Fun Forest sits at the base of the Seatle Space needle and was originaly the midway of the 1962 World's Fair which ran from 4/21/1962 to 10/21/1962. At the time of the fair the park was called "Gayway".
Fun Forest will likely close after the 2009 season. The park's lease was to be up in 2014, but in a deal with the city, the lease would be shortened in exchange for reduced rent.
