Returning to tradition, Rehoboth Beach’s Funland opened back up on Mother’s Day weekend this year. Last year, because of COVID-19, the family-owned and -operated amusement park on the Boardwalk didn’t open until after July 4.

Masks were still required opening weekend, but it was obvious that smiling faces – for the children, anyway – were under those masks. For the time being, Funland is operating like it did last year – reservations are required and offered in 2-hour blocks throughout the day. Games are accessible to those without reservations.

For more information or to make a reservation for Funland, 6 Delaware Ave., go to funlandrehoboth.com or call 302-227-1921.
