Great Wolf Lodge’s Snowland Celebration Brings Winter Magic Indoors

Snow hasn’t started falling in Southern New England yet, but that hasn’t stopped people from planning their winter wonderlands.

Holiday light displays and seasonal sip-and-strolls will soon be filling December weekends, but what if you don’t want to bundle up for your festive fun? 

If you’d rather trade snow boots for swimsuits but still want a dose of holiday magic, Great Wolf Lodge Mashantucket and Great Wolf Lodge New England have exactly what you’re looking for this winter.

From November 24 through January 6, the Great Wolf Lodge in Fitchburg, MA will transform into a cozy holiday wonderland as Snowland returns to this family-favorite resort with dining igloos and nightly snowfalls in the Grand Lobby.

The new Great Wolf Lodge inside Foxwoods Resort Casino will also be kicking off its first-ever Snowland celebration on November 24. They’ll be decking their poolside halls with twinkling lights, towering illuminated trees, and even daily Frosty Fest dance parties.

Fun for Every Member of the Pack

Both locations will also be stocked with seasonal activities for the kids like Snowland bingo, ring toss and cornhole games, and plenty of arts and crafts to create unique family keepsakes of your visit.

Plus if the pools don’t wear them out, there’s a Snowland Scavenger Hunt that will have them moving and searching throughout the lodge, and even a “‘Twas the Night Before Snowland” yoga class that can help calm the crew down from all the Christmas chaos.

Wet, But Warm Holiday Memories

And while the snow may be fake, the smiles will definitely be real. With Santa visits, themed games, festive crafts and all the indoor waterpark fun that Great Wolf is known for, it’s a perfect way to make warm holiday memories, even in the middle of winter.
