Castle Fun Park
Castle Fun Park is an amusement park located in Abbotsford, British Columbia, by the Trans-Canada Highway.[1] The park is built like a castle resembling medieval architecture and includes many attractions and arcade games. The park is currently run by the Wiebe family. HistoryIn 1988, Hank and Doreen Wiebe started construction for an amusement park on their recently purchased land in Abbotsford, and in July 1989 they opened it with the name "Wonderland Amusement Park".[2] The park's buildings resembled medieval architecture. In 1998, they had to change the park's name into "Castle Fun Park" due to a name infringement of another amusement park in Ontario. Today, the park is operated still by the Wiebe family and have since added many new attractions and rides.[3] 2021 FloodingOn November 15, 2021, the entire park was flooded and was closed shortly after.[4] Despite the flood, the park's social media stayed "optimistic," posting on their Facebook on November 18, four days after the initial flooding, saying "...[we'll] keep coming back to faith, optimism, and even moments of laughter."[5][6] In the same post, they stated that they were aiming for a reopening in early spring. On January 26, they posted a video on their Instagram showing the ruined state the park was in while still showing signs for the proposed reopening in early spring.[5][7][4] On Canada Day 2022, the park was officially reopened.[8] Attractions
