#GREAT WOLF LODGE MANTECA 2017 PLUS#
When compared to booking a hotel room, which has two days of water park access for all of the registered guests included in the rate plus free parking, Jacobsen told the crowd that for a family of four-plus, it typically pencils out better to rent a room instead of doing the day passes. Jacobsen wouldn’t give a price range for the passes, but a look at the July day-pass rate at the three closest Great Wolf resorts in Southern California, Washington and Colorado put the fee mid-week at $65-$80 per person and weekend rate at $90-$110 per person. The company is still evaluating the day-pass program, and prices are flexible based on dates and occupancy. “We don’t want you to stand in a Disney line at Great Wolf,” Jacobsen said. At other properties, the company is testing passes to allow non-hotel guests to use the water park based on occupancy levels. Andy Alfaro reiterated the company’s reasons for its hotel guest-only policy for its water park - safety and overall park enjoyment - but also introduced a new day-pass pilot program the resort has rolled out recently.
