On Thursday, Aug. 13, the business posted on Facebook the decision to not renew their property lease at 3311 Capital Blvd., resulting in the park’s closure.
Adventure Landings’ entertainment options, including miniature golf, laser tag, go-karts, batting cages and arcade, made the business appeal to all ages for families, birthday parties and events. Customers with any tickets, vouchers, gift cards or tokens are advised to use them before the Sunday closing.
“It has truly been a privilege to bring fun, laughter, and lifelong memories to so many families throughout the years,” Hank Woodburn, owner of Adventure Landing, said in the Thursday post on the business’ Facebook page. “From birthday parties and family outings to our annual Easter egg hunts on the mini golf course and countless community events, we’ve cherished every opportunity to give back and be part of so many special moments.”
People took to the comments to express sorrow over the decades-old business closing. “You have been a staple in Raleigh!,” a commenter said. “We are going to truly miss Adventure Landing Raleigh in the community!!! So many fun memories had with our kiddos over the years!”

In March, the business made a Facebook post addressing rumors that the park would close at the end of the month. At the time, Adventure Landing announced that the statements were false and that the business had “no current plans to close its doors.”
Last year, another Adventure Landing location in Jacksonville Beach, Florida closed after 30 years. “Watching generations of families create joy together—from parents who visited as children now bringing their own kids—has been an extraordinary blessing from God,” Woodburn said in a press release.
The business still has North locations in Gastonia and Winston-Salem, along with Dallas, Texas and Buffalo, New York.
The News & Observer reached out to Adventure Landing but did not receive a response by the time of publication.
