1. Water Adventures Abound

There’s nothing quite like the pure bliss of splashing around in a water park, and Great Wolf Lodge - Naples delivers one that’s truly like nothing we’ve ever seen before. The 92,000 square foot facility boasts everything from exhilarating slides to a massive wave pool to an interactive four-story water fort treehouse, so there’s no possibility of hearing the dreaded, “I’m booored.”

And don’t worry, adults: This is far from just a day at the kiddie pool. While the little ones play, you can unwind in one of the resort’s poolside cabanas, take a leisurely float on the lazy river, or hit up the Tidal Wave Bar for the perfect amount of close-by chill time.

2. Experiences That Immerse

Between splash sessions, Great Wolf Lodge - Naples’ immersive experiences offer some variety to your fun. Lose yourself in MagiQuest, where guests can venture into an all-encompassing fantasy adventure, using magic wands to collect relics on their journey to become powerful Magis. Together, you’ll work to solve puzzles, battle dragons, and complete a mystical series of quests around the lodge.

And if you’re up for a more high-tech rush, The Virtual Frontier features cutting-edge virtual reality games that transport you to whatever fantastical world you desire, whether you’re in the mood to dive to the bottom of the sea or take a prehistoric stroll among the dinosaurs. And don’t forget to check out the Legend of Luna immersive storytelling experience — it’s free to all guests, and happens right in the lobby!

3. Comfort, But Elevated

After a day whizzing down water slides and adventure-hopping around the resort, you’ll want to retreat to a space that’s as comfortable as it is welcoming. Great Wolf Lodge - Naples’ premium rooms are designed with groups in mind, so you’ll find plenty of space, along with thoughtful amenities like mini fridges, coffee makers, HDTVs, and internet to make your stay that much more convenient. And don’t get us started on the suites’ decor — choose from wolf den- and grizzly bear-themed accommodations that give kids their very own space, ensuring a good night’s sleep for everyone in your pack.

And when it’s time to eat, Great Wolf Lodge - Naples has dining options that cover it all, from outdoors-themed food at Fireside restaurant to hand-crafted ice cream at Wood’s End Creamery. Parents can savor high-quality meals paired with craft beers and signature cocktails while kids dig in to fresh takes on their familiar favorites. With so many choices, everybody — no matter their palate or preferences — will leave the table happy.

4. Beyond The Water Park

H2O play is obviously the star of the show here, but Great Wolf Lodge - Naples has plenty of other on-land adventures that keep everyone engaged. If you’re up for a challenge that’s as exciting for the adults as it is for the kids, the Howlers Peak Ropes Course will have you balancing on ropes, crossing bridges, and climbing through obstacles: all with the safety of a climbing harness, of course.

And for the group that lives for some friendly competition, Ten Paw Bowling Alley, Northern Lights Arcade, and the Howl in One Mini Golf course are all absolute musts.

Also fan faves (and conveniently located in the hotel’s lobby): nightly dance parties, arts and crafts experiences, and morning yoga!

With so much to offer, Florida’s first Great Wolf Lodge is more than just a water park — it’s a complete vacation experience for every member of the pack. Whether you’re on the hunt for peak adventure, ultimate relaxation, or a little bit of both, this all-new resort has everything you need to make your fall getaway one for the books.
