旅行顾问应该知道关于大狼旅馆的知识
byBill Fink/Great Wolf Lodge, the family destination waterpark resorts chain recently announced it will be expanding its footprint of 19 nationwide destinations with four additional locations: Maryland (opening mid-2023), Connecticut, Florida and Houston, Texas (2024 target dates).
虽然客人通常会直接保留在Great Wolf Lodge上,但旅行社可以根据特定地点的政策获得预订客户的佣金。根据Great Wolf Lodge网站的说法,“旅行社可以通过预订中心或使用其IATA编号进行预订或GDS系统预订时获得最佳可用费率佣金。”
The indoor waterparks make for a great winter escape, and deals and special offers can often be found in non-holiday timing, so check the伟大的狼交易页面最新。
度假村
大狼旅馆的基本概念是一个以家庭为主题的独立酒店和娱乐中心,围绕水上乐园建造,其中包含多家餐厅和其他景点。
与家人一起,我参观了南加州(阿纳海姆),北加州(曼特卡)和华盛顿州(大土墩)的大狼旅馆地点。我发现功能,房间,餐馆,景点,整体氛围在各个地方都非常标准,这意味着客人可以相信他们在任何伟大的狼目的地都会有类似的体验。
The Water Parks Within Great Wolf Lodges
The water parks are the major attraction at any given Great Wolf Lodge. Most are indoor-outdoor combinations, with the bulk of features inside the building. They’re massive spaces, up to 105,000 square feet, heated to a tropical 84 degrees.
The waterparks feature a handful of taller, longer water slides, requiring a climb up three stories of stairways. Some of the steeper slides have a 48” height limit for kids. Riders can descend the slides singly or in groups of up to five on large inflatable innertubes. The steeper slides I can attest can be thrill rides even for adults!
Smaller kids and toddlers can frolic in smaller wading pools with play features, and hop on pint-sized and mid-range slides for some manageable fun. A large wave pool provides some body-bobbing fun for kids and more mellow adults.
游泳池提供基本的游乐园式零食,例如披萨,热狗和汉堡,并为父母提供了啤酒和果味鸡尾酒吧的更多吸引力。
MagiQuest a Major Attraction
For many kids, Great Wolf Lodge’s “MagiQuest” is just as fun as the water park. In MagiQuest, kids (and some teens and adults, including enthusiasts in full wizard costumes) use an electronic wand device to go on a scavenger hunt-type journey around the hallways and common areas of the hotel. Solving riddles, using clues, and gathering electronic coins, MagiQuesters can spend many hours over multiple days to slay dragons and achieve goals on multiple levels of different challenges. The electronic wand is an extra charge, included with most activity packages, with additional accessories available for purchase.
全部活动
Beyond the waterpark, Great Wolf Lodge is packed with enough activities to keep a family fully entertained for a weekend. Clients should be cautioned that unlimited activities can tax the pocketbook with supplemental charges, so families should plan ahead and purchase more cost-efficient inclusive packages if they expect to do the full circuit.
活动包括一系列令人眼花thr乱的闪烁,铃声,唱歌和建筑选择。Great Wolf Lodge Arcades配备了最新的视频游戏,以及Skee Ball,Claw Toy Gotbing Machines,甚至Whack-A-Mole等旧收藏夹。玩家可以赢得大量的门票以交换大多数垃圾奖品,但一些奖金奖励自行车或视频游戏机。
Other activities include a Build-a-Bear Workshop where guests assemble stuffed animals and dress them up (for additional charges). Neon miniature golf courses, mirror mazes, prospector-style gem hunting sluices, and ropes courses add to the activity slate.
Great Wolf Lodge also offers free (yes, free!) crafting activities, sing and dance-along, story times, and mascot meet-ups at regularly scheduled times all day through early evening. These activities are geared more toward the 7-and-under crowd, but crafty kids of all ages do get involved.
假期是大狼小屋的大型活动,尤其是他们以有趣的装饰,其他活动和节日环境的圣诞节主题冬日节和万圣节庆祝活动。期望预订在这些时期会更加忙碌,因此请提前计划。
食物和住宿
伟大的狼旅馆客人可以选择普通和豪华的女王套房,配有两张床和一张卧铺沙发(睡觉4-5)或优质的主题套房,其功能具有诸如Wolf-den Bunk Buck Room和Loc Cabin CabinDécor之类的功能。两居室套房最多可以入睡11位客人。
对于用餐,大狼旅馆在所有地点提供多家餐厅。选项包括静坐和自助餐式餐点,并提供酒精服务的附加功能,以帮助父母放松。宽敞的自助早餐是开始一天的好方法,而内部星巴克则提供了更轻松的选择。可以在全方位服务的餐饮场所找到一些更健康的票价,而糖果和冰淇淋店则提供放纵的甜点。
