Grand Opening and Details on Great Wolf Lodge Maryland
With the recent opening of Great Wolf Lodge Maryland, family fun just got a lot closer to home. The newest and largest lodge did not disappoint! I had the opportunity to attend the grand opening celebration on June 29th, and it was a really nice event. Attendees included Great Wolf Resorts CEO, John Murphy, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, members of the media, local bloggers and more. The festivities included an official grand opening ceremony, touring the beautiful property, waterpark and rooms, learning all about the resort and enjoying a delicious lunch, complete with dessert from celebrity chef, Duff Goldman. I had such a great time, and I can’t wait to bring my family for a visit later this summer. We have actually visited the Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg, VA, which my kids love, so I know they are really going to love the newest resort.
Whether for a fun-filled family getaway this Summer or anytime time of the year, I highly recommend checking out this new resort located in Perryville, Maryland, which is near Baltimore. Here are all the details you need and want to know about Great Wolf Lodge Maryland:
the great geyser water park
Great Wolf Lodge resorts are best known for their indoor water parks, and the thing I love most is that you can enjoy the water parks anytime of year because they are heated to 84 degrees all year long. The Great Geyser Water Park within Great Wolf Lodge Maryland features over 20 slides and attractions. In short, the water park is fun for all ages.

EVENTS
As a former event planner and a forever event host, I was pleased to learn that Great Wolf Lodge Maryland has many options to bring groups together. They have a Party Den located near the entrance for the water park, which would be perfect for families hosting kid birthday parties. Additionally, they have a 7,000 square foot conference center, which is perfect for meetings, family reunions, conferences and more. The property can also provide a dedicated room block for your group.
