What is it about a carousel, the smell of cotton candy, or the twinkling lights on an Eli wheel at dusk that send us down a path of wistful reminiscences?
Whether you have personal memories of Idaho Falls’ Funland or sweet recollections from another treasured theme park, it’s easy to conjure up thoughts of happy experiences at a place that brings community together. Funland has been a gem in Idaho Falls since 1947; a place where countless people have smiled together, laughed together and have had a moment of fun. Now it’s time to preserve this piece of history, this vibrant, fun connecting piece in the fabric of our community. Whether you have memories of Funland or you’re looking to make them, this is a treasure worth saving.
We need your help!
