Crealy Great Adventure Parks is the name of two theme parks in the southwest of England. Devon's Crealy is based at Clyst St. Mary on the outskirts of Exeter and Cornwall's Crealy is based at Tredinnick in between Wadebridge and Newquay.

Crealy was created by Angela Wright MBE in 1989, with the aim to build a park that was a recreation of a country childhood. Crealy allowes guests to come and play in the Adventure Playgrounds, hold and feed the animals, ride the ponies and learn about farming. Consequently Crealy was born, and later expanded into Cornwall.

Buddy Bear is the mascot of Crealy, and in 2011 was the star of his own show at Devon's Crealy, seen by thousands in the summer season. Buddy is frequently accompanied by Blossom Bear on his adventures, and in 2012, Crealy will be expanding on both characters.

Although initially purchased as a farm from Cambridge University, Crealy has grown to include rides, on-park dining options, on-site camping, park entertainment, and special events, such as the Peter Andre concert in summer 2011^[1]. All catering outlets were rebranded at the start of the 2011 summer season.

Crealy frequently expands and installs new attractions, such as the Show Dome, The Vortext Water Slide, and the Pirates Cove Play Area.

Terry Sandling bought Trelow Farm in Tredinnick. Due to a personal interest in shire horses he opened the farm to the public in 1989 as The Shire Horse Centre. The theme park is steadily growing even though it was sold to Crealy Great Adventure Parks in 2004. Crealy have continued to invest in the park in terms of rides, shows and the staff. The park attracts in the region of 200 000 people a year.

Swampy and Dina are their resident characters, and can be found on park frequently.
