Careening down slides, jumping over waves, floating down a lazy river, and getting drenched by a thousand gallons of water cascading from a giant tipping bucket are a few of the waterfilled adventures families will discover at the all-new Great Wolf Lodge in Webster, Texas when it opens on October 18, 2024.

This new resort, the second Great Wolf Lodge location in Texas, will provide families across the Lonestar State with a one-of-a-kind resort experience that has delighted families across the Midwest for decades. Filled with slides, pools and water-play features for every age and thrill level, the indoor water park is widely known as the marquee attraction at every Great Wolf Lodge location. The 92,000 square-foot indoor water park coming to Great Wolf Lodge Texas Gulf Coast will feature all the water park elements beloved by families from coast-to-coast, but reflected in an all-new design thematic, filled with immersive and interactive storytelling elements to enhance the overall water park experience. As part of the next generation Great Wolf Lodge experience making its debut in Webster, the water park reflects the whimsical adventures encountered by the Great Wolf Pack, the resort’s cast of character friends and stars of an animated film and series created by Great Wolf Entertainment which is shown in-lodge and on the company’s YouTube page.

The water park’s centerpiece attraction is Otter Cave Waterworks, a multi-level, interactive water play structure with intertwined “leaking” water pipes, spray jets, four twisting body slides and Great Wolf Lodge’s signature, 1,000-gallon tipping bucket. In total, the indoor water park at Great Wolf Lodge Texas Gulf Coast will feature 13 slides, three pools and two interactive water play zones. Highlights include:

• NEW – Texas Twirler: Making its Great Wolf Lodge debut, Texas Twirler is an exhilarating family raft adventure that can accommodate up to five riders. Riders quickly accelerate before dropped into a cone-shaped “tornado” where they slosh up one side and down another before exiting into a 360-degree loop. They head down a long straightway before entering a giant bowl that will spin them around before freefalling down into the splash channel.
• High Paw Holler: A body slide filled with constant excitement and anticipation as riders surge through enclosed flumes, race along the outer wall of open-air saucers, and experience a few more twists and turns before splashing down into a water filled runout.
• Alberta Falls: A tandem tube ride that takes riders on four stories of exhilarating adventure. Enjoy swiftly banking turns and steep pitches that will take you outside of the building and back again before a final drop into the plunge pool.
• Forest Flume: This open flume body slide accelerates riders through 360 loops, high-banking turns, and quick acceleration drops to provide an exhilarating ride from top to bottom.
• Rapid Racer: Riders can race side-by-side down a course featuring drops, chutes and serpentine curves. Adding to the excitement of this winding tube ride, there are two sections of the course with only a low wall separating riders to help spur that competitive racing spirit.
• River Canyon Run: A rollicking family raft ride that sends up to five riders on a white-water adventure down one of the park’s longest slides. As you slide down, you’ll pass enchanted hieroglyphics, and with no steep drops, this a great slide for families to enjoy together.
• Slap Tail Pond: A family favorite. The audio cue of a howling wolf brings this gigantic wave pool to life with waves reaching up to three feet in height. The active surf rolls through every five minutes, to the giggling delight of every child in the pool.
• Crooked Creek: A reprieve from the more active attractions in the waterpark, guests can relax and float on tubes down this winding lazy river that encircles the Otter Cave Waterworks play structure.
• Otter Springs: A special section of the waterpark designed exclusively for toddlers and younger guests. This play pool is filled with perfectly sized water slides featuring gentle slopes and tiny turns, making them the go-to attractions for the “under 42 inches” set. The resort will also feature a stunning outdoor, zero-entry, pool and hot tub surrounded by luxurious outdoor cabanas so families can relax and enjoy the warm Texas weather.

An overnight stay at Great Wolf Lodge Texas Gulf Coast allows guests the opportunity to enjoy two days of indoor water park fun – with access starting after 1 p.m. on the day of check-in, and the ability to play in the water park until it closes on check-out day.
