Gaylord Na onal Resort off ers your family a world
of possibility for a summer vaca on at a waterfront
des na on where you can have it all—and more–
in a premier loca on only a short drive from
Fredericksburg! With limited- me events at the
resort like a spectacular light show and a themed
pop-up lounge, new guest room renova ons, and
access to many popular des na ons, there is truly
something for everyone.
Start your morning with breakfast from Marketplace
brought directly to your brand-new guest room,

to a sunrise yoga session or for a few laps in the
junior Olympic-sized swimming pool. Spend me
lounging outdoors on the beau ful sun deck while
the kids play in the splash pad. Inside the 1.5-acre
glass garden atrium, kids can join in Wildlife
Rescue, an augmented reality experience presented
by bubly™, to fi nd and learn about a variety of
endangered animals. In the evenings the whole
family can enjoy sunset views over the river and the
Summer Laser Lightshow, a mesmerizing combina on

perfectly choregraphed into a stunning show.
