After 50 Years, Adventureland Inn Announces Closure

For families that made Adventureland Theme Park a part of their summer, it was the end of an era on Wednesday.

WHO reports that on Wednesday afternoon, Adventureland announced that the Adventureland Inn would be closing its doors for good. The closure comes after the hotel announced that it would be closed for the off-season beginning in November of 2024.

WHO reports that the Adventureland Inn opened in 1973, one year before the theme park opened its doors. The hotel has gone through many changes through the years, including a million dollar renovation in 2002 that doubled the size of the hotel and added new pools and water features.

Adventureland issued a statement outlining the future for the hotel.

With our continued focus on guest experience, we have made the decision to close the Adventureland Inn and convert the property into on-site employee housing as we grow our workforce

WHO reports that the close of Adventureland Inn will not affect Spectators Sports Bar and Grill, which remains open seven days a week. Adventureland Campground also remains open and is taking reservations for the upcoming season.

A number of other hotels remain open in and around the theme park.
