The Connecticut BESTIES 2017: Prizes and Sponsors
Connecticut Besties Prize Packages from our sponsors
Grand Prize: A Family Getway to the Great Wolf Lodge Poconos
Great Wolf Lodge is North America’s largest family of indoor waterpark resorts with 13 locations across the U.S. and Canada. With no shortage of innovative rides and attractions, each Great Wolf Lodge boasts a massive 84-degree indoor waterpark with areas specifically designed for toddlers, tweens, teens, and even adults. When visitors aren’t splashing around in the waterpark, they can dry off and experience an array of amenities such as the dessert-themed Scooops Kid Spa®; interactive live-action role-playing game Magiquest®, specialty restaurants, arcades, and more. Our Grand Prize Winner will get to enjoy two nights in a family suite for two adults and two children.
We are big fans of the Great Wolf Lodge! Read about our recent stay at their Pocono Mountian resort.
1st Prize: Family four-pack of admission tickets to Quassy Amusement Park and Waterpark
Quassy Amusement Park and Waterpark in Middlebury, Connecticut features fantastic family rides, like the award-winning Wooden Warrior roller coaster, last year's thrilling debut, Reverse Time, and FRANTIC, that lets riders take a 360-degree topsy-turvy adventure. The park is also home to Splash Away Bay waterpark where you will find their latest attraction Slide City, a 5-slide complex for tots and dozens of other ways to get drenched on those hot, humid days. Quassy features a redemption arcade, Quassy Quest Laser Maze, midway games, live entertainment, and fantastic food. The park will open two new rides this summer, too! Our first prize winner will enjoy a family 4-pack of admission tickets to visit Quassy Amusement Park and Water Park.
