Pools & the signature amenity

Great Wolf Lodge Manteca – Pools & the signature amenity

Great Wolf Lodge’s defining feature is its indoor water park, available to suite guests from open to close.

  • 95,000 sq ft indoor water park kept at 84°F year-round with lazy river, multiple waterslides, splash pad and a children’s pool.
  • Outdoor pool and cabana rentals are also available; lifeguards staff the water areas.
  • Water-park wristbands issued only to guests listed on the reservation.

Great Wolf’s indoor water park is the primary reason families choose the property — the stay includes direct access.

Fairfield Inn & Suites – Pools & the signature amenity

Fairfield Inn & Suites offers a single outdoor pool as part of its select-service amenities.

  • Number of outdoor pools: 1 (supplier listing).
  • Pool is an added recreation option but not a large attraction like Great Wolf’s water park.
