Built around a giant indoor/outdoor waterpark, the Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City, Mich., is a prime destination for family vacations. Three miles from downtown and nine miles from Cherry Capital Airport, Great Wolf Lodge is close to family-friendly activities such as the Great Lakes Children's Museum, Clinch Park Zoo and Grand Traverse Bay. For parents, Black Star Farms & Winery and Turtle Creek Casino are nearby.
Featuring eight water slides, five pools and a four- story interactive tree fort, the waterpark defines Great Wolf as a resort for kids and the young-at-heart. Older children can wind down the water slides while Mom and Dad enjoy the lazy river and smaller children play in the toddler area. Other attractions include Biko's 3-D Theater, the Northern Lights Arcade and the Rhythm of Nature Clock Show. Guests seeking relaxation can retreat to Elements Spa, where soft music and fragrant candles set the tone for pampering with a massage, facial or body treatment.

Two themed restaurants are available for hungry guests. Loose Moose Cottage features American dishes such as chicken, burgers and ribs. A heartier menu in a forest-like setting waits at Camp Critter Bar & Grill. Light fare and homemade fudge are available in the Bear Claw Café.

The colors of nature and rustic pine furnish the smoke-free, themed guest suites at Great Wolf Lodge. Four passes to the waterpark are included with guestrooms. Select suites include fireplaces and whirlpools.
