On behalf of the entire Edaville family, we welcome you to a new and exciting chapter in Edaville’s history.

We now offer general admission to make the park more accessible to all and more affordable for families.

You’ll be able to ride behind a steam-powered locomotive, have fun on amusement rides, and enjoy food and drink throughout the park.

We offer some of the old favorites plus all new shops, including a European-style Christmas Market. To get off and running, we have had to pull things together quickly – this is just a glimpse of our vision of an Edaville steeped in tradition and family fun.
