That said, any age guest will find plenty to please them.

Kids this age are likely to love everything: splashing around the water park, seeing the characters, and participating in Kids Klub activities. The Lodge & Water Park are most ideal for ages 3 to 8. Nearby, our family has also loved visiting The World Awareness Children's Museumand The Hyde Collection, both in Glens Falls. They'll feel grown-up making the decisions, and you may be able to avoid fielding constant requests. Have kids weigh their options, consider what they'd like to experience versus acquire souvenirs, and negotiate with each other. Arcade tokens, for example, cost $1 for 4 or $20 for 100, crafts at the Kids Klub range from $3 to $10, while specialty activities with the characters are $12/child. Set an 'extras' budget for each child before the trip and then stick to it. In fact, it presents you with a terrific opportunity to provide your kids with an economics lesson. There's also a stand inside the water park with airbrush tattoos, hair wrapping, and feather extensions.Īlmost all of these activities have costs associated with them.

Attractions Beyond The Water ParkĪround the lodge, there's much more for kids to see and do, including the Star Light Arcade and the Kids Klub, which offers free activities, daily crafts, and specialty activities with various characters. Not surprisingly, my personal favorite attraction was the grown-ups-only hot tub which was so cleverly concealed behind fake boulders that you could almost forget that you were at a water park. With Boogie Bear Surf, folks can belly-board for a timed turn stand-up surfing lessons are also available for older kids. why, oh why, do they love to do that so much? Tall Timbers Treehouse is a splashy playground with smaller slides, Tak-It-Eesi Creek is a lazy river that includes plenty of opportunities for children to maneuver their mothers under spraying water. My kids loved the whole idea of the tubes jutting outside of the building, but for both of these, you're falling through the dark, so you don't actually see outside. The Avalanche uses family-sized rafts, which is great way for the younger or more timid members of your party, and the Glacier Run and Snow Shoe Falls are for solo tubers who are at least 42' tall. The water park features a variety of attractions including two big tall-and-twisty tube slides that were my daughters' favorites. These rooms book early and they're $20 to $50 more per night than the Traditional Suites, but they are super-cool and include a gaming station, like a 9-year-old's fantasy room.

The adults get a double bed, and the kids sleep in bunk beds enclosed in a fort-like cabin area. If you want a special treat, there are great new Klub Moose 'Adirondack Cabin' rooms, which have a built-in cabin area for kids within the room. Although you can visit the water park for the day (check online, but when I looked, these passes ran $30-$45), it's absolutely a better deal to do an overnight, which will include passes for all guests for the length of your stay. The lobby is beautiful, with plenty of clusters of comfy sofas, and even the most basic rooms (called Traditional Suites) offer a generous amount of room, a divider between sitting and sleeping areas, and a small microwave along with the mini-fridge. The woodsy Adirondack theme is carried throughout the lobby, rooms, and the water park itself, giving you the feel of a full-fledged resort vacation-even if you're only staying a night or two-that you can't get from an overnight at your local hotel with a pool.

Lodge Amenitiesīeyond its location, the lodge is just a pleasant place to gather with your friends and family. Located in Queensbury, NY, it's just across the street from Great Escape, a few minutes away from West Mountain, and centrally located between other family attractions in Lake George and Glens Falls. The Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Water Park is situated perfectly for a mini getaway for families from New York City, Boston, Montreal, Buffalo, and the Capital District of New York.
