Arnolds Park, IA (KICD) — We’ve been counting down to summer at Arnolds Park Amusement Park this week. We’ve heard about new facilities and new rides. CEO Jon Pausley tells us there’s also a change for season ticket holders to get into the park faster.

Pausley also says some new technology will allow visitors to take some memories home.

And beginning this year: adults can sit in the shade and sip a locally-brewed beer while the kids ride.

“Regular” park hours will be 10am to 8pm Sunday through Thursday, 10 to 9 on Fridays, and 10 to 10 on Saturdays; but it’s always best to check their website ahead of your visit.
