Arnolds Park is in the center of the Iowa Great Lakes resort region. It is home to a historic amusement park, also called Arnolds Park, which features Legend, An ACE Coaster Landmark.[11] Legend, which carried its first riders in 1927, is believed to be the 13th oldest wooden roller coaster in the U.S. In 2012 the amusement park was selected as one of the fifteen best in the Midwest region by Midwest Living magazine.[12]

Other landmarks

Other major landmarks of the city include the Central Emporium shopping mall and the Iowa Great Lakes Maritime Museum and the Iowa Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.

Rock'n'Roll has a storied history in the area. The old Roof Garden Ballroom in Arnolds Park, on West Lake Okoboji, for example, once attracted the likes of Jerry Lee Lewis, the Everly Brothers, the Guess Who and even country music legend, Johnny Cash, according to The Daily Globe, a Worthington, Minnesota-based newspaper.[13] The Coney Island-style dance hall was housed on the second floor of a two-story wooden structure (the first floor housed a gift shop and a funhouse, the latter extending into an adjoining structure). The original Roof Garden / Funhouse / theater was razed in 1987, during a transition of ownership.[14]

One musician who played The Roof Garden said BJ Thomas, during a pre-show rehearsal, tossed sheet music in Burt Bacharach's own handwriting to the band so they could rehearse, "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head."[15] "Musical magic seemed to happen all the time in Arnolds Park", says one article.[16] A new Roof Garden debuted in 2019 near its original location in the amusement park and closely resembles the iconic original, including the name in letters large enough to be seen across the lake.[14]

Located in Arnolds Park is the Abbie Gardner Sharp Cabin Museum, a site of the 1857 "Spirit Lake Massacre", a violent conflict between European settlers and Native Americans. Next to the cabin is the small Pillsbury Point State Park.

Education

The community is served by the Okoboji Community School District.[17] The district was established on July 1, 1988, by the merger of the Arnolds Park and Milford school districts.[18] Okoboji High School in Milford is the local high school.
