The new Great Wolf Lodge in Perryville will feature 700 guest rooms and suites, plenty of family fun and the company’s largest indoor waterpark yet.
Looking for the perfect staycation destination packed with family fun? Great Wolf Lodge is known throughout the country for offering just that. With locations close to metropolitan areas all over the United States, Great Wolf Lodge is a favorite weekend getaway for many busy families.
Recently, the company began building its largest location yet, just off of I-95 in Perryville, Maryland. The Lodge will be about a 30-minute drive for residents of the greater Wilmington area, and under two hours from those living in Southern Delaware. Along with the familiar amenities present at every Great Wolf Lodge, the Perryville location will introduce two new waterslides and other fun features.
The Waterpark
The first impressive feature at Great Wolf Lodge Maryland is the 128,000-square-foot indoor waterpark, complete with nearly two dozen different waterslides and activities. Along with the popular attractions featured at every Lodge, the Perryville location adds two new waterslide designs that don’t exist anywhere else. The “High Paw Holler” is designed to mimic the feeling of racing down a ski slope, with constant excitement and anticipation for the next turn or drop. The “Forest Flume” is a waterslide made for thrill-seekers with back-to-back turns, 360° loops and high-banking slopes. This will be the longest Twister slide that slide manufacturer ProSlide has ever installed in the state of Maryland.
Other attractions within the waterpark cater to a variety of age groups and thrill-seekers. The Otter Cave Waterworks—Great Wolf Lodge’s signature multi-level water play structure—features suspension bridges, slides and spray stations for younger visitors. Plus, Great Wolf Lodge’s iconic tipping bucket, which fills with 1,000 gallons of water and tips every three to four minutes, drenches whoever stands beneath it. The Rapid Racer allows multiple riders to speed down different tubes at the same time, seeing who will reach the bottom first. The Wolf Tail waterslide is another Great Wolf Lodge staple for adventurers. Guests step into a “launch pod” and listen to the sound of a heartbeat as they wait for the floor to drop out from underneath, entering them into a speedy drop and high-speed loops. With these and over a dozen more slides, there’s no shortage of fun to be had in this impressive indoor park.
For toddlers and younger guests, Whooping Hollow is a special section with a play pool and child-sized waterslides, complete with gentle slopes and turns. Crooked Creek is a relaxing lazy river in the middle of the park for a break from the slides and thrills.
What’s the purpose of promoting this as Delaware when it is “ just off of I-95 in Perryville, Maryland???”
Maryland and Cecil County should be all over this and promoting it as their own!
It will be infucted by city dwellers and turned into a dump in a year or two. Just like at Disney where you have to risk physical assault when one of their like dressed, loudmouthed, feckless and ignorant animals cuts in line or otherwise acts up and you call them on it.
