Land of Make Believe, which was named one of the most iconic amusement parks in America (and the only one in New Jersey) alongside Disney World in Florida, Kings Dominion in Virgina, Knotts Berry Farm in California and many other "big name" parks around the country, has been recognized by numerous organizations for its outstanding safety record.

Land of Make Believe prides itself on being clean, safe and affordable. It is unique to other amusement parks in that it offers free parking and allows for families to bring in their own food.
