Fright-Free Halloween Fun

Throughout the five-week celebration, families can soak up the waterpark thrills they know and love while enjoying a lineup of seasonal activities and festive décor. The lodge decks its halls with pumpkins and cobwebs—setting the stage for Halloween adventures that are more sweet than scary.

Here’s what guests can look forward to:

• Trick-Or-Treat Trail – Little ghosts and goblins can wear their costumes and stop at elaborately decorated trick-or-treat stations throughout the resort to collect favorite candies.
• Monster Bash Dance Party – A nightly chance for kids to shake their “funky bones” to fun Halloween tunes before bedtime.
• Howl-O-Ween Arts & Crafts – Families can create keepsakes with seasonal projects such as buttons, coloring sheets, origami, and bracelets or keychains featuring limited-edition black star beads.
• Howl-O-Ween Mini Events – Trivia buffs can test their knowledge of Halloween myths, legends and lore, or shout “boo” when they win a round of Boo Bingo.
• Specialty Food & Drinks – New this year, festive bites include the Howlin’ Wagyu Burger served on a toasted black wolf bun and a decadent Pumpkin Pie Caramel Swirl Shake.

Great Wolf Lodge’s Howl-O-Ween is designed for families looking for a playful Halloween experience without the scares. Guests can pair the lodge’s signature indoor water park with these special seasonal events for an autumn trip that blends cozy indoor fun and a touch of spooky charm.
