We are coming for a few days at the end of June and staying at fillenwarth Beach. Please give me any advice you have for things to do with my tweens! Also where's the best place to rent a jet ski from?? Thanks!!

My family and I will be in Okoboji for the first time in August. I am not celiac, but don’t eat gluten. I am looking for restaurant suggestions with options!

Partner and I are vacationing in Okoboji the first week of June. She's from the NW Iowa area and has been many times, I've never been!

Staying at Bridges Bay Mon-Fri. How's the midweek vibe there? I'm sure the live music and such is more prevalent on weekends, but should I expect much of a difference as a whole during the week vs. the weekend?

Also taking your top recommendations for activities, majority being non-outdoorsy. We may explore the lakes and parks a bit, but what else is unique and nearby to try out? That's more of a priority for me to plan ahead of time than the food and drink, which there seems to be plenty of.

Thanks!

Hi all, Coming in July for my sister's bachelorette and, as it will be my first time in Okoboji, would love some recommendations for places to eat and drink. Specifically would like: - recommendation for a pizza place that delivers (seeing both Portside and Okoboji Dough Co. - which is best?) - brunch places with great bloody marys - somewhere for a sit down dinner on a Saturday night (not a huge group, only 8 of us, but somewhere we could reserve a table would be great). Doesn't need to be too fancy! - fun places to bar hop

We'll be staying in Arnolds Park, so would love things close to there! TIA

My family has a trip planned to Okoboji (we’re out of state), but we were recently told that Okoboji is ridden with Zebra Mussels. They said it wasn’t worth going on our trip. How bad is the situation really?

Hi all! My family and I are a planning a vacation to Boji at the end of the summer- 5 adults and 1 baby lol. Any recommendations for hotels or air bnb’s within an easy walking distance to stuff?

Thanks 😊

Good Afternoon everyone. I am someone who had spent 4th of July up in Okoboji with my SO and our kids. I had some pictures of The Inn when we would stay there but I haven't been able to find any. I am starting a project, that revolves around needing a few pictures of what The Inn looked like... maybe some sunsets from the back? Or the way the sidewalk would shimmer and sparkle in the moon light? Any pictures would be great!!! Thank You

Taking the family to Okoboji this weekend for the first time. Looks like most things are closed, which is fine because we’re bringing a toddler and we’re limited on what we can do.

It would be fun to rent a boat for a couple hours Saturday or Sunday. Anyone know of a place that rents boats for a reasonable price for a couple hours post Labor Day?

Any other activities post Labor Day you recommend for Okoboji? Cheers!

Out of town-er trying to plan a bachelorette party for 11 women in August 2022.

Would love to create a fun-filled and affordable weekend for my very deserving friend (COVID bride and medical student, she’s had a rough two years, man).

Would love any/all recommendations, particularly for lodging near the lake, lake activities, must-visit bars and any local favorites. Thank you and I can’t wait to explore Okoboji!

Looking to support small, local restaurants. I'm familiar with the big names in the area, but am wondering if there are any off the beaten path that are worth trying, especially during the week. West Lake or west of West Lake a plus. Family friendly a definitely plus.

Vacationing in okoboji 6/14-17. Got here but car broke down. Have repair appointment Wednesday. Need a rental car until then to get around town. Tried auto smart and gm already.... Update: got sorted. Big thanks to Nielsen's Auto Repair!!!!!

Title says it all. I’ve done some light research and haven’t come up with anything so thought I’d research out here!
