The History of Crealy Theme Park and Resort
Crealy Theme Park and Resort was initially a vision of Angela Wright and is currently owned by the Down family. The land which the park is located on was bought from Kings College Cambridge in 1982. The park opened to visitors in 1989 under the name Crealy the Great Farm Adventure, with the stated aim of recreating a country childhood. Visitors could experience life on a working farm. One of the main attractions at the time was seeing the cows being milked using, what was considered at the time, a state-of-the-art dairy unit. The Treetops playground and on-site restaurant were also opened during this year.
Undercover Attractions
In 1992 the name of the park was changed to Crealy Country and additional features were introduced, including bumper boats and quad bikes. The family took the decision to sell the cows in 1994 with a view to using the barns that they occupied for undercover attractions. Soon after, in 1995, the Adventure Zone was opened. 1997 welcomed the opening of the Magical Kingdom (now called Buddy Bear’s Kingdom), which was popular with children up to the age of 12.
The First Roller Coaster
In the year 2000, a Vekoma Junior Coaster called Maximus was added, the parks first roller coaster. The Littleland Attraction was also added in the same year. The addition of rides from the year 2000 onwards saw a significant increase in footfall, which led to investment into other areas of the site including toilets and catering facilities.
An Increase in Popularity
In 2012, the park opened accommodation nearby at Crealy Meadows Caravan and Camping Park. Now known as Crealy Meadows, the site offers a variety of accommodation. As the attraction grew in popularity, additional roller coasters were added. The 2015 addition, Twister Rollercoaster, a spinning wild mouse, is the largest ride in the park.
Present Day Attractions
Crealy Theme Park and Resort now has over 60 rides, attractions and live shows, included in these are thrill rides, roller coasters and splashing water rides, indoor play zones and outdoor adventure play areas. There is also the Animal Barn, which houses the zoo and farm animals.
