The Great Wolf Lodge in Gurnee features an 80,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor waterpark that includes an interactive four-story water fort full of slides and toys for the littles. Younger children love to wait while the giant bucket at the top fills up with gallons of water and then comes splashing down on them. There is also a kiddie pool with gentle fountains and small water slides.
