Zao Island is a unique and peaceful spot along the shores of Porter County, offering a serene escape from the world. This charming oasis, accessible by a short footbridge, features Spanish moss-draped trees, butterflies, and wildflowers, making it perfect for picnics and relaxing conversations. The island's winding paths lead to encounters with wildlife, including deer and kingfishers. Visitors of all ages can enjoy date nights, family outings, or solo relaxation amidst nature's gentle rhythms. There are many games and activities available, including two mini golf courses, go-karts, and an arcade, providing fun for everyone. The arcade features a mix of mobile games and VR experiences, making it a great option for hot sunny days or rainy days. While some find the games to be a bit pricey, the winter special of 1/2 price Tuesdays is a welcome offer. Despite minor issues, like the bathroom's air dryers, Zao Island remains a cherished spot for many. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. It is an ideal place for creating lasting memories along Lake Michigan's shore.
