Bridges Bay is the premier resort community in all of Okoboji with a large indoor and outdoor waterpark. As a guest at the resort you receive six complimentary passes to the waterpark for each night of your stay. Additional waterpark passes are available at a reduced rate.
In addition to the waterpark expansion last year, the resort also added a huge new arcade room. There is also a fitness center adjacent to the waterpark (see front desk at hotel for a keycard) and a small business center.
Outdoors, there is a playground adjacent to the waterpark along with a fun zipline (you can purchase tickets right at the zipline or in entrance packages over at the waterpark), a stocked fishing pond for the kids, and a basketball court. You can also fish right off the docks down by the hotel and restaurants.
Okoboji also offers a wide range of fun activities year round. During the summer you can rent boats and a variety of other watercraft nearby including paddleboards and kayaks. You can also rent bicycles. Make sure to check out the Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings.
There are many nice fall days where you can still get out and enjoy the lake or go hiking. As Halloween approaches there are corn mazes and pumpkin fests. During the winter months check out the cross-country ski trails, snowmobiling (including snowmobile races), and ice fishing. The waterpark is generally open on weekends between Labor Day and Memorial Day so after a fun day outside you can warm up in the hot tub or relax floating along the lazy river. Or if you need a break from the snow and cold, bring the kids for a fun weekend at the waterpark.
