History

KeyLime Cove was a resort that featured an indoor waterpark, similar to its neighbor Six Flags Great America's Hurricane Harbor. It had a Key West theme. On April 19, 2017, Key Lime Cove closed permanently. [2] Great Wolf Resorts announced that Great Wolf Lodge would be on the Key Lime Cove site and that it will be opening on July 1, 2018. [3] The new resort's opening was delayed, but it opened on July 22, 2018. [4] The resort was changed completely. The Great Wolf Lodge resort's theme was changed from the Key West theme that KeyLime Cove had to a forest, wooden theme that Great Wolf Lodge now uses.
