  • Nurturing Dreams & Potential

    Northwest Arena plays host to a wide array of activities, programs, and events. We are proud to offer our community and visiting guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in rich, inclusive recreation. Throughout the years, our facility has helped produce some highly successful members of society. We look forward to the continuation of that success as we discover innovative ways to serve local and visiting families.

Growing a Destination for All Families

CULTIVATING A THRIVING COMMUNITY

Located in proximity to the Jamestown Riverwalk, TheZone will be centralized and accessible to local families, eager for great experiences for their kids and families visiting the Northwest Arena. An analysis by AECOM projects that TheZone will draw 45,000 visitors per year once well-established. Nationwide, children’s museums add $5.5 billion to the economy annually—in part, because each dollar in museum spending ripples out to create $3.66 in economic activity.

HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP:

Now in the final stage of an $8.5 million capital project, the Campaign for TheZone seeks a final $1.5 million investment for the installation of TheZone’s fixtures and exhibits with a goal of opening in late 2023. Consider donating a monetary gift and be a part of TheZone’s Starting Lineup. Additionally, named gift opportunities exist within TheZone, ranging in value from $5,000 – $100,000.
