Adventure City

Adventure City is a theme park located in Anaheim, California near the city of Stanton. The park's slogan is "The Little Theme Park that's BIG on Family Fun". Occupying an area of over 2 acres (0.81 ha), Adventure City is one of the smallest theme parks in California, and receives an average attendance of between 200,000 and 400,000 per year. The Coca-Cola Company is the park's only major sponsor.

History

The park opened in 1994 at a cost of $4 Million, as an expansion of Hobby City, a nearby 6-acre (2.4 ha) collection of novelty shops and museums. The park was initially marketed to families with children, as an affordable alternative to other Southern California area theme parks such as Disneyland, also in Anaheim, and Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park. Hobby City's original miniature railroad attraction, which opened in 1938 (25 years before the park opened), was extended and incorporated into the new park. A classic 1946 Carousel was also part of the parks opening day attractions roster.
