Theme Parks

Traditionally, a theme park is a place to go to. Guests (customers) of a theme park attend in order to experience some element of recreation in a setting which is oriented around a motif or theme.

Themes range from simple (amusement or childs play) to elaborate (greek myth). Some offer accommodations within the park, others are open days only. Many parks are seasonal. Some are really only fun in the evening when the lights come on.
