Our favorite Great Wolf Lodge Halloween menu items to try in 2025
Howlin’ Wagyu Burger
The classic Great Wolf burger gets a scary-good glow-up with Wagyu beef, crackling pork belly, cheddar cheese and zesty aioli—all on a black charcoal-infused bun (don’t worry, the charcoal’s just for show). It’s all topped with a grinning skeleton you’ll want to stash in your Halloween bucket.
Big Wolf Combo Platter
Come with a monster-sized appetite for this platter! Choose two or three options between the BBQ pork ribs, chicken-fried steak, hand-dipped tenders or spicy andouille sausage. It’s all served with Cheeto-dusted elote-style corn (we promise it works!), fries and thick-cut Texas toast.
Cheesy Mac & Cheese Pizza
Ah, mac & cheese or pizza—the eternal decision. Now you don’t have to choose! This flavor mashup layers creamy alfredo sauce, mac & cheese noodles and a gooey blend of cheddar jack, mozzarella and provolone on a garlic-butter crust. Comfort food at its finest.
Garlic Herb Roasted Prime Rib Night
Sometimes Halloween calls for a feast! This tender 10-oz. prime rib is slow-roasted with garlic and herbs and served with au jus, horseradish, charred green beans, Caesar salad and your choice of sides. Perfect if you’re feeling a little fancy on a chilly night!
Pumpkin Pie Caramel Swirl Shake
It’s pumpkin spice season at Great Wolf Lodge! This shake is like Thanksgiving dessert in a glass: Pumpkin pie is blended with vanilla ice cream and topped with whipped cream, caramel drizzle and a sprinkle of nutmeg. Sweet, creamy and totally Instagram-worthy.
Worms in the Graveyard
Kids (and kids at heart) will love digging into crushed Oreo “dirt,” gummy worms and a swirl of sweet orange pastry cream. It’s spooky, it’s kooky, it’s 100% yooOOmy.
Fall Funnel Cake Fries with Pumpkin Caramel Dipping Sauce
This is sure to be a fall favorite! Crispy fried dough is shaped into easy-to-grab fries and dusted with cinnamon and powdered sugar. Pair it with the dipping sauce of sweet pumpkin caramel and you’re on (funnel) cloud nine.
Spiked Orange Phantom Cocktail
Spooky season is getting LIT! Vodka, triple sec, lemonade, orange juice and a splash of coconut cream team up for a ghostly glow-up that goes down like a treat. Plus, it comes in a collectible light-up cup!
Mali-Boo! Beach Ghost
This is a BOO-zy (get it??) blend of Midori, Malibu Rum, pineapple juice and sour mix that’s finished with a fizzy dash of lemon-lime Starry soda. It’ll have you feeling tiki torched up and transported to the beach…of DOOM!
More Howl-O-Ween fun at Great Wolf Lodge
Lucky for you, the age-old adage of waiting 30 minutes after you eat to swim is a myth—because the Howl-O-Ween fun does not stop after all the food at Great Wolf Lodge. On top of hitting the dozens of slides and pools this fall, keep an eye out for the other fun autumnal activities at the lodges, including:
- A Trick-or-Treat Trail with new Haribo candy stops
- A Monster Bash Dance Party for kids to shake their funky bones (ha!)
- Fall crafts like pumpkin origami, bracelets and keychains
- And Boo Bingo and Halloween trivia.
And if you can’t make it in the next few months, mark your calendar for Snowland at Great Wolf Lodge (November 24–January 4), a winter wonderland complete with nightly snowfalls, festive menus and visits from Santa.
Whether you stay for the weekend or just the afternoon, make your reservations soon—these spooky bites and sips go poof—gone after November 23!
