Planning a trip to Great Wolf Lodge with toddlers? In 2024, we visited Great Wolf Lodge in Perryville, Maryland with our two toddlers (ages 2 and 4), and it quickly became a core family memory. From the excitement of staying in a Wolf Den Suite with bunk beds to hours of splashing in the indoor waterpark, our kids were absolutely in their element.

That said, traveling with toddlers always comes with its own challenges. During our stay, I learned what made the trip smoother—and what I’ll be doing differently next time. With another Great Wolf Lodge visit coming up soon (as a surprise overnight trip for our kids!), I’ve been reviewing our experience and updating our packing list and plans.

In this post, I’m sharing must-have items, practical tips for parents, and money-saving hacks to help you plan a stress-free and fun Great Wolf Lodge trip with toddlers.
