Arnolds Park is surrounded by five lakes – West and East Lake Okoboji, Lake Minnewashta, and Upper and Lower Gar Lakes. Yet probably the prime attraction of the small city is its vintage amusement park. This was a prime tourist spot from the 19th century and drew visitors from all over to enjoy the colorful rides and all the fun of the fair. It fell out of fashion for a while but, thanks to restoration over the past couple of decades, people are once again discovering the charms of its wooden roller coasters and Ferris wheels.
