I also try to wash everyone’s hands throughout the day and I carry hand-sanitizer with me as well.īut, when you’re in a place that designed for young children, and everything is touch focused (arcade games, crafts, the water park, buffet serving spoons), cross-contamination seems inevitable. I use disinfectant wipes all over our hotel room as soon as we arrive so I know our actual room was cleaned. It’s almost as though their system needs to get something out of it. He remained sick throughout the day (vomiting and warm to touch).

He too had a slight fever and a loss of appetite. The morning after we got back from the lodge, he woke in the early morning hours, vomiting in his bed. Then, our two-year-old started showing signs of feeling sick. He seemed to have a general unwell vibe going on. On our third day, when we left the lodge, he had no appetite and a slight fever. He kept asking to go back to the room and would lay down for nearly an hour at a time. Then, on this recent trip, for their Howl-o-ween event, our four-year-old seemed really off after our second day at the lodge. We simply coped with his symptoms and forgot all about it. There’s water spouting out from so many places that babies, toddlers and small children will inevitably end up consuming it throughout the day. After all, kids are spouting, snorting, swallowing and coughing it up all day. We figured it was just from too much dirty water getting into his system in the pool and on the slides.

On our first visit, in late spring, our youngest ended up with bad diarrhea and a sinus infection. But, it all seems a bit coincidental and peculiar. I also can’t say that my kids actually contracted an illness at GWL. I honestly have no clue what causes it, nor can I even diagnose what it is. I’ve heard other people speculate that the odd symptoms are from Ecoli, the food, or the water. I can now say, after two visits to Great Wolf Lodge (GWL) in the last six months, on both occasions our young children have gotten sick. But, we’re a family of hearty immune systems so I didn’t worry to much about the chatter. When we researched the topic online we found a lot of comments and reviews about families or children who’d gotten sick during their stay. We’d heard a lot of rumors from other parents about the mysterious ‘Great Wolf Lodge Flu.’ The more we asked about it, the more stories we heard.
