Great Wolf Lodge has locations across the country, and Orange County families can find one close to home in Garden Grove, about three miles from Disneyland Resort. This spring, the popular indoor water park resort is rolling out Spring SplashFest, a limited-time seasonal experience designed to bring the sunshine, warmth, energy and colors of spring to life. Running March 6 to April 26, Spring SplashFest offers families a guaranteed 84-degree getaway with zero chance of rain and a lineup of spring-themed activities that make the chilly outdoors feel far away. Guests are welcomed with bright, cheerful decor throughout the resort, including colorful umbrellas, splashy water droplets and playful water park-inspired details.
The spring theme continues with hands-on crafts and stories, interactive games such as Spring SplashFest Bingo, a splash-themed dance party and nightly story time. Families can also spot Great Wolf Lodge characters throughout the resort and stop by a spring-themed selfie station to capture the moment. The activities are designed to give families a fun break between water park sessions and add an extra festive touch to the indoor getaway.
To celebrate the season, Great Wolf Lodge is also introducing a limited-time menu at all 22 U.S. locations, including the Garden Grove resort. The seasonal offerings blend family favorites with bright spring flavors and include the Ranch Bacon Double Burger, Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza, Garlic Herb Roasted Prime Rib and a Fire-Grilled Skewer Trio with shrimp, beef sirloin and vegetables.
Dessert options include the Wolf Brownie Ice Cream Tower and Banana Chocolate Chip Cookie Milkshake. For adults, seasonal cocktails include the Tito’s Orangeberry Crush and Springtime Bourbon Peach Tea, while kids can enjoy the Firefly, a fruity blend of lemonade, strawberry puree and pineapple juice.
Along with Spring SplashFest, Great Wolf Lodge offers year-round attractions such as its indoor water park with slides and pools for all ages, Ten Paw Alley bowling, Northern Lights Arcade, Build-A-Bear Workshop, MagiQuest and more.
