Family travelers won’t want to miss Spring SplashFest at Great Wolf Lodge. Kick off the season at this limited-time seasonal event running until April 26. Guests can expect family fun, no rain, nice weather and a collection of spring-themed activities that will make the winter outdoors feel like a long time ago.
Spring SplashFest activities include spring games, where family members can challenge each other in some fun, competitive games like the new SplashFest Bingo; SplashFest Arts & Crafts, where kids can bring out their artistic side with spring-themed crafts like personalized bracelets, keychains, color-your-own buttons, seasonal origami, coloring pages, Wolf Ear decorating and more; Spring Yoga Tails, during which kids can start the day off on the right foot by stretching, flexing and breathing during yoga to generate energy, imagination and self-expression; and SplashFest Family Dance Party & Story Time where, every night, families can head to the lobby for a dance party filled with lively music before unwinding during Great Wolf’s nightly interactive story-time tale.
Springtime activities aren’t the only thing making a splash at Great Wolf Lodge. All 22 U.S. locations are offering new, limited-time food and drink options including chicken bacon ranch pizza; Ranch Milkshake, a sweet-and-savory vanilla ranch shake topped with fried chicken, carrots, celery, lime rime and whipped cream; and Wolf Brownie Ice Cream Tower, two giant warm brownies topped with vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, a caramel drizzle and whipped cream.
