Minnesota & Wisconsin Families Doing a Double Take Over New Great Wolf Lodge Treat

Minnesota and Wisconsin both have locations of the popular waterpark resort, Great Wolf Lodge, known for its family-friendly approach, large indoor waterparks, and other fun amenities.

Located in Wisconsin Dells and in Bloomington, Minnesota, near the Mall of America, Great Wolf offers year-round fun and remains one of the top family getaway spots in the Midwest. If you are planning a trip soon, there is something new to watch for.

A Limited-Time Milkshake With a Twist

Starting March 5, visitors to any Great Wolf Lodge location in the United States can try the new Ranch Milkshake, available through May 20. According to Great Wolf, the shake can be sipped, gulped, or even used as a dip.

The milkshake features vanilla ice cream blended with ranch dressing and a sweet and salty lime rim. Toppings include crispy chicken, celery, carrots, and of course, whipped cream.

The shake will be highlighted on National Ranch Day, celebrated this year on March 10. For that day only, Great Wolf Lodge will offer the Ranch Milkshake for $3.10.

Would You Try It?

I will admit that I would try it. I am not sure how much ranch and vanilla ice cream I could handle before tapping out, but the idea of using it as a dip might actually be the way to go. Now if only they also served Wendy’s French fries.

There’s a famous line in Jurassic Park where Jeff Goldblum’s character points out that scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they did not stop to think if they should. That quote feels oddly appropriate here. Just because ranch dressing and vanilla ice cream can share a blender does not necessarily mean they were destined to.
