18-hole Mini Golf
Perfect for ages four and up, this new interactive mini golf course takes inspiration from the region’s rich history. The easy-to-navigate layout makes it accessible for beginners, while creative obstacles—like a miniature replica of The Forge’s iconic climbing tower at hole 10—ensure excitement for more experienced players. Open with extended hours, mini golf tickets are available à la carte, making it an easy and flexible addition to any day at the park.
Kids Discovery Zone
Let little adventurers roam and explore in the brand-new Kids Discovery Zone. This nature-based area is designed for kids ages three to 12, offering hands-on play in a wide-open prairie environment. Water features, natural climbing structures, and tactile play zones encourage motor development, creativity and a love for the outdoors.
Lawn Games
Visitors of all ages can enjoy classic lawn games throughout the summer. From the strategic fun of Bocce Ball to the energy of Gaga Ball, the simple joy of Horseshoes, or the oversized challenge of giant Connect Four, these games offer casual fun and friendly competition for all.
VIP Lounges
Planning on attending The Little Mermen concert or the Taylor Swift tribute? Add a VIP lounge to your ticket! Each VIP lounge accommodates six to eight guests with indoor/outdoor seating and rooftop decks overlooking the park. These spaces include a private server for food and beverage orders. Prices start at $250 (plus event ticket), making them a great option for an elevated concert experience, birthdays or private party.
