FITCHBURG, MA — If you’re looking for the ultimate family getaway this summer, Great Wolf Lodge New England just made a big splash. The beloved indoor water park resort in Fitchburg, Massachusetts has officially unveiled its latest attraction: Otter Cave Waterworks, a brand-new water play structure marking the completion of a multi-million-dollar renovation. With new enhancements already on the horizon, Great Wolf Lodge New England earns our pick as Resort of the Week.

But the improvements don’t stop there. GWLNE has announced even more updates coming this fall, including a $15 million renovation of its dining outlets and guest rooms. Families can expect modernized accommodations, expanded food options, and refreshed amenities throughout the resort.
Of course, what keeps families returning is an unmatched blend of entertainment and convenience. In addition to the water park, the resort offers mini golf, an arcade, MagiQuest interactive adventures, bowling, and nightly story time for younger guests — all under one roof.
