When we visited Great Wolf Lodge last year, we were able to get the first glimpse of Snowland, and now…the boys have been talking about it all year long. So we just had to make a visit to our our most favorite SoCal water park during the holidays – twinkling lights, holiday trees and indoor snow falls that melting into a perfect 84-degree basking weather.
During Snowland, Great Wolf Lodge has set up some extra fun free Snowland activities. You can watch a festive family flick. put on your favorite PJs and snuggle up for Snowland Story Time with a very special guest of honor, sing Merry-Oke, learn all about animals that love the snow, create your own origami reindeer to take home, and track down clues to win a special prize in this fun, festive dash around the lodge. You can also guess how many peppermints are in the gigantic jar at our front desk – the closest guess wins a $25 Great Wolf Lodge gift card!
Celebrate the season by singing your holiday favorites every evening after the lobby show where snow may even start falling. Each night there is a Frosty Fest Family Dance Party! Great Wolf Lodge has amped up the energy by adding falling snowflakes, glow sticks and more!
After a fun day in the water, head over the the Hot Cocoa Bar with a Great Wolf Kid. During Snowland, the hot cocoa bar is perfect winter treat!
Santa Claus will be visiting the Grand Lobby every weekend hroughout the holidays. you can make sure that Santa receives your children’s letters on time by mailing them at Santa’s Letter Depot in the lodge.
Plus, the kiddies can attend North Pole University! North Pole University is enrolling now for our winter, 2016 – 2017 snow-mester. Children will delight in completing the GWL holiday-themed activities and receiving their official “Snowploma” and a limited edition Rowdy the Reindeer trading card.
