Snowland Events

Dine in our life-size Gingerbread House

Make your holidays a little sweeter when you dine inside a life-size Gingerbread House! The delicious aromas that drift from this giant Gingerbread House may start a craving for sweets, so we've made room inside for you to eat with your pack! Reservations can be made at the hostess stand upon arrival. One additional fee of $20 will be charged for each seating (of up to 6 people) and will be donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters.




Santa Visits Great Wolf Lodge

Santa Claus is coming to town - at Great Wolf Lodge! He will make his grand entry during our annual Tree Lighting Ceremony on Saturday, December 1. Additional visits are scheduled at Great Wolf Lodge - visits vary by Lodge. Children of every age can write letters to Santa in the Writing Depot (located in Cub Club) throughout Snowland. He'll be sure to respond after his world tour on December 25.


North Pole University

Children can become a Snowland expert by enrolling in North Pole University (NPU). Complete 5 fun courses on your study guide (like practicing your chimney-sliding skills on a waterslide) to obtain your "Snowploma", arcade tokens and a special prize!
