Time to pack the swimsuits and sense of adventure, New England’s newest indoor water park is almost open for business! 
“We're about to be very, very popular in New England,” said General Manger Henry Tessman, “there’s truly something for every age here.” 
Great Wolf Lodge is making its final preparations to debut right next door to Foxwoods Resort Casino. 
The resort will bring yearround fun to families with a massive 92,000-square-foot indoor water park and 61,000-square-foot adventure park. 
There are 13 water slides, a three-foot wave pool, lazy river, outdoor hot tub and pool and the iconic tipping bucket that dumps 1,000 gallons of water every three to four minutes. 
Want to stay dry? Those attractions include a rope course, mini golf, climbing walls, arcade games and the interactive MagiQuest experience. 
The lodge also comes with a full schedule of family activities like yoga and story time, one of Tessman’s favorite, “my favorite part is Goodnight Luna, it's like our nighttime kiss to everyone staying with us." 
Great Wolf Lodge Mashantucket opens April 25. Find special deals here.
