Halmstad Adventure Park

Halmstad Adventure Park, Theme park in Halmstad, Sweden.

Halmstad Adventure Park occupied a 34,600-square-metre site at a former quarry in Knebildstorp, Söndrum, western Halmstad. It opened on 18 June 1966 as Miniland, a miniature park with models of Swedish castles, manors and churches, plus a fairy-tale area. Later additions included a water park, carousels and life-size dinosaur models; the miniature buildings were reduced and cleared out.

The park opened on 18 June 1966 as Miniland, built on the site of the old Knebildstorp quarry, after Dutchman Johannes Rademaekers proposed a miniature park inspired by Madurodam. Model builder Kurt Lennå led the workshop that produced models of Swedish castles, manors and churches. The Rademaekers family sold it in 1996/1997; after a 2004 change of owner to Axels Nöjesfält it was renamed Halmstad Äventyrsland and gained a water park, rides and life-size dinosaur models.

The name Miniland lived on in newspapers, letters and the bus stop long after the 2004 rename. A sign at one miniature scene describing "lappar" drew a complaint to Hallandsposten and was removed after a reply. The park's own postmark dated from its 1966 opening.

The site is closed: the park shut in summer 2023 and demolition began on 11 August 2024 after a fire on 28 April 2024 destroyed the Wild West Steakhouse restaurant. The land at the old Knebildstorp quarry is to hold 450–500 homes, from terraced houses to rental flats, with the detailed plan due by the end of 2025. The lease with Halmstad municipality runs out in 2026.

The combination of water slides and traditional rides sets this park apart from many other amusement facilities. This mix makes it particularly appealing for families seeking different types of activities in one location.
