The First Metropolis Minute: Costumes, Conferences, and a New Favorite at City Eats
Welcome to the very first edition of the Metropolis Minute!
If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at Metropolis Resort, this is for you. Each week, we’ll be pulling back the curtain and giving you a quick look at what’s happening across the resort. Think of it as your insider’s guide to the fun moments, exciting changes, and the little details that all come together to create memories for you, our guests.
We want you to feel connected not just to what we do, but why we do it. At Metropolis, everything we plan, from new menu items to mascot costumes to the conferences we host, has one goal in mind: helping families, groups, and guests make the most of their time with us.
So, here’s what happened this week:
In Case You Missed It: Splasharoo Found a Halloween Costume
Spooky season is officially here, and Splasharoo didn’t want to be left out of the fun. Our favorite mascot has been testing out his new Halloween look, and let’s just say he’s ready for trick-or-treating.
The team had a blast helping him find just the right outfit. Something fun, family-friendly, and a little silly (in true Splasharoo fashion). If you see him around the resort, don’t be surprised if he shows off his “spooky strut.”
Halloween is one of our favorite times of year to decorate, celebrate, and let our creativity shine and seeing Splasharoo join in is just one more way we hope to make the season memorable.
What’s New at City Eats: The Caesar Salad Wrap
Food is such a big part of the resort experience, and our team is always looking for ways to add variety for guests. This week, we introduced a new menu item at City Eats: the Caesar Salad Wrap.
It’s crisp, flavorful, and perfect if you want something lighter before heading back into Action City or Chaos Water Park. Our staff gave it a try, and it quickly became a favorite. It’s always exciting to test new menu items and see if they become a guest-favorite.
If you’re planning a trip soon, we’d love for you to give it a try.
Hosting the AGLOW Conference
Metropolis isn’t just about water slides and arcade games. It’s also a place where people come together for meaningful events. This week, we had the pleasure of hosting the Association of Great Lakes Outdoor Writers Conference.
Groups like AGLOW help bring energy to the resort during the week. Attendees gather to share ideas and connect; plus they get to experience the fun side of Metropolis, whether that’s enjoying a meal together at City Eats, catching up in the hotel, or letting off steam with some arcade games.
Hosting conferences is one of our favorite ways to show the flexibility of the resort. We’re not just a destination for families, we’re also a place for organizations and groups looking for a mix of productivity and play.
Looking Ahead: Fall Fun + Halloween Deals
As you might have noticed, the resort has gotten a spooky makeover. Cobwebs, pumpkins, and Halloween surprises are tucked into every corner, and our Fall Fright Nights are in full swing.
If you’re looking for a fall getaway this weekend, we still have rooms available at 25% off. We also have themed deals on Action City and Chaos Water Park Passes! It’s the perfect excuse to treat the family to a night away and soak in all the Halloween magic we’ve been working on.
That wraps up the very first Metropolis Minute. Thanks for following along! We’re so excited to share more stories, updates, and behind-the-scenes moments with you each week. After all, the fun never stops at Metropolis and now you have a front-row seat.
