Great Wolf Lodge's biggest sale of 2023 is almost here. How you can score an $84 room
Great Wolf Lodge is bringing back its biggest annual flash sale — this time including dates just before the December holidays.
The popular chain of family-friendly hotels, whose features include elaborate indoor water parks and other play areas, will offer its annual 8/4 Day sale on Friday, Aug. 4. The day and name of the sale relate to the water park's consistent 84-degree temperature.
As the name suggests, guests can find room rates as low as $84. The sale is good for stays at all Great Wolf Lodges nationwide, including the Great Wolf Lodge Arizona location in the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community near Scottsdale.
But you'll have to act quickly to get the deal: The sale is for one day only.

How does Great Wolf Lodge's 84-degree sale work?
Rates start at $84 per night for single- and multiple-night stays. Some rooms and nights cost more. Reservations are nonrefundable.
Flash sale rates are available on select Sunday through Thursday nights from Aug. 4 to Dec. 23. Most of the $84 rooms are available after Labor Day; blackout dates apply.
The 84-degree sale rate isn't available Fridays, Saturdays or holidays such as Labor Day and Columbus Day.
The sale rate does not include taxes or the resort fee of $40 per night. The resort fee covers internet, virtual concierge, water park amenities like life jackets and towels, and arts and crafts projects during children's entertainment programs.

What's new about the 2023 Great Wolf Lodge sale?
This year's promotion differs from the 2022 flash sale in that you can now use the deal on Sunday stays.
Eligible dates go as far as Dec. 23, aiming to attract winter holiday visitors. Last year, the sale wasn't valid for stays after Dec. 15.
Select dates are available during the resort's seasonal celebrations, Howl-O-Ween at Halloween and Snowland at Christmas.

What is the fine print for the Great Wolf Lodge 84-degree sale?
The sale must be mentioned at the time of reservation.
A limited number of rooms and suites are available at the sale rate. Discounts vary by date.
The offer is based on occupancy of four guests per room; at least one must be 21 or older.
How does Great Wolf Lodge's deal compare to Groupon?
Groupon has its own discount for one- and two-night stays at Great Wolf Lodge, with 40% to 60% off depending on the day, length of stay and room type.
The deal is available on select Sundays through Thursdays until November. Free cancellation is available up until nine days before the stay.
Groupon currently offers two nights in a Great Wolf Lodge Arizona family suite for $374.09 for a Nov. 12-14 stay, including taxes and resort fees, during the fall/winter high season in Phoenix.
People booking the same room directly with the resort on a typical day without a flash sale would pay $514.84.
