Located near Sandusky on US 250 just north of Route 2 and the Ohio Turnpike, Great Wolf Lodge is likely to make Sandusky a year-round tourist destination. Along with 271 suites, Great Wolf Lodge (formerly known as Great Bear Lodge) features one of the world's largest indoor waterparks for year-round fun.

Bear Track Landing is the water park, boasting seven waterslides, five pools, and a four- story fort. An outdoor pool and play area is also open during the warmer months. Bear Track Landing is a constant 70 degrees, with water heated to 83 degrees, so it's never too cold. Fort Mackenzie, a million-dollar, four-story tree fort, is the heart of Bear Track Landing, along with a 1000-gallon bucket that dumps on everyone below every five minutes. There are also video game rooms, saunas, and more.

Targeted toward families with children under 14, Great Wolf Lodge is a family getaway open 365 days a year.
