Indoor water park resort-Great Wolf Lodge
On the Chehalis Reservation in Grand Mound, Washington

Our all new (open July 2009) Tadpole Pond takes the famous Great Wolf indoor waterpark fun -- outdoors. With over 4,000 square feet of water fun and sun deck space, it's the place to be if you don't want to miss out on a much-valued sunny day in the Pacific Northwest. Your kids will love the 200-gallon dumping bucket and several interactive water toys and spray features. And since it is a spray deck with no standing water, it's a great place for the pre-swimmers who don't quite have their "sea legs" yet. So bring your sunscreen and magazines. Kick back in a lounge chair and soak it all in.
