It can be hard to find kid-friendly things to do on Halloween, but we put our own howling twist on this beloved holiday with our Howl-O-Ween celebration that lasts all October.
Costumes That Make a Splash
Traditional Halloween: Costumes are worn for a few hours of trick-or-treating or parties.
Howl-O-Ween: At Great Wolf Lodge, costumes aren’t just for one night! Kids can wear their favorite outfits throughout their stay to all Halloween activities, even while enjoying our famous indoor water park.
Spooky Decorations
Traditional Halloween: Houses and yards are decorated with jack-o’-lanterns, cobwebs, and skeletons.
Howl-O-Ween: Our entire lodge transforms into a howling good time! From our Great Clock Tower to our restaurants, every corner of Great Wolf Lodge gets a playful, family-friendly Halloween makeover.
