Great Wolf Lodge Maryland is an indoor waterpark resort in Perryville, MD, with a 126,000 square foot water park kept at 84 degrees year-round, plus a ropes course, mini golf, mini bowling, an arcade and a mirror maze under the same roof.

Day passes open the water park to people who are not staying overnight, so a winter swim day works without a hotel room; the lodge caps the number sold, so book a date ahead. Slides, a wave pool, a lazy river and kiddie splash areas fill the 84-degree park, and the dry side adds a ropes course, mini golf, mini bowling and a Build-A-Bear Workshop.

Before you go

Day passes sell out on busy dates, so pick your date and book ahead. Towels and Coast Guard approved life jackets are provided. Children under 18 need an adult with them in the water park. No pets. Parking is $20 plus tax per vehicle.

Coming up

Howl-O-Ween runs September 24 to October 31, 2026, with a trick-or-treat trail, a Monster Bash dance party, crafts, Boo Bingo and the Ghostly Globes light shows included with a stay.
