Great Wolf Lodge's $84 Sale: Expect it Back in 2027

There are plenty of ways to avoid paying full price at Great Wolf Lodge if you book early and watch for sales. But the $84 Flash Sale (officially called the 8.4 Day Sale) is famous. It happens every Aug. 4 (get it, 8/4?) and gives families a discounted room rate starting at $84 a night, which includes water park access.

When the sale goes live, rooms always go fast, so you'll want to be ready.

The $84 per night rate covers the first two people on your booking, and additional guests will have a fee of $20 a night.

The 8.4 Day Sale at Great Wolf Lodge is an annual 1-day event, with a promo code that gets you a room rate as low as $84 per night.

The Great Wolf Lodge 8.4 Day sale gets its name from both the date it happens (Aug. 4) and the 84-degree ambient temperature of these indoor water parks. Rooms start as low as $84 a night (includes two guests). You'll need to get the promo code from Great Wolf Lodge's site to get the rate.

This promo applies only to a certain range of dates, but it usually covers bookings into December.

Keep in mind, the $84 rate doesn't include parking and other fees.

Great Wolf Lodge 84-Degree Sale is always on Aug. 4, 2026 (but early access went live Aug. 3 in 2026).

The sale always happens on Aug. 4. In 2026, we noticed on the evening of Aug. 3 that the sale was already shoppable and being advertised as Early Access. So, in 2027 be ready for the possibility the sale could start the night before.

While rooms start at $84 a night, you'll probably end up paying more.

While the deal includes the room and water park admission, it doesn't cover resort fees (which are charged at some properties). Beyond the first two guests, you'll have to pay a per-person fee of $20 a night. Is it still worth it? Let's do the math.

Say you were booking for a family of four. It was $84 per night for the first two guests, and each additional guest cost $20 per night. You'd pay $124 per night ($31 per person per night) for a family of four.

If look up rooms for four at the Great Wolf Lodge in Chicago, Il., a one-night stay would normally cost $289 per night ($72.25) per person, meaning you would save 57%. Prices vary between locations, so you might end up saving more.

At $31 per person a night, this deal is worth booking and one of the better discounts Great Wolf Lodge offers throughout the year.

Expect there to be a limited number of rooms at the $84 rate.

The fine print for this promotion usually says "a limited number of rooms available for each date." So if you have specific dates in mind and the rooms slated for this deal sell out, you're going to have to pay full price. We suggest being flexible with your dates for that reason.

There are also blackout dates, so don't get your hopes up for popular weekends.
