By Rich Laden, The Gazette The Great Wolf Lodge on Colorado Springs’ far north side is set to howl sooner than expected. The sprawling resort, anchored by a 311-room, all-suite hotel and a 50,000-square-foot indoor water park, will open at 4 p.m. Dec. 16 – 10 days sooner than previously announced. Great Wolf is being developed by Wisconsin-based Great Wolf Resorts. Bookings have been strong, which was part of the reason to move up the resort’s opening, general manager James Anderson said Wednesday.
