FAQs
This particular event won't work for me. When are the other Homeschool Weeks scheduled?
Per our contract with Great Wolf Lodge, we cannot release the dates of subsequent Homeschool Weeks until our current event has ended. However, we typically try to arrange these events in February, May, September, and December.
Please check back on our website and/or social media channels once the current event has ended!
Can I buy day passes for the event?
Great Wolf Lodge does sell a small number of day passes. We do not receive a discount on these, and with our great rates, it’s usually more economical to book a night and get 6 wristbands with the room.
If you book a room, you can purchase up to 2 additional day passes during the check-in for $25 each (subject to change – please check with the event coordinator for current rate).
I tried to book a reservation using these coupon codes, but Great Wolf Lodge says it’s full. Can you add more rooms?
Most likely! Great Wolf Lodge only releases a certain number of rooms to us at a time, and sometimes those fill up before we realize we need to add more.
Please contact us with the dates and room type you are looking for, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you!
I’ve signed up for the Great Wolf Lodge Homeschool Weeks. Anything else I need to buy/purchase?
You do not need to purchase anything else in advance. At check-in, you’ll already be set for our room rates, you will not need to pay for parking, and you’ll be given wristbands color-coded for our group.
Whenever you purchase food or use our other discounts, just make sure the cashier knows to give you the group discount by showing your wristband.
Buckets, the concession stand inside the waterpark, previously did not have kiosks set up to give discounts. If you encounter any trouble, you may want to bypass the order kiosk & order in person with a cashier.
Should I purchase a food/activity package during the reservation process?
Our group discounts do not apply to those packages. Generally, using the group discount on site during the event is a better deal, but you’ll want to calculate what’s best for your individual family.
Can I have more info on the dining and concession discounts?
We recommend visiting the Great Wolf Lodge website’s “dining options” for specific menus and pricing.
Regarding breakfast buffet rates (as of May 2025; prices subject to change): $19.99 per adult; $9.99 per child (older than 3); and 3 and under FREE!
A la carte breakfast items are available at Bear Paw & Freshwoods Market.
Why am I being charged a cancellation fee?
Our free cancellation up to 72 hours before check-in is different from Great Wolf Lodge’s standard policy. Sometimes the Reservations team members do not understand what is in our specific contract.
Please go ahead and have them cancel your room to ensure you meet the 72-hour advance notice. Then contact us with your reservation number, and we’ll help resolve the situation.
We are at a Homeschool Week event. How do we use the additional discounts available for our group?
At check-in, you should receive a special-colored wristband specific to our group. To receive the group discounts, just show the cashier your wristband during the ordering process.
Sometimes the mobile app and order kiosks cannot apply our food discount, but a team member will be happy to take your order in person.
Can GWL meet my accessibility needs?
Yes! Accessible rooms can be made available at our great rates as needed. Please contact us to make that request. Please also visit GWL’s website directly for general accessibility information: https://www.greatwolf.com/kansas-city/accessibility

Great Wolf Lodge Homeschool Week Testimonials
“We are booked and we can’t wait to celebrate the kids’ birthdays again while we are there!!! Thanks again so much for allowing us this discount on the rooms and the places within GWL! Our kids LOVE this!”
Lauren Michelle
“This was an extremely well needed break for the family! Our kids have been asking to go for a year and thanks to homeschool days we were able to afford a two-night stay for their end of year celebration! We love being able to swim and have the Magi quests to keep the kids entertained! Our favorite moment this last time was when we arrived (late due to schedules) and the kids walked into the dance party. They were SO excited already seeing the hotel and that just put a cherry on top for them!”

Quick question, we looked into reserving the Deluxe Wolf Den but instead of $209, the rate was $399. Is the price on this posting incorrect or is there possibly an issue with the Great Wolf Lodge website? Thank you for the help!
The Deluxe Wolf Den should be $209.99 with the discount code. If you’re still not getting the correct rate with the discount code, please contact us. Additionally, you can call Great Wolf Lodge Reservations directly at 800-608-9653.
Is this the price per night or for the the 3 days?
It’s the price per night!
Does this discount only qualify if your staying overnight? Or does it qualify for day passes?
It only qualifies if you’re staying for at least one night. Hope this helps!

Is there a minimum number of nights that you must book in order to get the discounted rates for homeschoolers? Are we able to just book one night?
Yes, you are able to book just one night to get the discounted rates for homeschoolers!
