Animaland Park

Last updated

Animaland Park is a defunct sculpture garden and amusement park in New Brunswick on Route 114 in Penobsquis, New Brunswick. [1] [2] It was created by nature artist and sculptor Winston Atwood Bronnum. [3] [4] The park featured life-size concrete animal sculptures including fighting moose and a duck slide, as well as a giant lobster playground structure. [5] Although it is now closed, "Blowhard the Horse" remains at the entrance. [6]

In 2018, the land that the park sits was opened as a campground. [7] The statues remain as a feature of the new campground.
