Great Wolf Lodge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Great Wolf Lodge (Blue Harbor) is a chain of family indoor water park resorts located in multiple states in North America. The first Great Wolf Lodge opened in the early summer months of 1997 in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. The original name of the resort was Black Wolf Lodge. The resort was soon confused with Black Wolf Lodge golf course. For promotional and legal reasons, the resort was renamed as Great Wolf Lodge.
The principal ownership of Great Wolf Lodge was composed of brothers Jack and Andrew Waterman who were the original owners of the Noah's Ark waterpark, which is commonly billed as America's Largest Waterpark. The Waterman brothers sold Noah's Ark in the mid-1990s and subsequently opened Black Wolf Lodge in 1998. Early in the twenty-first century, the Watermans sold the resort to an investment group based in Madison, Wisconsin, and on December 17, 2004, the company became a public family indoor water park. Great Wolf Lodge's head quaters is currently in Madison.[1][2]
