October is one of our favorite months at Great Wolf Lodge! All of our locations celebrate Howl-O-Ween with spooky festivities such as daily costume parades, Spooktacular Story Time, pumpkin painting, and more. And what would Howl-O-Ween be without (weatherproof!) trick-or-treating? Every year, kids wear their costumes and dash through each resort, visiting unique stops created just for them. Last year, we added a special, and important, spot along the trail\u2014a Teal Pumpkin.<\/p>\n

Working with the Teal Pumpkin Project\u2122<\/a> was a natural fit for us since we are passionate about accommodating food allergies<\/a>, preparing food safely, and customizing meals to meet the individual needs of our guests. The Teal Pumpkin Project is a national campaign launched by the nonprofit Food Allergy Research & Education<\/a> (FARE) in 2014. Its purpose is to ensure all trick-or-treaters can enjoy Halloween alongside each other, regardless of their food allergies. Participating families display a teal pumpkin at their home, letting trick-or-treaters know allergy- or sugar-free foods (or non-food treats) are available. Launched nationally in 2014, the Teal Pumpkin Project has attracted supporters from 50 states and more than a dozen countries.<\/p>\n

We were excited to add a Teal Pumpkin stop along our trails last year for everyone visiting during their Halloween vacation. Throughout Howl-O-Ween, each Great Wolf Lodge<\/a> resort had a designated Teal Pumpkin stop. To bring this idea to life, we partnered with Highlights for Children<\/a>. Perfect for the Teal Pumpkin Project, copies of Highlights and High Five magazines were handed out to resort trick-or-treaters to take home with them. This was a great way to be inclusive and educate our guests at the same time\u2014a win-win! We\u2019re excited to continue this tradition for years to come!<\/p>\n
