Great Wolf Resorts closed at $7.44 yesterday, more than 6 percent above an unsolicited offer of $7 per share from KSL Capital Partners for the water-park operator. The offer topped a $6.75 bid from Apollo Global Management.

Great Wolf said Sunday that it would consider KSL’s bid, although the company had said Friday that it agreed to the sweetened bid from Apollo. The latest offer from KSL, a private-equity firm, is 40 percent more than Apollo’s original $5 a share deal disclosed last month. Great Wolf owns 11 resorts that cater to families and feature indoor water parks.

The company was sued by shareholders who said Apollo’s initial $5 buyout bid undervalued the resort operator.
