Massive New Water Park Opening in Connecticut
You can never have too many choices when it comes to water parks in New England. It’s especially exciting when you have your favorites but can anticipate a brand new one entering our New England backyard.
Even better is that even though it won’t open until early 2025 you won’t have to wait until summer to slip and slide down the water tubes, splash around in the pools, or enjoy rafting. This massive water park coming to Ledyard, Connecticut on the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation land with the Foxwoods Casino is in the final stages of construction.
Foxwoods Casino
According to Foxwoods Casino, this water park is part of the Great Wolf Resort which so many of us know is an oasis of family fun and adventure since they pride themselves as North America’s largest group of indoor water park resorts.
The 91,000 square foot water park means more than two acres of slides, tubes, water rivers, and pools along with 549 hotel rooms in the Great Wolf Resort and a 61,000 square-foot entertainment center according to the CT Insider.
Foxwoods Casino
This $300 million water park and resort is literally next door to the Foxwoods casino and will start taking reservations this summer according to the CT Insider marking the third Great Wolf Resort in the northeast and the 23rd in the country according to The Great Wolf Lodge.
Foxwoods Casino
According to AOL, Foxwoods Casino says this is the perfect way to expand.
It’s all part of our evolution, transforming us from a place known for gaming to a fully integrated family resort. It’s big news for the tribe, big news for Connecticut and big news for the Northeast. The plans square with “the original vision of the tribe, which was to bring the outdoors inside.”
The eight-story Great Wolf Lodge will encompass around 15 acres according to the Patch website adding some 500 part time and full time jobs.
