Land of Make Believe, Water amusement park in Hope Township, New Jersey.
Land of Make Believe is an amusement park combining water attractions with traditional rides across roughly 30 acres at the base of Jenny Jump Mountain. The grounds feature a mix of classic mechanical rides and water attractions with separate areas designed for different age groups.
The park was founded in 1954 and started as a small farm-based attraction with simple entertainment. Over the following decades, it gradually grew into a full-fledged amusement park with modern water slides and mechanical rides.
The park has long served as a gathering place for families seeking outdoor fun and simple entertainment together. Different sections are arranged so that visitors of all ages and abilities can find something suited to their interests.
The park operates from May through September and includes access to all water and dry attractions with one admission ticket. Parking is included in the admission price, making it straightforward to plan your visit.
The Scream Machine 360 is the first ride of its kind in northern New Jersey and takes visitors through complete inversions while combining swing and spin motions. This particular combination makes it a rare experience in the region.
