Connecticut’s Great Wolf Lodge location will open earlier than planned.
In November, the company said it would open on May 23, which was ahead of schedule, but now it will open even earlier. The new opening date is now May 9.
The new resort and waterpark is adjacent to Foxwoods Resort Casino.
It will include 13 slides, a wave pool, a lazy river and water play areas.

Some events are planned ahead of the opening, including the “Patriots Plunge with New England Patriots Players.”
It will happen on Tuesday, March 4 at 10 a.m. Christian Gonzalez, Keion White and David Andrews will take part in a Slide-a-Thon fundraiser for Make-A-Wish.
