The land for Crealy Theme Park & Resort was bought from
King's College, Cambridge in 1982. Its first visitors arrived in 1988 when it was operating as a farm, coming to see the cows being milked using its state-of-the-art dairy unit. It officially opened in 1989 as a working farm, Crealy the Great Farm Adventure, the same year its restaurant and Treetops playground were opened. In 1992, the name of the park changed to Crealy Country and more attractions were introduced, including
quad bikes and the bumper boat lake. Further rollercoasters were added in 2014 and 2015. Its 2015 addition, Twister Rollercoaster, a
spinning wild mouse, is the largest ride in the park. In 2011, following some refurbishments, Devon County Council granted owners Maximum Fun a licence to keep various exotic animals and operate Crealy as a zoo. The first animals to be exhibited were
Meerkats. In 2012, the park opened accommodation nearby at Crealy Meadows Caravan and Camping Park. Now known as Crealy Meadows, the site offers
camping and
caravan pitches, themed tents, and luxury lodges and
glamping. In August 2025, the park announced a new pirate-themed family thrill ride to open in Spring 2026. Later revealed to be called Pirate's Plummet, and is a relocated Magma from
Paultons Park, as verified from on-site construction photos. Later in September, a second ride was announced to be coming to the park the same year, also being a
Flat ride and having an inversion, making it the only inverting ride in Devon. Presently Crealy has over 60 rides, attractions and live shows. These include thrill rides, rollercoasters,
water rides, and indoor and outdoor play areas. The Animal Barn houses zoo and farm animals. ==Camel Creek Adventure Park==
