It all started as an innocent vacation to the beach, back in 1961…

Allen and Don Fasnacht, their wives Jean and Dee, and their parents Al and Sis visited the place that was to become Funland during a trip to the Delaware seashore in August of 1961.

At the time, the family was operating a small “picnic park” near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, called Willow Mill Park. Being the park people that they were, they visited the Rehoboth Beach Sports Center, as it was called when the Dentino family owned it. While they were talking about the ins and outs of the park business with Mr Dentino, he asked if they might be interested in buying the Sports Center. Yeah right, was the thought not spoken, but that was going through the Fasnachts’ minds. Mr. Dentino affirmed that he was indeed interested in selling the business and that the Fasnachts should think about buying it. 

The rest is history: expanding the park here and there, adding rides and games, and buying adjoining properties for the growing family and their children.  From the original 1st and 2nd generation, there are now over twenty 3rd and 4th generation family members who are directly involved with the business. They, along with over ten 5th generation members coming up closely behind them, are all continuing that heritage that began half a century ago!
