February 20, 2021 - 7:30 AM What may be the only surviving piece of a popular Okanagan fairy tale theme park in the 1970s will be transformed into a fruit and nut stand. Adventureland was likely the Okanagan’s first theme park. Owners Samuel and Dorothy Pestes opened the park in 1966 along Highway 97 (now Pelmewash Parkway). The adventure park had a time machine, Old Mother Hubbard s shoe that doubled as a ticket booth and gift shop, a petting zoo, rides, a mini-golf course and more. Then it was sold to the owners of Flintstones Bedrock City, another former park in Kelowna, in 1982. It went bankrupt during the recession.
