Wow. What an absolute letdown. First off, waiting until 10:00 AM to announce that the pool would be…read moreclosed "due to the storm" overnight-- which, let's be honest, was an over dramatized excuse for brief rain and a few leaves. This isn't about weather. It's about mismanagement and a complete lack of regard for guest experience. From the moment we arrived, it was obvious the place is understaffed, underpaid, and overhyped. The staff seem beat down and defeated--not because they don't care, but because leadership clearly doesn't support them. No one is focused on real customer service. Promises mean nothing here. After talking with staff- I realized this isn't a one-time issue--it's a pattern. Over promise and under deliver! From delayed check in times, lack of communication on hours, dirty room, and unmet promises. Guests are left to deal with the disappointment while management shrugs it off and moves on to the next family willing to gamble their hard-earned money on what should be a fun getaway. As long as people keep booking, the quality will stay rock-bottom. If you're considering Bridges Bay for your family trip, ask yourself: Do I really want to risk wasting my money and my kids' excitement on an experience that's just not delivered? Do better, Bridges Bay. (And whomever "John Gravel" is...time to take pride in your job! And if the responsibility lies on those above you-might be time to think about a career change! You should be treated better. Owners- get John some darn support! The service is failing! )

I did not have any internet for my entire stay in Summer Lake Building (Friday to Monday). I called…read moreimmediately and a maintenance person did come over. Said he would reset the router and came back and still no internet. Said a repair person was on the way for other building & would also fix my building. Never happened. I called Saturday AM & was told that the internet company never responded to them. Friday night, I came back to my room and a VERY LOUD live band was playing nonstop horrible music. Even with all windows and patio door closed it was unbearable. I called and was told they did not know the restaurant was having live music but they should be quitting when they finished their set??? or at 10pm when restaurant closed. At 11:15pm they were still playing. IT WAS HORRIBLE!!!!! The toilet is very outdated-height from floor very low! Only had half roll of toilet paper and had to walk over to checkin building because house keeping was gone for day to be given one small roll of tp. Window only opened a crack and no screen on patio door. Opened door for very short time and immediately huge mosquitoes were all over room. Some of towels were thin and stained. For average of $435/night it was a total ripoff! I think the entire area is way overbuilt -can't imagine how much water is used. Minnesota has so many better options!

My daughter loves the water slides, rock climbing and zip line into the pool. I love there are plenty of things to go for kids of all ages. The con session stand is not too bad either.

I ordered an icee & a hot dog but when i was ordering one of the employees threw my stuff at me and laughed about it with her other coworkers. Not even that but when i was ordering the employees were talking about how dirty their concession stand was?

I came to Arnolds Park yearly as a kid on summer vacation. I remember such fond memories of riding…read morethe roller coaster with my family, making funny faces at the camera. Fast forward a few *cough* decades later and I got the chance to take my kiddos to the newly renovated park. We opted for a day pass for $40 each. I thought we got a lot of bang per buck and loved that we could leave the park for lunch in the air conditioning. The area by the lake (Lake View) is thoughtfully done, parking is a non-issue, staff was pleasant, wait lines were scarce -- and if rides aren't your thing there's a raceway and arcade. All in all a win! Don't go to Okoboji and not stop at Arnold's Park.

The lake, with several good places to eat nearby. Arnolds Park is a proper amusement park with many of the favorite rides. Nestled on the shore of Lake Okoboji, the feel reminded me of seaside and bayside parks. I t would be a great addition to a lakeshore vacation. It's fun, seemed safe, and the cost was reasonable when we went. No notion of the cost now. I expect it's still reasonable. The staff was pleasant and helpful. Parking was plentiful and easy. The food in the park was usual amusement park cuisine. No surprises. Just fun. The roller coaster reminded me of the sound of coasters from my childhood. I want to go back and ride it again. I bet we will, too.
