About the Great Wolf Lodge in Anaheim

12681 Harbor Boulevard

Garden Grove, California 92840 

Great Wolf Lodge was originally started as a local water park in the Wisconsin Dells in 1997. While stunning water parks remain at the heart of each Great Wolf Lodge location, the resorts have made it a family favorite destination across the country. The Anaheim Great Wolf Lodge location was built in 2016. The location is just 15 minutes away from Disneyland, letting you pack in as much adventure as you’d like over your stay. You’re also near LA, giving you access to incredible restaurants and activities. Each overnight stay gives you complimentary access to the water park as well as the engaging kids’ events. It’s truly one of the few kid-friendly resorts in the area!

Services

The waterpark at Great Wolf Lodge Anaheim offers adventures to both visitors and hotel guests. The entire thing is built indoors and kept at a balmy 84 degrees year-round. There’s a four-story treehouse where kids can race down slides or play with water toys. The Crooked Creek lets you relax on a lazy river, while the River Canyon Run lets your family experience the thrills of rafting. There are slides and pools for all ages, as well as a toddler area where younger kids can safely play. 

If you’re looking to stay dry, you can head over to the arcade or the bowling alley and get in some games. The resort features an interactive live-action game, mini golf, and a Build-a-Bear.
