Mini Golf

Officials from Iowa’s Blank Park Zoo have announced the opening of the Holmes Foster Event Center, which will be home to educational activities, conservation programing, recreational events and private gatherings such as business meetings, weddings and reunions.

The 10,000 square foot building replaces the tent-like ZooPlex, which had exceeded its lifespan. The new building is temperature controlled, has a speaker prep area, bride and groom suites, AV, WI-FI, and a catering kitchen. It also adds additional restroom facilities to that area of the Zoo.

This winter, Blank Park Zoo will be hosting winter activities including a nine-hole mini-golf experience in the new event space. Enjoy indoor mini-golf, self-guided education activities, and a snack area during your visit with the animals. The mini-golf course will be set up to ensure social distancing of groups and is free with regular admission to Blank Park Zoo.

The event center is named in memory of Holmes Foster. Marjorie and Holmes Foster are long-time supporters of Blank Park Zoo.
