Cragun’s Resort Unveils Unbeatable Family Reunion Package

BRAINERD, Minn. (Sept. 12, 2024) — With more families embracing wintertime as the perfect season to plan a reunion, Cragun’s Resort, Golf & Conference Center on Gull Lake in Brainerd, Minn., is offering a Family Reunion package featuring deep discounts and a complimentary hospitality room for everyone to conveniently gather.

Guests who have only visited Cragun’s during the warmer months may not recognize the lakeside resort during the winter. Not only does the staff go all out with decorations and lights to make the holidays even more magical, but it also offers a wide range of activities that appeal to all family members, no matter the age, including:

• Ice fishing, ice skating, and ice bowling
• Horse-drawn trolley rides and dog sled rides
• Snowmobiling (with snowmobiles of all sizes)
• Broomball
• Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing
• Cardboard sled derbies

The Family Reunion package can be booked now and is available Nov. 15 through March 31, 2025. In addition to the hospitality room, it offers two complimentary suite upgrades, 10 percent off catered food and beverage functions, discounted lodge rooms and cabins, and a $100 gift card for use anywhere at the resort.

Plus, the Cragun’s Vacation Planners, a team of 10 professionals, will work with families to plan a memorable reunion. “I so appreciated their patience, support, responsiveness, and professionalism throughout the planning process,” Andy Kaul from Minneapolis said after his family wrapped up their family reunion this year. “This was our fourth family reunion and I heard from maybe a dozen different family members that Cragun’s was their favorite location by far.”

Add in a handful of family-oriented restaurants and a large indoor sports center for basketball, pickleball, tennis, and more, and it is little wonder that the GoWhee.com site, which provides reliable travel recommendations for families, lists Cragun’s as one of its top choices for “Best Winter Vacations for Families That Love Snow.”

Misty Nigro of Bonita Springs, Fla., said, “Our first visit was during the winter. It was truly magical! My son has always dreamed of skating and playing hockey on a frozen lake and Cragun’s made that dream come true.”
