History

Upper Clements Park opened in 1989 to considerable controversy as it was built by the Government of Nova Scotia as part of a regional economic development scheme for southwestern Nova Scotia. In 1995 the Upper Clements Wildlife Park opened on an adjacent property. In 2007 the entire attraction was transferred to a local not-for-profit society. In 2010 the wildlife park closed and an aerial adventure park was scheduled to open on the property in 2011 to complement the amusement park.

The entire complex is adjacent to the Upper Clements Provincial Park.

In 2006, attendance topped 100,000. It closes seasonally, and is open for about 80 days yearly.
