NAPLES, Fla. — If you needed one more thing to add to your Florida bucket list for 2024, here you go!
The newest Great Wolf Lodge resort will bolster 500 family-friendly suites and an expansive 100,000-square-foot indoor water park in Naples.
The resort will sit on 20 acres of land on the eastern edge of Collier County near the Interstate 75 and Collier Boulevard interchange and next to the Paradise Coast Sports Complex, the resort website explains.
The website says construction is expected to be completed between 18 to 24 months and hopes to be opening its door in the spring or summer of 2024.
As of now, Tampa Bay-area families can enjoy the largest man-made lagoon in the United States.
Mirada Lagoon in Pasco County boasts 15 acres of crystal-clear water with plenty of space to swim, chairs for lounging, a water slide and access to a swim-up bar all with that beach-like feeling. Oh, and we can't forget the splash zone where kids can find a fun jungle gym to cool off.
The lagoon is located at 1 Mirada Blvd. in San Antonio, Florida. It's been open to the community but now is open to the public. Before you head over, plan your day based on what you're looking for.
The lagoon is open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Visitors are able to purchase a day pass and save $2 per ticket compared to the price of a pass if you walk up. All-day passes range from $20 to $40 and are available Monday through Sunday. Late-day passes from 3 p.m. until close start at $13 and rises to $32 and are also available Monday through Sunday.
