Modern visitor attractions can trace their history back to Victorian-era pleasure gardens. Built on royal hunting grounds and vast parklands, these theaters of music, gastronomy, and attractions were created for public enjoyment, with spaces hosting the fantastical and extraordinary.

They tapped into an innate, social desire for leisure, wonder, and adventure. This instinct lives on in the myriad theme parks, botanic gardens, shows, resorts, entertainment centers, and interactive museums today.

The Park Database is the world’s foremost repository of attractions spanning the globe. 

Our goal is to catalogue, preserve, and share the ever-evolving story of places crafted for enjoyment. Our hope is to provide actionable and accessible data, insights, and knowledge for all.
