Great Wolf Lodge Grand Mound, Centralia

The heart and soul of Great Wolf Lodge - Grand Mound is its 56,000-square-foot indoor water park. Splashy rides such as the Howlin’ Tornado—an enclosed water slide that shoots you through a six-story funnel—and a zero-depth-entry wave pool with 3-foot swells surround the park’s iconic hub: a four-story treehouse with a 1,000-gallon tipping bucket. Younger kids will have a blast with the water slides and gentle spray features of Cub Paw Pool.

The water park, which hovers around 84 degrees all year long, isn’t the resort’s only family-friendly activity. Guests will also find an arcade with more than 100 games and glow mini golf at Howl at the Moon.
