Great Wolf Lodge and its partners announced Wednesday that they are making a $25,000 donation to the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center. “And I think we're building off of that momentum right now.” We kept our parks open, kept our beaches open,” Lamont said. “Ironically 2021 2022, during the worst of COVID, were our busiest years for visitors. Governor Ned Lamont, who attended Wednesday’s groundbreaking, believes the development could help Connecticut ride a wave of tourism that swelled during the pandemic. “So that's a half million people coming here to this area,” Lasecki said.
Lasecki said a Great Wolf Lodge typically draws half a million visitors per year.
“Adventure Park, where we have activities like a ropes course, miniature golf, an arcade, other activities that the families can do together.” “Got slides for every age, every thrill level,” Jason Lasecki, Great Wolf Resorts vice president of corporate communication, said. Great Wolf Lodge representatives say there will be plenty of attractions.
Those include management, engineering, IT, guest services, lifeguards and housekeepers. Once it is completed, the lodge will create another 500 permanent jobs. Those behind the project expect it to create nearly 400 construction and trade jobs, as workers take on 1.1 million labor hours over the next two year.
