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.
