At a time when the kids were home from school due to a professional activities day, we decided to take a road trip to Niagara Falls and book a stay at one of our family-favourite resorts, Great Wolf Lodge, known for its indoor waterpark.
Prior to the pandemic, we visited this resort around once a year. This trip would become our first trip back since the pandemic began, and the kids were really excited.
As much as they enjoy flying, it was nice to be able to pack light and not have to make the journey to the airport. Instead, we packed up the car and made the short trip down to Niagara Falls for some family fun.

It’s a perfect stay to use it for, as because the resort doesn’t participate in any member reward programs, I don’t have to worry about elite benefits not being honoured due to booking through a third-party service.
