History
Construction of Shenyang Fantawild began in 2009 as a strategic move by Huaqiang Fantawild Group to expand into the Northeast market. The main construction was completed in 2010, and the park entered trial operation in May 2011, officially opening to the public in September of the same year. Initially, the park operated under the "Fantawild" brand, focusing on science fiction and animation themes. In 2013, the "Dinosaur Crisis" attraction was added, introducing 4D interactive technology. In 2015, Shenyang Fantawild was rated as a national AAAA-level tourist attraction. In 2018, the park underwent a major upgrade, adding the "Fly Over Limits" dome cinema and the "Light of Life" stereoscopic cinema. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the park temporarily closed and then resumed operations with an online reservation system. In 2022, the park introduced a "Boonie Bears" themed area, further enriching family-friendly content.
