Crealy Great Adventure Parks is the name of two theme parks in the southwest of England. Devon's Crealy is based at Clyst St. Mary on the outskirts of Exeter and Cornwall's Crealy is based at Tredinnick in between Wadebridge and Newquay.
Crealy was created in 1989, with the aim to build a park that was a recreation of a country childhood. Consequently Crealy was born, and later expanded into Cornwall.
Devon's Crealy
Although initially purchased as a farm from Cambridge University Crealy now has over 60 rides, attractions and live shows, included in these are thrill rides, roller-coasters and splashing water rides, indoor play zones and outdoor adventure play areas. There is also the Animal Barn which houses zoo and farm animals.
Winner of ‘Family attraction of the year’ for the 3 years in a row.
In Spring 2012, Crealy Meadows Caravan and Camping park was launched adjacent to Devon's Crealy. While a separate entity from the Adventure Park, Crealy Meadows shares similar corporate branding, including cross promotion with Buddy and Blossom bear.
Crealy frequently expands and installs new attractions.

Cornwall's Crealy
Terry Sandling bought Trelow Farm in Tredinnick. Due to a personal interest in shire horses he opened the farm to the public in 1989 as The Shire Horse Centre. The theme park is steadily growing even though it was sold to Crealy Great Adventure Parks in 2004. Crealy have continued to invest in the park in terms of rides, shows and the staff. The park attracts in the region of 200,000 people a year.
Major rides include Morgawr, The Beast, Raging River and Thunder Falls. Crealy is more aimed for younger kids aged 0-6 years old but it's sometimes fun for everyone.
Swampy and Dina are their resident characters, and can be found on park frequently.
