It’s Still Summer Inside! Enjoy Woodloch’s Indoor Pools

Just because Lake Teedyuskung and the surrounding Pocono Mountains are covered in soft, bright snow doesn’t mean you can’t soak, splash, and swim inside Woodloch Resort, one of the best resorts in the US. After you’ve had your fill of ice skating, and snow tubing, treat the family to an afternoon of indoor water excitement. We have indoor pools, Jacuzzis, saunas, and the famous Splash Zone, all within steps from our signature accommodations.

Winter is the perfect time to take advantage of our cheap weekend getaways. Take a peek at our rates calendar to find an extended stay that perfectly fits your busy schedule. But first, keep reading to learn about our indoor water adventure possibilities.

Indoor Splash Zone

One of the main reasons that our cheap weekend getaways are so alluring to families is the indoor Splash Zone, which isn’t just for kiddos! Zoom down the double corkscrew super slide, or stand underneath the “Superdome” water tower (if you dare) and eagerly wait for 300 gallons of warm water to come spilling from above. The Splash Zone has water gushing, spouting, and falling from nearly every crevice.

Woodloch Springs Sports Complex

The Woodloch Springs Sports Complex is the ideal place for adults to unwind on our campus. This more serene pool area is often utilized by couples, large groups, and families who enroll in the Starfish Swim School. The pool is kept at a very comfortable 84 degrees at all times. You’ll notice the stunning wooded cathedral ceilings upon arrival. Are you looking for a workout? Test your abilities by swimming 44 laps of the pool (which equals one mile).

Indoor Pool

Contrary to the Sports Complex, the Woodloch Resort indoor pool was made for cannonballs, slam dunks, and Marco Polo. A certified lifeguard is always on duty, so mom and dad can relax in a soothing Jacuzzi or a steamy sauna. The newly-renovated indoor pool area has comfortable chaise lounges and large windows that showcase the snow-covered Pocono Mountains.

Kiddie Pool

Our kiddie pool is a whimsical, nature-themed indoor wonderland for little ones still learning to swim. Your children can splash around with larger-than-life artificial beavers, dogs, and owls in one foot of water. The room was beautifully painted to resemble a critter-filled forest. Special amenities, such as the adorable kiddie pool, make us one of the best kid-friendly resorts in North America.

Cheap Mini-Vacations: Hit the Slopes at Big Bear

Just because you’re on a tight budget doesn’t mean you can’t treat the entire family to a week of skiing in the Poconos at one of the best kid-friendly resorts in North America. Woodloch Resort has a built a five-star reputation because of its homegrown, family-oriented activities, eye-popping nightly entertainment, and all-inclusive meal plans. What many don’t realize is that we also offer cheap mini-vacations and Ski and Stay packages at nearby Ski Big Bear at Masthope Mountain during winter’s “off-season.”

Ski and Stay Packages

Most cheap mini-vacations in the Poconos don’t include spacious accommodations, unlimited skiing, all-inclusive meals, daily activities, and nightly entertainment, but Woodloch Resort isn’t like most family resorts. Our mid-week Ski and Stay packages start as low as $141 per adult, per night. Kids six and under stay free, while anyone under 20 is half-off! Keep reading if you’re curious about what Ski Big Bear has to offer.

Ski Big Bear at Masthope Mountain

Ski Big Bear has a wide variety of slopes that all lead to the bottom of Masthope Mountain. Depending on your skill level, you can flash down Screaming Demon, freestyle down Devil’s Bowl, or steadily cruise down Snowbird. Their 18 trails range from easy to double-diamond. Beginners start at Snowbird and work their way to Upper Jamboree, Grizzly, and Upper Polar Bear. Ski Big Bear is beloved by experienced skiers and snowboarders because of its six “difficult” hills. Take a peek at their trail map to see Masthope Mountain’s layout. You can also take lessons, snow tube, or try cross-country skiing.

Plan a Snowy Family Reunion at Woodloch

Because the rates here at Woodloch Resort dip so incredibly low during the winter months, our most popular season for family reunions is winter. The summer crowds have slowly faded, the rates couldn’t be any lower, and everyone’s itching for a weekend away in the middle of winter. While your family cannot play 18 holes, waterski on Teedyuskung Lake, or reel in a catfish, our winter wonderland is home to several exhilarating outdoor activities.

Large groups have been gathering at Woodloch, one of the best family resorts in North America, since 1958. All you have to do is choose the dates, relax, have fun, and let us do the rest!

Spacious Meeting Rooms

Woodloch Resort can accommodate families of any size thanks to our many elegant meeting rooms. The classic and comfortable Mt. Laurel Room can be divided in two, creating an intimate family-style dining experience with lake-view bay windows and cozy fireplaces. The Keystone Room is conveniently located near outdoor adventures in the heart of the resort. Use the projector to screen a favorite movie or a family film, or take full advantage of the Keystone bar. Woodloch Springs has several smaller, business-style rooms, perfect for medium-sized family reunions looking for a quick meal in-between activities.

On-Site Catering

We wouldn’t be one of the best family resorts near New York City if we didn’t offer spectacular on-site catering services. If you take a peek at our extensive banquet menu, you’ll notice that we can oblige any dietary need. All meals include coffee, tea, milk, and soft drinks. Our breakfast options range from eggs benedict and buttermilk pancakes to a make-your-own breakfast burrito bar. Devour juicy burgers, tasty gyros, or classic tuna salad sandwiches at lunchtime. Dinner can be as elaborate as a Kansas City “steak-off” or as simple as a pizza station.

Winter Wonderland Activities

Woodloch Resort’s catered meals and elegant rooms are fantastic, but you likely sought us out for our home-grown, family-friendly activities. The overall family-oriented atmosphere here in the Pocono Mountains is why so many families choose Woodloch for a reunion. The entire family can ice skate on Teedyuskung Lake, slide down our meticulously-groomed snow tubing hill, and get soaked in our indoor Splash Zone. Our indoor options are seemingly endless: bakery wars, bingo, bumper cars, escape rooms, wine tasting, and everything in-between.
