It all began with a giant toboggan waterslide. Pioneer developer Wesley Arnold built this thrilling ride first to draw visitors to his lakeshore property back in the early 1900s. Before long, the park evolved into a full-scale Coney Island-style destination.

Today, Historic Arnolds Park still features many timeless rides and attractions - the Queen II excursion boat, live concerts, special events, dining, shopping, water rentals, sandy beaches and the Iowa Great Lakes Maritime Museum - all nestled on the shores of Lake Okoboji.
