Staffing Shortage Leads To Lost Island Waterpark Closures
Many families here in Iowa spend at least one of their Summer days in Waterloo at Eastern Iowa's best waterpark, Lost Island. My family was one of them, but this year you may want to take a look at their schedule.
Starting August 3rd Iowa's largest waterpark will be seeing closures on Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout the remainder of the season due to a staffing shortage. They announced this on a Facebook posted earlier this week,
Due to challenges maintaining critical staffing levels, the waterpark will be closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays for the remainder of the season. Golf and Go-karts will remain open regular hours.
Many were sad to see this amazing Waterloo waterpark have to adjust its hours, but it is now confirmed that they will be closed: August 3rd, 4th, 10th, 11th, 17th, & 18th. As someone who has gone to the park a few times each year throughout my childhood, and adult life this news is hard to hear, hopefully by next year as things continue to head towards "normal" they can find success with staffing.

This news comes only weeks after an incredible announcement by the waterpark. Earlier this month Lost Island not only ranked in the top 10 best outdoor waterparks on USA Today's list, but they ranked second!
For those of you who still have a trip planned to this great park, the waterpark will still be open Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, along with the usual Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 a.m. - 6:30 p.m. Go-karts and mini golf are open from 2 - 9 p.m.
More information can be found on their website here.
