Adventureland Inn, the hotel that accompanied Iowa's largest theme park, won't reopen. What's next for the property?

Park officials said the hotel, which opened in 1953 ahead of the amusement park, will be converted into employee housing.

In November 2024, Adventureland announced the inn would be closed in the off-season. In a statement to Local 5, General Manager Mike Lusky said Spectators Sports Bar and Grill will still be open seven days a week.
