Funtasia is a one-of-a-kind fun park located on Hwy 93/95 at the North end of Fairmont and is ideal for an outing with family, friends, or even a date! Our 18-hole mini golf course (built into a live forest) features natural challenges for the experienced golfer, and is fun for new players at the same time. The cute miniature animals are eagerly awaiting your visit and often evoke a sense of playfulness and connection with nature. The vibrant colours and fragrances of our lush garden setting stimulate the senses and relax the mind at the same time. For ultimate fun seekers, the ride on bumper cars creates long-lasting memories, laughter and fun. The park is cared for without pesticides or herbicides. Our garden offers produce used in our ultimate health smoothies. Come, play, unplug and connect!
