Hungry families will discover an incredible selection of culinary delights at Great Wolf Lodge Arizona. The new 350-suite family resort opening this September will offer nine unique eateries that range from an elevated full-service dining experience at Barnwood to an array of ice cream delights found at Ben & Jerry’s. With dining options inside the 85,000-square-foot water park and throughout the resort, guests visiting Great Wolf Lodge Arizona will never be more than a few feet away from a delicious meal, snack, treat or refreshing beverage.

“We are excited to bring a diverse variety of dining options to families visiting Great Wolf Lodge Arizona,” shared Mark Nelsen, the resort’s director of food and beverage. “With an eclectic array of restaurants, dishes that address common allergies and dietary restrictions, and menus featuring fresh ingredients from local purveyors and farmers, we are confident family members of all ages will love the culinary offerings at Great Wolf Lodge Arizona as much as the water slides.”

Developing the menus and ensuring culinary excellence across the resort is Executive Chef, Grant Baker. Using the Southwestern culture, produce and spices as inspiration, Chef Grant is preparing a variety of dishes that bring together regional flavors with traditional Great Wolf Lodge favorites.  Here’s what guests can expect:

The Main Course 

Families can start their day at Campfire Kitchen, an interactive a la carte cafe located inside the resort’s Adventure Park with a breakfast menu featuring farm fresh eggs, Applewood smoked bacon, signature wolf paw-shaped waffles, fresh fruits and more. For dinner, the Campfire Kitchen menu transforms to offer a collection of international and regional specialties designed to please every palate, as well as kid-friendly favorites like mac n’ cheese and chicken tenders to ensure tasty options are available for every age. 

Feeding an entire pack doesn’t get easier than at Hungry as a Wolf, where made-to-order handcrafted pizzas are waiting for families looking to replenish after a fun-filled day at the water park. Guests can indulge in a variety of options from a classic cheese pie and meat lover’s delight to tasty sandwiches, chicken wings, pastas, and fresh salads.

A perfect way to end a day of family fun is unwinding at Barnwood, featuring a fresh and seasonal menu in a rustic-themed setting with both indoor and outdoor seating options. The menu will feature an ever-changing array of dishes made from locally sourced ingredients and reflect what is fresh and in-season. Barnwood will also offer an extensive menu of signature cocktails, wines and craft beers for adults.

Inside the Water Park 

For the times hunger just can’t wait until the wolf pups dry off, guests can enjoy a meal at Buckets Incredible Craveables, located just steps from the slides and attractions inside the water park. Mouth-watering burgers, sandwiches, and salads will be on the menu at this family-friendly spot.  No trip to Great Wolf Lodge is complete without trying this restaurant’s signature Tipping Bucket Sundae, a pack-sized treat layered with ice cream, brownies, cookies, candy, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. 

Another poolside option is The Watering Hole, which will offer refreshing soft drinks and iced teas – plus an impressive roster of blended drinks and ice-cold beers for adult guests.
