As Long Island became more populated and developed, family entertainment was desired and many "kiddielands" were popping up throughout. After Alvin Cohen and Herb Budin visited a trade show in Chicago, they acquired a site on Route 110 in Farmingdale, New York. They constructed a building which housed a restaurant and arcade, so the park could be open year-round. Along with the building, four rides opened outside: a carousel, Iron Horse train, Little Dipper coaster and boats. There was also a mini golf course. In 1962, the 1 million dollar park opened under the name of "Adventureland 110 Playland". As the park's success grew, the name was changed to "110 Adventureland". In 1965 the first major ride opened, a long Skyliner.
