Great Wolf Lodge
Great Wolf Lodge is the one-stop-shop for your next family gathering. Under the umbrella of North America’s largest indoor water park resort group, Great Wolf Lodge in LaGrange has offerings for all ages and abilities. The park’s pools and water slides are kept warm year-round and offer 93,000 square feet of entertainment (just picture: water treehouses, wave pools, floating lily pads and more). For those more inclined to dry-land activities, Great Wolf is still a good idea—a climbing wall, ropes courses, minigolf, bowling, MagiQuest and an arcade are all at your disposal.
Besides activities, Great Wolf offers multiple dining and shopping options. Satiate everyone’s sweet tooth with Ben & Jerry’s or Dunkin’ Donuts after a day of splashing around and allow the aunts and uncles to enjoy happy hour with craft cocktails at Barnwood or craft beer at the Outpost. There is more than enough to keep your family satisfied! From pizza and barbecue to salads and an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet, the options are endless at Great Wolf.
If you are looking for a more private meal together, consider renting out one of the Lodge’s conference centers and catering food to have an exclusive lunch or dinner with just your family. Great Wolf Lodge has plenty of room to go around.
For those coming from out of town, staying a few nights is well worth your while. Great Wolf Lodge offers family suite options, making it possible to combine rooms and maximize your time together. With “Deluxe Queen and Family Suites” and “Deluxe KidCabin Suites,” which accommodate up to twelve people, consider piling all of the cousins together for more memories your little ones will never forget. Choose a suite with a patio for more space for your crew to spread out.
