It offers its guests, amongst others, several roller coasters and rides, zip lines, a water park and miniature golf. “Indiana Beach is a fabulous addition for us. We are pleased to work with the park team and local community to grow this jewel of a resort in mid-state Indiana. We look forward to building upon the 90-year heritage of this park and providing families with a life time of great memories,” Apex Parks Group CEO, Al Weber, Jr. explains. (eap)
