The northwoods themed, six-story, approximately 400-suite resort will provide a comprehensive package of first-class destination lodging amenities and activities. Amenities will include an 80,000 square-foot indoor entertainment area featuring a year-round waterpark, arcade, Aveda® Concept Spa, and fitness room. The resort will also have multiple family restaurants, a gift emporium, confectionery, outdoor recreation area and more. Construction on the approximately 400,000 square-foot building is scheduled to begin spring 2006 with a grand opening slated for summer/fall 2007. 

Great Wolf Lodge will be developed in the northern suburbs of both Dallas and Forth Worth, near the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, at the intersection of State Highway 26 and Business 114 across from the Gaylord Texan. 

"The central location near Dallas and Fort Worth, and adjacent to the DFW Airport makes Grapevine a very strategic location in this region," said John Emery, Great Wolf Resorts' chief executive officer. "This location has a higher population within a 60-mile radius than any existing Great Wolf Lodge property and the combined Dallas and Fort Worth region is the 7th largest market area in the United States. Great Wolf Lodge will complement Grapevine as an emerging upscale entertainment destination." 

Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine adds to an already robust development schedule for Great Wolf Resorts. Current projects under construction or in pre-development include: 

• Pocono Mountains, Pa - 401-suite resort, opening October 2005.
• Wisconsin Dells, Wis. - waterpark expansion, target opening March 2006.
