Great Wolf Lodge's Water Park Expansion

The most kid-friendly of all the additions, Great Wolf Lodge Poconos is adding 40,000 square feet of fun to its water park, which is already one of our favorite local water parks to visit with kids. This addition houses seven new water slides for guests to enjoy including Slidewinder, a new slide to Great Wolf Lodge.

As if that wasn't enough, an outdoor swimming pool is set to debut just in time for the Fourth of July holiday weekend. Families can enjoy the sunshine and fresh air while splashing around in an outdoor pool designed for relaxation and family time. The outdoor swimming area also includes a hot tub, cabanas, and tons of lounge seating around the pool.

The Mountain Tower

It’s no secret that groups of all shapes and sizes love reuniting at Great Wolf Lodge, and soon there will be even more ways for larger groups to gather in the resort’s newly expanded Mountain Tower, slated to open in early fall. The Mountain Tower offers 202 all-new family suites, including new room categories that were previously unavailable at the main lodge. Guests can pick from the Deluxe Wolf Den and Deluxe Kid Cabin Suite, which creates a room that can sleep 10-12 guests, while still providing the themed sleeping alcove kids love.

Celebrity designer Nate Berkus brings his style to The Woodland Villas at Great Wolf Lodge Poconos.

The Woodland Villas

Every single element of a stay at the Woodland Villas is designed to be elevated. From the moment they arrive, Villa guests are greeted at a separate check-in area and can enjoy a quiet moment in their own lobby area. Each of the 1,500-square-foot villas can accommodate up to 10 people with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchenette, a living room, and private outdoor living space. Enjoy views of the Pocono Mountains while gathered around the fire pit on your private patio.

For the project, Great Wolf Lodge Poconos worked with renowned designer Nate Berkus to customize the outdoor living space for the Villas. The end result is a perfect blend of kid- and adult-friendly amenities. The Woodland Villas are booking now for dates starting in October.
