Exciting Changes on the Island

Zao Island is receiving a spruce up! Fun-seekers will notice big changes around the park, with more to come in the future. The most noticeable alteration is found on the mini golf course, which received a paint job this year, along with a power-wash and vacuum. The course now boasts tropical colors, through the new paint and lights installed. “We went through and cleaned a lot up,” stated Ryan Wright, General Manager at Zao Island. “The course looks a lot nicer than before!

Along with the paint and lights, “all of the pumps and water features are working,” Wright went on to say. The fountains feature dyed water, in line with the tropical theme. The course will continue to evolve, with more colored lights added for an interactive night experience. Wright also wants to add music throughout the course in the future. “We have to work in stages,” he said.

Eight new games have been added to the game room, popular titles similar to the games at Dave and Buster’s in Chicago. Some of the new titles include Fruit Ninja, Treasure Quest, UFO Catcher, and Harpoon Lagoon. “We were one of the first to buy Harpoon Lagoon,” Wright shared. “The new games make us really current now. Even the adults have fun in the game room!” Titles acquired in the future will include more games based on phone apps, such as Temple Run.

The go cart track will also see some upgrades. Coming in very soon are three new jumbo carts. “These are the best ones you can get,” Wright shared. The carts even feature a “kiddie” wheel, so younger children can participate in the drive!

Still offering the same great food at Colada’s, diners will soon notice a change to the menu- digital! All of the menus in Colada’s will be changed over to digital boards. Attendees can get a taste of the digital look at the mini golf course, where the sign there has already switched over to the digital format.

The staff is dreaming big at the Island, in order to bring more fun to the region! Wright wants to expand the laser tag building, as well as the inflatables area. In the meantime, stop by Zao Island today for a fun experience!
