Great Wolf Lodge Day Passes are Now Available!
(This article has been updated in March 2023.)
This is the day many of us were waiting for.
Day passes are now available at Great Wolf Lodge, granting access to its waterparks for a day.
The passes are available at all Great Wolf Lodge locations nationwide, including Bloomington, Minnesota and the Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin.
The cost is not cheap though. It’s $100 for a day pass, and this only includes the waterpark. To me you might as well stay overnight for the full experience (keep reading for some deals on a stay).
If you do just want to go for a day though, a day pass includes:
- All-day fun at our 84-degree indoor water park
- Free life jackets for all the family
- Access to over 50 activities, including our Adventure Park with ropes course, rock wall, bowling, arcade and more (many of which are at additional cost)
- Live Entertainment and character appearances
- Restaurants and stores at your service
- Exclusive Member Deals.
- Free passes for kids under 2.
Ever since the Water Park of America closed and was replaced by the Great Wolf Lodge of Minnesota in 2017, families here in Minnesota have been mourning having daytime access to the indoor waterpark there. When I first posted about my first tour of the Great Wolf Lodge in Bloomington, families asked me about the day passes and sadly, you could only use the waterpark if you were a guest. But now the option is available.
With a day pass, you are welcome to do any of the other activities like the ropes course, bowling, arcade and mining, but you have to pay separately for those just like regular hotel guests do.
There are limits on day passes purchased, though, so it doesn’t get too full. They will be actively managing the number of waterpark day passes sold for each day. The quantity of water park day passes available on a given day is based on the projected number of rooms occupied at the resort on that day. This way the Great Wolf Lodge can maintain “a safe, comfortable and enjoyable waterpark experience for all guests.”
You will only be able to get day passes online at least 24 hours in advance. More info on their website.
Unfortunately there are no discounts on this day pass right now, but you can save on a stay in a room right now.

This summer the Great Wolf Lodge is having their first annual “Summer Camp-in” through Labor Day with pool parties, barbecue buffets, and stories around the fire, which makes it a good reason to just stay overnight.
