Land of Make Believe Gets Set for Memorial Day Weekend

originally published: 05/15/2025

(HOPE TWP, NJ) -- Summer Fun gets an early start at Land of Make Believe in Hope, recognized as the 'Worlds Greatest' Amusement Park," on Memorial Day Weekend, May 24-26, 2025.

NJ’s #1 Funcation offers families an affordable day of unlimited rides for one price, free parking, free picnicking, and non-stop memories, an amazing opportunity for families keeping an eye on their pocketbooks and seek options closer to home this year.

The family-owned Land of Make in beautiful Northwest Jersey continues to thrive having expanded its park to include numerous thrill rides, attractions, Safari, and an expansive water park with the world's largest wading pool, water slides and a river tubing ride. There are rides and attractions for children, teens, parents - something for everyone in the family.

Within the past year, Land of Make Believe has hit a trifecta of attention. The park, which has been honored by federal and state legislators, county and local officials, and industry organizations, has now been recognized with three huge designations that have given Land of Make Believe attention across the United States - and the world.

The trifecta started with Land of Make Believe being named the Most Iconic Amusement Park in the New Jersey, then was declared the No. 1 Amusement Park in New Jersey, and most recently was declared the World's Greatest.

"We are super proud of these designations," said Christopher Maier, whose family has owned the park since its inception. "My mother and father had a vision of providing wholesome fun for the entire family that has stood the test of time. It's always been the intention to offer a safe and an afordable experience for those who come here."

In today's economy, there is no better deal than a day at Land of Make Believe.

Land of Make Believe is open weekends and then daily starting on Father's Day weekend. For ticket information and generally more about Land of Make Believe visit www.lomb.com or its Facebook page.
