Great Wolf Lodge Arizona took another significant step in the construction process as Mortenson hoisted into place the final steel beam of the resort structure. The beam placed during the ceremonial “topping out” event this morning is part of the resort’s 27,000 square-foot Great Wolf Adventure Park, a family entertainment center with attractions such as a ropes course, climbing wall, miniature golf and Great Wolf Lodge’s signature interactive adventure game, MagiQuest. The “topping out” ceremony celebrates an important milestone in the construction timeline as it signifies the completion of vertical construction.
Before being hoisted into place, the beam was signed by stakeholders from Great Wolf Resorts, Mortenson, Gensler and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. A special signatory and participant at this morning’s event was Wiley the Wolf, the leader of Great Wolf Lodge’s pack of characters that will entertain children staying at the resort.
This milestone brings Great Wolf Lodge Arizona one step closer to its grand opening, which is scheduled for late summer/early fall 2019. The 350-room family resort is being constructed on an 18-acre site adjacent to Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, located within the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community’s Talking Stick Entertainment District. When complete, Great Wolf Arizona will be the company’s 18th indoor water park resort in North America, and first in the Southwest.
