Western Playland Map and Brochure (2025 – 2016)
Location: Sunland Park, New Mexico
Years Active: 1960 – Active
Western Playland ain’t Disney World, and that’s exactly why locals love it. This New Mexico gem has been serving up scrappy, old-fashioned fun since 1960. It’s got that classic boardwalk grit mixed with a dose of Southwest kitsch. Think rattly roller coasters, cheesy Western decor, and tons of fried food goodness.
The “Turbine” coaster is a must for serious thrill-seekers, while the bumper cars are a classic crowd-pleaser. Want to slow things down? Take a spin on the vintage train or the rickety old carousel. This place isn’t afraid of a few squeaky wheels and some chipped paint. That’s part of its charm.
Western Playland gets HOT in the summer. Go in the late afternoon for smaller crowds and a bearable temp. Also, keep an eye out for crazy deals and events. They do fireworks, concerts, and all sorts of random fun stuff to spice things up.
