Over the past year, one of the things we missed most was vacationing with family. As we work our way back to normalcy, we ventured to test the waters by dipping our toes into a staycation at Gaylord Rockies. Once we got there, we didn't just dip our toes... we jumped all the way in, making a splash while creating unforgettable memories.
Gaylord Rockies is much more than a fancy hotel (although it most definitely is a luxurious place to rest your head). Gaylord Rockies is a full-fledged vacation resort with entertainment the whole family will get into - even the persnickety teenager. "Summer of More" is the theme of the season with MORE being the keyword... Gaylord Rockies provides all the opportunities to keep families entertained this summer.
If you and your family are ready to get back into vacation mode, start with booking a stay at Gaylord Rockies and choosing the Summer of More Package. This family-themed package includes; one night accommodations, $25 food and beverage credit, two scavenger hunt booklets, and two S'mores kits. Click here for details.
Gaylord hosted our family for a "Summer of More" visit and invited us to participate in many of the Pirate and Princess themed activities so we could share our experience with you. Read on to see a sample of our tour!
