and treatments I remember) They brought in some kind of ultrasound machine to look for a specific vein in my wrist and in my groin area to put an IV for some special medicine to help with my condition. This happened all through the night, I was vomiting, crying, hallucinating, high fever, literally almost dying.. after all tests and everything came back, it turned out I had a severe sinus infection from the dust and I guess inhaling chemical particles or something like that. Doctors asked what we had done recently, if I had left the country or taken a trip or had been around high-chemical areas, we told them about our trip and 1 Peds nurse mentioned being familiar with the place as she had another patient not so long before (it was the end of summer) also come in with an infection after going to KLC and apparently many kids end up sick after visiting places like that: I’m sure it all depends on the place, your health, and many other things but for ME, it put my life at risk. Mind you, I never even set foot in the indoor pool, I couldn’t stand the smell near the area alone, my brother did and he came back up to the room smelling like chlorine, he showered right after but I guess the room having no ventilation was enough for the particles to remain. I did go to the arcade room which was kinda near the pool area (you could smell it) but I was there for maybe half an hour before going back to my room. Docs think that’s how I caught it plus the lack of cleaning in the room itself. I have sinus issues now, I can’t smell strong odors without almost passing out, I take antibiotics for life and I have 2 nasty scars from the IVs (I don’t heal well).. my mom still has the text messages on her phone from that night, she messaged my dad back home to pray as things were not looking good.
Everyone has a different experience and some people just run with better luck than others. I however, understand this video 1000% and would never go back no matter what.
Yes my family and I could have done better research, we could have done something different or gone somewhere else, but we didn’t, you don’t think things could get this bad (and we thought we were prepared by bringing in our own stuff) when you’re trying to do something to literally distract yourself from a scary situation already. We wanted to have a nice family time before my surgery and this is the experience we got.
I’m so glad the comment section is actually smart rn
As someone who went to a Great Wolf Lodge, It was an amazing experience and no construction was happening. Kids weren’t yelling and the check in line wasn’t that long. The Donut line was long but went by quite fast. Saying all this, I just wanna include that not everyone has the same experience in everything! I am also sorry to anyone whom has had a bad experience.
Me to was a 7/10
You used the word “whom” wrong. “Who” would be right there lol
I’m just messing with you
I had a great time with my kids. When we went they were having dancing and bubbles for the kids. No construction no waiting for check in and didn’t pay close to that price per night
@optic shadow what location did you go to i want to visit charlotte
They probably just went to a busier one in like California or something
"There are children everywhere" babe this is a water park
Yeah my impression from this video is this lady is an entitled jerk. Don’t get offended by kids enjoying things they were meant to enjoy wtf
Lol
That’s not the full sentence, but hey man nice dunk that was cool
"... and nobody is going to the bathroom." That was her point
@@abanana6431 Yea but who expects kids who’re having fun playing in water to wanna use the bathroom?
My kids absolutely love GWL. But the check in lines are superblong during peak times, lackluster in house dining and kids running around are all present.
