Preferred term

theme parks  

Definition

  • While not technically amusement parks, theme parks bear enough of a generic resemblance to note that since the first amusement park in the United States, the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago, theme parks of various kinds have become a staple of U.S. community life and indeed community life all over the world.
