Great Wolf Lodge Pushes For Earlier Opening Date

LEDYARD, CT — A massive water park resort has pushed up its opening date. Great Wolf Lodge at Foxwoods is now scheduled to open May 23, 2025.

Previously, the family-friendly resort was scheduled to open a month later.

In June, construction on the lodge reached a significant milestone as the final beam needed to complete vertical construction was hoisted.

The $300-million, 549-room indoor water-park resort broke ground on a 13-acre property next to Foxwoods early last year.

Great Wolf is North America's largest family of indoor water park resorts. The new resort will be its third in the Northeast and its 23rd in North America. Earlier this month, Great Wolf opened another location in Naples, Florida.

The resort at Foxwoods is expected to create 500 full-time and part-time jobs.

The eight-story resort will feature a 91,000-square-foot indoor water park with a variety of body slides, tube slides, raft rides, activity pools, and splash areas.

A 61,000-square-foot family entertainment center called Great Wolf Adventure Park will include attractions like MagiQuest, a live action-adventure game featuring interactive magic wands.

Great Wolf Lodge will also feature family-friendly suites that will include themed rooms with separate sleeping quarters designed for kids as either a log cabin or wolf den.

The property will boast more than 7,500 square feet of flexible conference space with breakout rooms, built-in A/V technology, and customizable catering options.
