Edaville Family Theme Park is an amusement park in Carver, Massachusetts, USA. It was to a Thomas & Friends themed area named Thomas Land, now named Alpine Village.

History

For the 2014 season, the park opened up the Dinoland themed area.[1]

Groundbreaking on the Thomas Area area began on August 14, 2014, with a planned opening date set for the summer of 2015.[2] Thomas Land opened after a year of construction on August 15, 2015.[3]

After a period of closure, the park reopened for the 2022 Christmas Season. For the 2023 season, it was announced that Thomas Land would not reopen, with the park's owner deeming the area and concept as having "not worked".[4] This followed a lawsuit that the park filed against Mattel for mis-promoting the area and focusing more attention on Kennywood's Thomas Town.[5] For Christmas 2023, the area was rebranded as Alpine Village.[6]

In March 2025, the railroad's new owners announced that a majority of the rides at the park would be auctioned at the end of April[7] with the deadline to remove them being May 15.[8]
