What other pass options are there?
As I mentioned, there is also a pup or wolf pass.
Each pass is a little different as each resort is a little different.
What is included in the Pup Pass?
Great Wolf Lodge Pup Pass are for the younger guests and include: One Build-a-Bear Animal, arcade card with 20 points, 12oz candy cup, swim googles, one single scoop ice cream.

The Pup pass is intended for younger guests. I would say under 5 years old. However, it does not come with a wand and if you have older children, your younger one will probably want to have their own wand to play along.
What is included in the Wolf Pass?
The Wolf Pass has the most things to do: choice of MagiQuest or ShadowQuest game, choice of classic or coloured wand, standard wand topper or Magi belt, one round of golf, Maze entry, 20 points Paw Points arcade games card, 12oz candy cup from the gift shop, one single scoop ice cream from Bear Paw Sweets, swim goggles.
The Wolf Pass costs $59.99
The Wolf pass works for all ages but is designed for older kids who are going to be able to get more done during your visit. It is also idea for those staying a little longer or have more time at the resort.
As I mentioned, each resort’s pass may be a little different as each resort offers different amenities. When you book, check which amenities are included in your chosen resort.
Is the Great Wolf Lodge Paw Pass Worth it?
Overall, the choice is up to you, but if you want to buy souvenirs or have a few more family-fun experiences, the passes will be worth it for your visit.
