Looking for a fun and quick getaway that the kids will LOVE? Columbus has not one, but two Great Wolf Lodge locations within easy driving distance!
Groupon is currently offering special deals for Great Wolf Lodge in Cincinnati and Sandusky (as well as other locations around the country). The offers depend on check-in date and the size of the room you choose, but you’ll pay less than the regular rate!
Each reservation includes hotel room, wristbands for the huge indoor waterpark for the day you check in (starting at 1 p.m.) and the day you check out, until closing (and any days in between). You’ll pay for 1 night and get 2 days of swimming, or pay for 2 nights and get 3 days of water park fun!
Great Wolf Lodge Cincinnati/Mason
The Cincinnati location features a 79,000-square-foot indoor water park, and is located a little over an hour from Columbus. Splashy rides such as the Hydro Plunge—a roller coaster/water slide hybrid—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 Whooping Hollow and Cub Paw Pool, plus character appearances, morning yoga, PJ party, storytimes, and more.
The water park, which hovers around 84 degrees all year long, isn’t the resort’s only family-friendly activity. You’ll also find Howl at the Moon Glow Golf and mini bowling at Ten Paw Alley. Other fun add-on activities include Creation Station, MagiQuest, ShadowQuest, 7 dining options, and more.
Cincinnati/Mason Great Wolf Lodge deals with Groupon start at $129/night for a family suite plus wristbands for up to 6 guests. Stay for six in a Family Suite or Wolf Den Suite, seven in a KidCabin Suite, or eight in a Loft Suite. Daily water park wristbands for each guest up to maximum occupants per room type are included.
With extended water park access, you can enter the water park at 1 p.m. on the day you check in and stay until close on the day you check out (essentially 2 days’ water park admission for each night you stay.

Splashy rides such as Alberta Falls—a four-story double-raft water slide—and a winding lazy river 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 Whooping Hollow. They also have an arcade with 100+ games, hands on crafts and activities at Cub Club for younger children, nightly story time with costumed characters, 5 dining options, and more!
