GREAT
WOLF
LODGE
Open year-round, the lodge trades winter blues
for the gushing waters of the 80,000-square-foot
indoor water park. Here thrill-seekers hold on
tight while swirling through the six-story slide
Howlin' Tornado, explorers splash through the
Fort Mackenzie treehouse, and little pups howl
with joy in the Whooping Hollow playground.
Once you've worked up an appetite, head to
Buckets Incredible Craveables for a poolside
picnic. Dive into a burger or hot dog and, if
you've saved room, the family-sized Tipping
Bucket, a dessert that overflows with ice cream,
brownies, candy and whipped cream.
Afterward, gather the pack for a lively post-
lunch lineup. Kids tap into their artistic sides
with Paws-on-Projects, face painting and balloon
twisting, while resident tree climbers get an
adrenaline boost on the Howlers Peak Ropes
Course. Team up with the whole family during
live-action games like MagiQuest, Compass
Quest, ShadowQuest and AtomicRUSH, an LED
arcade game.
With so much fun to pack in, you may want to
extend your adventure. Overnight options at
Great Wolf Lodge stretch imaginations with
themed tent and cave sleeping areas.
You don't hear "I'm bored" at Great
Wolf Lodge. Instead, kids, screaming and
high-fiving, race down the Totem Towers
water slides. Parents look on as they
splash about, thankful for a weekend
away from video game consoles.
