welcome to gma and gpa adventures do the great wolf lodge in traverse city michigan.
ah here we go.
oh look how pretty.
it looks like the wilderness lodge at disney.
it says summer camp in - your summer is calling.
look at the big totem poles.
that's kind of cool.
oh look at the doors.
they have like trees and wolves on them.
the lobby is on what they consider the second floor.
and there's some cool decorations in the lobby.
i like the antler chandeliers.
and all the mounts that are on the wall.
huge fireplace.
there's the check-in desk.
this looks like a big log cabin.
the grand lobby is a place to go to meet the great wolf lodge characters, and enjoy story
time, the dance party, and other events.
let's get a nice photo for the paparazzi.
here in the lobby you can see the great clock tower show with moving and singing characters.
these are the animatronics that are in the show.
very cool.
while we're here they're doing it three times a day,
in the morning and then two times in the evening.
so there should be a time when you can work it into your schedule while you're here.
preparing
i've come to share with you a little forest history.
the camp critter bar and grill is a great restaurant and it's located just off of the
grand lobby.
that is a cool looking restaurant.
it looks like you're in a forest.
here's another part of the dining room.
in the mornings this room is where they have a really nice breakfast buffet. it's a good
idea to make reservations ahead of time.
adjacent to the grand lobby is a dunkin donuts. and we went there several times for coffee,
donuts, and breakfast sandwiches.
it was really handy to have it there.
there's the big gift shop the buckhorn exchange.
you'll find a lot of different things here in the gift shop.

on your refrigerator on the year round and then move it to your tree.
