"Great family fun!"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
We love going to GWL, the staff is fantastic, friendly and really have fun with the kids. The lifeguards and water park staff are all very diligent and make it feel like a safe environment. There is no shortage of activities to occupy your time! If you go to GWL with the understanding that it is a vacation for your kids and lean into the chaos of children living their best lives and just enjoy how much fun your kids are having then you will love it.
