First Eco Theme Park Opens in Hollywood

We’ve covered amusement parks going green before, but one park is making sustainability the main headline. Global Inheritance just opened Environmentaland, the country’s first eco theme park on one of Hollywood’s most popular corners.

Located at Hollywood and Highland, Global Inheritance aims to start the gears of sustainability in all its visitors.

“Environmentaland represents the power of imagination combined with common sense and a desire for change,” the Web site states. “People have lost their sense of discovery, and Environmentaland is determined to put it back by inspiring individuals to reexamine the basics and get excited about the opportunities that lay ahead.”

Environmentaland offers attractions such as the Energy Playground, Recycled Paper Plane Takeoff, Mini-Bin Exhibit and Designing Station, Alternative Energy Golf Carts, The Planetarium and Desert Mini Golf, among other activities.

Programs are targeted for “kids, adults, students, artists, professionals, tourists, teachers and even your pet.” The park also hosts movie nights every Wednesday and art shows featuring artists from Los Angeles and Orange County.

Global Inheritance is a green activist group, focusing “on the power of creativity to communicate and push for progressive social change while rejecting conflict.”

    Hi Amanda,

    I think this is a fantastic initiative. An excellent way to engage our society in a fun interactive manner whilst providing the public with the tools, information and awareness that is required to implement positive change. I also like the creative thinking that’s been put into the Global Inheritance moto -focusing “on the power of creativity to communicate and push for progressive social change while rejecting conflict.”
