WEBSTER, Texas — In April, the Great Wolf Lodge said they would open on Labor Day weekend, which was nearly two months earlier than expected. Now, the indoor water park and hotel plans to open even earlier than that.
On the top of their website, the Great Wolf Lodge in Webster said it will now open on Aug. 7. We called and confirmed the date.
Back in April, we got a sneak peek of the 92,000-square-foot indoor water park, 61,000-square-foot adventure park and hotel under construction.

Workers were busy building the rides for the 22nd Great Wolf Lodge and the second in Texas.
The water park’s centerpiece attraction is Otter Cave Waterworks, a multi-level, interactive water play structure with intertwined “leaking” water pipes, spray jets, four twisting body slides and Great Wolf Lodge’s signature, 1,000-gallon tipping bucket.
Along with the usual attractions, the Webster location will include a first-of-its-kind Texas Twirler slide, a raft adventure that can accommodate up to five riders. A new Howlers Ropes Course that includes two zip lines is another new feature.
Additional highlights include the High Paw Holler slide, Alberta Falls tube ride, Forest Flume slide, Rapid Racer tube ride, River Canyon Run raft ride, Slap Tail Pond wave pool, Crooked Creek lazy river and Otter Springs play pool.
The adventure park includes Northern Lights Arcade, Ten Paw Alley for bowling and the Howl In One Miniature Golf Course.
Great Wolf Lodge is located on a 27-acre site on Great Wolf Way just east of the Gulf Freeway in Webster.
