Each year we take a family trip to one and since one opened up in Colorado Springs earlier this year it&rsquo;s our new go to location. It makes for a fun, quick getaway since it&rsquo;s only about an hour from us. We were invited to check out Snowland at Great Wolf Lodge and we were so excited to attend, especially since I was already talking with my husband about making plans to head down again. I love all things Christmas and really wanted to see how they turn the resort into a snowy wonderland for the Holidays.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/2017\/11\/snowland-at-great-wolf-lodge-is-a-fun-way-to-celebrate-the-holidays-gwlsnowland\/great-wolf-lodge-colorado-springs-snowland2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-14217\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14217\" src=\"http:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2.jpg 750w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2-255x255.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" data-webp=\"true\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14217 lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) calc(100vw - 48px), 750px\" data-webp=\"true\" data-src=\"http:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2.jpg 750w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2-125x125.jpg 125w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Great-Wolf-Lodge-Colorado-Springs-Snowland2-255x255.jpg 255w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20750%20750'%3E%3Crect%20width='750'%20height='750'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Snowland at Great Wolf Lodge in Colorado Springs was a little special this year because it&rsquo;s their first one.

If you&rsquo;re going to visit Great Wolf Lodge I highly recommend getting a Paw Pass.

Her nails are a glistening pink color and she loved being able to get pampered in a spa geared towards kids. She always looks forward to a new bath bomb when we visit. She loves being able to take a bath after a day at the water park. Bath bombs make bath time a little more relaxing and they smell delicious.<\/p>\n<p>If you&rsquo;re not familiar with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/colorado-springs\/waterpark-attractions\/fitness-spa\/scooops-kid-spa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">Scoops Kids Spa<\/a> it&rsquo;s a spa in the resort for kids. They do ice cream-themed Manicures and Pedicures, but don&rsquo;t worry mom. They do Mommy &amp; Me pedicures so you both can experience the fun. Make sure to schedule your appointment before you arrive, but you don&rsquo;t have to be a guest to take advantage of the spa. You can stop in anytime if you&rsquo;re in the area to get your little one a manicure. I would suggest making an appointment because they can get busy.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><center>\n<div id=\"attachment_14222\" style=\"width: 572px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/2017\/11\/snowland-at-great-wolf-lodge-is-a-fun-way-to-celebrate-the-holidays-gwlsnowland\/23755246_10154916398211078_2506297823740631128_n\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-14222\"><noscript><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14222\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-14222\" src=\"http:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/23755246_10154916398211078_2506297823740631128_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"562\" height=\"749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/23755246_10154916398211078_2506297823740631128_n.jpg 720w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/23755246_10154916398211078_2506297823740631128_n-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/23755246_10154916398211078_2506297823740631128_n-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 562px) 100vw, 562px\" data-webp=\"true\"><\/noscript><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14222\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-14222 lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"562\" height=\"749\" sizes=\"(max-width: 562px) calc(100vw - 48px), 562px\" data-webp=\"true\" data-src=\"http:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/23755246_10154916398211078_2506297823740631128_n.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/23755246_10154916398211078_2506297823740631128_n.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/23755246_10154916398211078_2506297823740631128_n.jpg 720w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/23755246_10154916398211078_2506297823740631128_n-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/thedenverhousewife.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/23755246_10154916398211078_2506297823740631128_n-300x400.jpg 300w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20562%20749'%3E%3Crect%20width='562'%20height='749'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-11\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-14222\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Look at that breathtaking view from our balcony.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p><\/center>One of the great things about Great Wolf Lodge is that everything but the water park is open to the public.
