What the Scooops Kid Spa is
Scooops Kid Spa is the on-site, ice-cream–themed kid spa that provides child-friendly manicures, pedicures, and basic hair services. Treatments are packaged and designed with younger guests in mind rather than as a full-service adult spa.
Services at Scooops are an additional charge beyond room rates and the standard inclusions (water park passes and family activities). The spa focuses on short, supervised treatments appropriate for children and preteens.
- Typical offerings: manicures, pedicures, simple hair styling
- Age range described in some materials: about 4 to 15 years (some sources cite up to 12)
- Scooops is intended for kids; adult spa services beyond Scooops are not clearly listed in property materials

How to book and what to bring
Book Scooops Kid Spa appointments through the resort—ask the front desk or check the activities/amenities page. Because treatments are limited, reserve your child’s time slot early in your stay or in advance of arrival when possible.
Bring any necessary contact information and arrival details; the primary guest must be 21+ at check-in and provide photo ID and a credit card for incidentals.
- Ask concierge/front desk to book Scooops appointments
- Confirm age limits and any parent/guardian waiver or presence requirements
- Bring a change of clothes or cover-up for walking through public spaces between the spa and your room
| Before arrival | On arrival |
|---|---|
| Request Scooops appointment | Confirm appointment time with front desk |
| Note child’s age and any allergies | Check in at desk; bring photo ID for primary guest |
| Plan water park time around treatment | Return to room or water park as desired |
Spa etiquette, supervision and safety
Children should be supervised per resort policies: water park rules require a supervising companion 14+ in the water park and all children under 18 are expected to be accompanied by an adult. Scooops appointments may also require guardian sign-in or presence—check when booking.
Scooops uses products intended for kids; if your child has skin sensitivities or allergies, inform staff ahead of time and ask about ingredient lists before treatment.
- Disclose allergies or sensitivities during booking
- Ask whether a guardian must remain nearby during the treatment
- Confirm product ingredients if your child has topical allergies
| Policy area | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Supervision | Parent/guardian may be required to sign or stay nearby |
| Product safety | Kid-focused products used; ask about ingredients |
| Timing | Short service lengths suitable for children |
Combining spa time with water park and activities
Every stay includes water park access; plan spa treatments around pool time so nails and polish aren’t immediately submerged unless you choose quick-dry options. Towels are included with a stay or day pass, but a fee may apply for unreturned towels.
The lodge schedules family activities (story time, character meet-and-greets, dance parties) throughout the day—coordinate spa appointments so you don’t miss activities your family wants to attend.
- Towels are provided with your stay; bring an extra cover-up if you want to walk between venues
- Check activity schedules with the front desk to avoid conflicts
- Consider booking treatments during quieter water park periods (ask staff when those typically are)
| Thing | Tip |
|---|---|
| Water park access | Included with your stay; plan around treatments |
| Family activities | Most are complimentary—confirm times at front desk |
| Dining | On-site restaurants open for varied hours—book Barnwood or check Loose Moose and Hungry As A Wolf hours if dining after treatments |
Where parents can relax while kids are being pampered
The lodge public spaces include comfortable seating areas and a stone fireplace near the lobby where adults can wait while a child receives a treatment. You can also step into the water park or grab a coffee at on-site outlets while the appointment is underway.
If your group needs more private space after spa time, many suite types include seating areas that accommodate families—examples include the Junior Gray Wolf Suite w/Balcony and the Family Suite with Mountain View.
- Lobby sitting areas near the fireplace are common gathering spots
- Level 1 restaurants and cafes are convenient for a parent to get a snack during a treatment
- Consider suite options with living areas: Junior Gray Wolf Suite w/Balcony, Family Suite, Royal Wolf Suite
| Suite name | Why it helps parents |
|---|---|
| Junior Gray Wolf Suite w/Balcony | Separate seating area and balcony space |
| Family Suite with Mountain View | Larger square footage and room to spread out |
| Royal Wolf Suite | Extra sleeping areas and living space for families |
