Today, various media outlets confirmed that the iconic Selva Mágica amusement park will permanently close its doors after 38 years.
Located next to the Guadalajara Zoo in Huentitán El Bajo, the park became one of the most iconic places for family fun and is part of the memories of several generations of Guadalajara residents.
Since its opening on April 22, 1988, Selva Mágica has been the setting for school field trips, birthday parties, first roller coaster rides, and family afternoons—all of which are now part of Guadalajara’s collective memory.
