We just got back from an amazing staycation getaway from Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City. Great Wolf Lodge gave us Pup & Paw Passes for our girls and a $50 dining credit in exchange for this promotional post.

Great Wolf Lodge – Traverse City: Saving Money
Rosa and Carlyn both received a Paw Pass and Naomi received a Pup Pass courtesy of Great Wolf Lodge.
The Paw Pass Package Includes:
- One MagiQuest game
- Choice of classic or color wand, standard topper, magi belt or compass
- One Creation Station animal (outfit not included)
- One Clubhouse Crew Adventure
- One 12 oz. candy cup
- One pair of Great Wolf Lodge goggles
- One Glitz Glitter Tattoo
- One Leather Treaty bracelet
- 20 Paw Points for Northern Lights Arcade
The Pup Pass Package Includes
- One Creation Station animal (outfit not included)
- One Clubhouse Crew Adventure
- One Color-Your-Own t-shirt or pillow case at Cub Club
- 20 Paw Points for Northern Lights Arcade
- One 12 oz. candy cup
- One single scoop of ice cream from Bear Paw Sweets & Eats
So, is it worth it? The Paw Pass is currently $69.99 and gives you a $109.93 retail value. We likely could have easily skipped the candy cup, goggles, tattoo, and bracelet. But IMO the MagiQuest game, wand, stuffed animal and bowling (one game is 20 Paw Points) were all musts for a first-time visit.

The girls really love their stuffed animals from the Creation Station. Each girl got to pick out their own character and watch them be filled with stuffing. Then they took their stuffies on an adventure that led them to various locations all around the hotel, including the arcade where they got to play a free game of whack-a-mole. The adventure took us about thirty minutes to complete.

We picked up a couple of pairs of goggles (great for use in the water park) and Rosa and Carlyn got a tattoo on our last day.
As mentioned earlier we used our 20 Paw Points for Northern Lights Arcade at Ten Paw Alley to go bowling. The alley is a bit different. The half-length lanes, five-pound balls, and optional gutter bumpers make the game super easy for the little ones.
Overall, we had such a great time at Great Wolf Lodge and highly recommend the Paw Passes for your children.
