Animaland Park is a defunct sculpture garden and amusement park in New Brunswick on Route 114 in Penobsquis, New Brunswick.[1][2] It was created by nature artist and sculptor Winston Atwood Bronnum.[3][4] The park featured life-size concrete animal sculptures including fighting moose and a duck slide, as well as a giant lobster playground structure.[5] Although it is now closed, "Blowhard the Horse" remains at the entrance.[6]
In 2018, the land that the park sits was opened as a campground.[7] The statues remain as a feature of the new campground.
