I’m sure it’s more exciting when it’s not winter time

5/5 - Excellent

I grew up on the Lakes. I brought my wife here for the first time. It snowed the day before we arrived. The whole area coated in beautiful white, with the blue waters of the lakes glistening. Darn near picture perfect.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Lived there for 3 years and what I loved most were the friends and neighbors living in the Park.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

My family loves the area! So much to see and do!

5/5 - Excellent

Be sure to visit the Maritime Museum. The museum, Arnold’s Park amusement park and the lake (West Okoboji) are just a five minute walk from the hotel.

Arnold’s Park is a fun family spot with lots to do for small children. Bridges Bay Resort needs better quality control with housekeeping. A $250 per night room should be spotless.
