$250M Great Wolf Lodge to open in Naples

Naples Great Wolf Lodge Opening This Summer

The $250 million Great Wolf Lodge says it will be ready for customers this September. The Tampa Business Journal reports the resort is expected to bring more than 600 jobs to the area with 500 themed suites, a 92,000-square-foot indoor water park and 62,000 square feet of attractions and restaurants, as well as a convention center and other amenities. 

The water park’s centerpiece attraction is Otter Cave Waterworks, a multilevel, interactive water play structure intertwined with “leaking” water pipes, spray jets, four twisting body slides and Great Wolf Lodge’s signature, 1,000-gallon tipping bucket.

The Naples location, south of the Tampa Bay area, is scheduled to open in early fall on Sept. 25, barring any construction issues.

A year before the resort broke ground in July 2022, the Collier County Commission approved a $15 million economic development agreement with Great Wolf Resorts.
