Located in the city of LaGrange, the resort is the perfect year-round family getaway with an expansive indoor water park and an adjoining adventure park filled with interactive attractions and activities that kids and parents can enjoy together.

Our new resort offers value, convenience and endless opportunities for families to join together and create memories they will cherish.”

 

Guests are never more than a few feet away from the next great family adventure at Great Wolf Lodge Georgia. Starting with the nearly 100,000-square-foot indoor water park with slides and water features for every age and adjacent 40,000-square-foot Great Wolf Adventure Park with a host of family-friendly attractions such as a ropes course and climbing wall, to a wide range of complimentary kids activities including arts and crafts, dance parties, and more—the fun won’t stop from morning to night.

 

“Great Wolf Lodge Georgia encompasses everything today’s families are looking for,” added Keith Furnas, the resort’s general manager. “From the towering water slides and the gentle lazy river to our diverse dining options, guests will be immersed in a one-of-a-kind family vacation experience from the moment they walk in our front doors.”

 

Highlights of Great Wolf Lodge Georgia include:

 

SUITES

 

Great Wolf Lodge Georgia features 457 suites designed to accommodate families and groups of all sizes with a cozy respite after a fun day of water park play. Families can choose from eight suite styles, including the kid-focused Wolf Den and KidCabin suites that will leave pups howling for bedtime, complete with bunk beds and Great Wolf Kids character theming. Premium suites offer one or two bedrooms with additional bathrooms for larger families or friends traveling together. All suites come equipped with an in-room refrigerator and coffee maker.

 

WATER PARK

 

The centerpiece of the resort is the indoor water park that stretches nearly the size of two football fields, perfectly heated to an ideal 84-degrees and featuring water slides and attractions intended for children of all ages. Two first-of-their-kind slides make their debut at Great Wolf Lodge Georgia. Triple Thunder is a group raft ride that combines two thrilling water park attractions into one pulse-pounding slide. Riders plummet down a steep drop and into a funnel, and then swoosh into two, back-to-back saucers before plunging into a catch pool. Rapid Racer is a two-person tube racing slide featuring drops, chutes and serpentine curves with a surprise twist. Riders enter sections of the slide with open racing lanes where they can see and hear their fellow racer – separated only by a low wall. Additional signature water rides and attractions include a lazy river, wave pool, and more exciting slides including River Canyon Run, a family raft ride, and Wolf Tail, a thrill-seeker’s dream where a floor drops out from under the rider, and they’re taken down a nearly vertical 20-foot free fall. The water park also includes plenty of attractions for the youngest guests with a dedicated zero depth toddler pool filled with age-appropriate slides and water features, and Fort Mackenzie, a multi-level interactive water fort with the resort’s iconic tipping bucket. Great Wolf Lodge Georgia also features Raccoon Lagoon, a large outdoor family pool, as well as Northwoods Springs, an adult-only oasis adjacent to the outdoor pool offering a respite for parents. Featuring a private hot tub and relaxing lounge chairs, Northwoods Springs will be exclusive to guests 21 and over.

 

Admission to the indoor water park is included as part of each overnight stay and is exclusive to resort guests, limiting lines and providing great value to families seeking the perfect place to enjoy quality time together.

CAMP H.O.W.L.

 

Parents also have something to howl about as Great Wolf Lodge Georgia debuts a new concept called Camp H.O.W.L (Habitat of Wild Learning). This new multi-functional space offers families a variety of activities to enjoy together during the daytime, while in the evening, it transforms into a parent-free, secure kids’ club featuring supervised educational and entertaining activities for children. The space was designed to feel as though guests have stepped into the Northwoods forest, complete with a Great Wolf Kids cabin that serves as both a backdrop for a multidimensional stage and a play space that houses an assortment of interactive activities. Families can visit Camp H.O.W.L. throughout the day and participate in a variety of complimentary activities such as craft-making, character sketching, coloring activities, interactive games and more. In the evening, the space transforms to offer structured, parent-free secure programming specifically designed for children ages 4-12.
