I drove down our local highway last week, in awe of how green our trees and grassy areas have become. We have had a late winter and the latest rains have breathed life into the vibrant leaves and flowers that are now blooming. The warmer weather, longer days, and vibrant renewal beckon us to go out and celebrate. With Great Wolf Lodge celebrating it’s second birthday and the changing of the seasons, I thought I’d share some tips on celebrating Spring at the largest family of indoor waterparks in the country.

Great Wolf Lodge Southern California
My kids still recount the details of our very first visit to Great Wolf Lodge as if we’d just spent the weekend splashing and squealing with delight at the indoor water park. Great Wolf Lodge Southern California just celebrated its second birthday, and with a host of new Spring activities, now is the perfect time to visit. Every season, the indoor water park hosts a special, seasonally-themed event. Previous events have included Howl-O-Ween and Snowland. Spring-A-Palooza runs March 9th through April 15th, 2018 at Great Wolf Lodge and features a host of themed activities. This year, Great Wolf Lodge is partnering with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation at 14 of its locations, including Southern California to raise funds and awareness for childhood cancer.

Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation
Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation began as a simple lemonade stand from cancer survivor Alexandra Scott. At four years old, Alex decided to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for children with cancer. The foundation has since evolved into a national fundraising movement with supporters nationwide carrying on her legacy. To date, the foundation has raised more than $150 million, funding over 800 pediatric cancer research projects nationwide.
During Great Wolf Lodge’s Spring-A-Palooza, guests can visit the lemonade stand in the Grand Lobby for complimentary lemonade in a picnic-style setting. New this year, Great Wolf Lodge will offer color-changing cups for $2.50 and 100 percent of proceeds from the sale of these keepsake cups will be donated to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.
