We think Camille has some excellent taste!

Snow leopards, sloth bears, and penguins are definitely some fan favorites around here, and it's easy to see why.

As many people know and remember, Funland was once a beloved part of the Idaho Falls community. We're proud to honor that legacy by restoring as much of Funland as possible and creating new memories for generations to come.

While Funland has changed significantly over the years, some pieces have remained, like the train! 🚂

This photo was taken many years ago, capturing a piece of Funland's history. Stop by and see what the train looks like today, and take a ride through a tradition that continues to bring joy to our community.
