Arnolds Park, IA (Northwestiowanow.com) — The Manager at Arnolds Park Amusement Park says it was a strong summer.

CEO Jon Pausley says visitors seemed to notice the three priorities set for 2025: Clean restrooms, new paint, and updated rides.

 

Pausley tells KICD News that after a decade of MAJOR upgrades, getting ready for 2026 will be less intense.

Pausley says the paid Friday night concerts have been a hit for two summers in a row, so expect more next year, and he says the schedule for the free Saturday night concerts next year is nearly put together already
