Great Wolf Lodge Expands Offerings in Time for Summer

Let’s face it, if there’s one thing kids love, it’s water parks. And Great Wolf Lodge located in the Pocono Mountains, PA is expanding its already-massive offering. This tri-state family-friendly resort is a year-round destination and with the latest bells and whistles slated to be added by Memorial Day, it’s sure to attract an even larger audience of both kids and adults.

So far, the resort has undergone a multi-million-dollar refurbishment (the largest in the property’s history) and by completion, the entire resort will have undergone a top-to-bottom overhaul. As if the kids weren’t already begging for a visit, here are some of the top reasons to book a stay this year.
  

Rooms, Glorious Rooms

There are more than 400 rooms at this massive resort—so quite literally, a room configuration for any family type. If you’re splurging, pick one of the 12 suite styles, which includes themed suites with bunk beds inside log cabins, wolf dens, or camping tent-designed alcoves. All the rooms have recently had a face-lift with new beds, flooring, and furnishings—all with the beloved Northwood’s great wolf theme.

   
Water Slides, Rides, and Pools

From water basketball, to wave pools, to kiddy pools, to roller coaster slides, family rafts, hot tubs and more, your family could literally stay at the water park area from opening to closing and not run out of things to do. There is a special area for little tykes while the older kids can enjoy a variety of slides, from heart-pounding to easy riding, and the parents even have a special adults-only section. Plenty of water fun during the day makes for wonderful sleeping at night.

MagiQuest Adventure

If your kids love Harry Potter or any other fantasy adventures, they’ll love this. It’s a scavenger hunt/mystical adventure game in which players use interactive magic wands to open treasure chests and bring to life Charlock, the oversized elaborate red dragon, as well as get clues to figure out how to defeat goblins and dragons. It can take 1 hour…or 6, depending on how involved your kids want to make it. The kids each get their own book and wand and off they go.
