Great Wolf Lodge’s Valentine’s Day Dinner

Candlelight dinner in a private cabana + a lazy river filled with rose petals = pure romance on Valentine’s Day this year at Great Wolf Lodge.

Their “Romance on the River” package turns the waterpark into a no-kids-allowed night of gourmet dining, champagne and pure indulgence. It’s available only on Valentine’s Day (a Saturday this year!), in the Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania, and it’s an unforgettable experience unlike any you’ve encountered before!

Candlelight dinner in a private cabana + a lazy river filled with rose petals = pure romance

You may have thought Great Wolf Lodge was just for kids, but it turns out the indoor water park resort is a must-visit destination for some adults-only fun this Valentine’s Day! Great Wolf Lodge is transforming three of its locations into an unexpected romantic escape.

After a day of fun in the waterpark, leave the kids in your room with a babysitter, then get ready for fine dining. The romantic evening starts with a gourmet five-course meal served in private poolside cabanas in the waterpark after hours. With the park dimly lit and heated to a steamy 84 degrees and festive Valentine’s Day decorations creating a romantic atmosphere, it’s a unique way to celebrate your love!

The experience, priced at $299 per couple ($399 with wine pairings), includes a menu of mouthwatering foods you’d never expect at an indoor waterpark, such as:

Selection of hors d’ouevres including smoked salmon rosettes and King crab ceviche
Cucumber wrapped greens with edible flowers that’s almost too pretty to eat
Butter poached lobster with tagliolini pasta, crispy pancetta and green peas in a rich Chardonnay butter sauce
Pan-seared day boat scallops with brown butter and velvety cauliflower velouté
Braised Wagyu short rib in a port wine reduction with a potato puree and caramelized Cipollini onions.

Once dinner wraps, you and your date can drift along the lazy winding river, which is filled with rose petals and floating flickering candles, while a string musician serenades you and servers offer up flutes of champagne and bite-sized sweet treats, including:

Fresh strawberries and mascarpone with basil and a balsamic drizzle
Citrus olive oil cake bites with raspberry and orange Chantilly cream
Valrhona chocolate tart with salted honey and poached pear.

-Private cabana for two
