Great Wolf Lodge- A Perfect Summer Place for Family and Friends to Make Memories

The Poconos is loaded up with indoor waterparks everywhere you look at this point in time. There are plenty to choose from for sure. Although our family has visited most of them, we just keep coming back to our old favorite. Are you looking for a great place to grab the family and friends to join together and have an awesome time? Look no farther than Great Wolf Lodge. Recently our family visited Great Wolf Lodge, Poconos. Although we travel all around, one of our favorite places to just chill out and be together as a family is less than two hours from NYC and minutes over the PA border. People constantly ask us how we can keep going back to the same place time after time. We always have the same answer- It’s a great place to go with plenty of things to do and something for all ages. It’s a place you can bring all of your extended family and friends and just hang out-laughing and have fun.

Ten Things You Should Know Before You Go!

1. No Matter which room choice you make it will come equipped with a mini fridge and microwave. That means you can bring your own water and snacks! I’m sure you will want to test our some of the delicious treats sold at Great Wolf Lodge as well. They are hard to resist, but it will be great to have your own stash at hand for the in betweens. 

2. Bring your bathing suit. There are plenty of things to do at GWL without a bathing suit, but you definitely will want to take advantage of the waterpark while visiting. There is also an outdoor pool- so lotion is a must if you plan on swimming outdoors. If you do forget there is a swim shop!

3. Pre-purchase the breakfast or buy it at check in. You will get a better rate and will thank yourself in the morning when the scent of pancakes comes calling down your hallway.

4. Check out the Paw Pass! This handy little item combines most of the activities into a bundle at a discounted price. Most likely your child is going to want to play Magi Quest, play Glow Golf, visit Ten Paw Alley and more. You can save a bunch by taking advantage of the Paw Pass. Another perk is that you can share the items between your kids!

5. There are complimentary activities all day long! The morning starts off with Yoga Tales (kid’s yoga complete with yoga mat), the Wolf Walk, balloon makers, cookie decorating, all the way into the night which ends with a night story and meet up with your favorite GWL characters. On select nights there are even dance parties! All of these activities are included with your stay.

6. You can arrive early and stay late! If you are planning on one night you can arrive by 1pm and check in, grab your wristbands and head to the waterpark! The day of checkout you can play all day and use a locker and changing rooms at the waterpark. It will be the most action packed 24 hours ever!

7. Your wristband is your room key and can be used for charging. You don’t have to worry about leaving your valuables poolside. You can lock them up in the room safe and still have charging rights while you swim.

8. You do not need to bring towels! All towels are included at the waterpark!

9. For Mom and Dad there is a fitness center, 21+ whirlpools, and Elements Spa!

10. Have fun! Toddlers, Tweens and Teens don’t last forever. Make the years count and create memories that your family will cherish forever.

So grab the family this summer and head to Great Wolf Lodge! You can sign up for discounts to hit your inbox via https://www.greatwolf.com/ or check out groupon for more discounted rooms. If you are visiting the Poconos there are a lot of indoor water park choices at this point, but we just coming back to Great Wolf Lodge, they must be doing something right!

Also, check out the great time we had at the outdoor pool and cabana rental! So much fun!

Liberty Science Center Jack Horner’s Dino Dig- Giveaway

Calling all dinosaur fans. We have found something special just for you this summer. As if Liberty Science Center is not  already great enough to go to, it seems that it just got even better. From now through September 4th you can find Liberty Science Center decked out in dinosaurs from head to toe. We were excited to join Jersey Moms Media on a hosted blogger influencer tour of everything dinosaurs. Our group of chatty youngsters could not wait to learn everything they could about everything from the Cretaceous Period. The kids really enjoyed their hands on experience of uncovering an individual dinosaur fossil block which contained skeletal pieces of a dinosaur that could be pieced together to create a full dinosaur. It took a lot of work to uncover those pieces but it was worth it at the end! http://lsc.org/ Liberty Science Center has added Jack Horner’s Dino Dig site to its outside backyard. Your little paleontologist will be able to enter this realistic dig site and try their luck and skill at digging up some dinosaur bones, skeletons and fossils. Of course there will be plenty of guidance via the Dino Dig Guide Team that will be there to help answer questions and provide facts along the way. I was amazed to find out there was thirty five tons of sands and fifty replica fossils of creatures from the late Cretaceous Period. Wondering how Jack Horner’s Dino Dig got its name? Jack Horner was a paleontologist and the inspiration for the Michael Crichton novel and Steven Spielberg film, Jurassic Park. The dig site is modeled after the Hell Creek Formation in Montana, a site of study by Horner and his team. While using paleontologists’ tools including a brush you may uncover fossils from T-Rex, Triceratops, and others. When you visit Liberty Science Center feel free to stop at the Welcome Desk at the entrance for more details. Jack Horner’s Dino Dig is open not through Labor Day, September 4th from 10 am- 5:30 pm. Please note that this is a free activity included with LSC admission and is weather permitting. Children who come dressed wearing dinosaur themed clothes can save $5 off of a children’s admission ticket. Not valid on groups of more than four children at a time, online purchases or with any other discount. Offer ends September 4, 2017. In addition to all of the dinosaur fun, there is more than plenty to see and do at Liberty Science Center. You children can spend the day unplugged and learning while enjoying themselves with one of a kind exhibits and experiments.

GIVEAWAY: I’m sure by now you are ready to go to Jack Horner’s Dino Dig at Liberty Science Center. Great news for you, we are hosting a giveaway for a 4 pack of single day tickets to Liberty Science Center! You can spend the day learning about dinosaurs and everything else, too!
