History

The Bonbon Land theme park dates back to Danish sweets boiler, Michael Spangsberg. He began producing candies with names that children would find humorous, such as 'mågeklatter' (Seagull Droppings) 'hundeprutter' (Dog Farts) and 'tissebleer' (Pee Diapers). As the candies became popular, consumers began wanting to tour the factory in Holme-Olstrup. However, the factory could not offer tours due to strict hygiene regulations, leading Michael Spangsberg to opening Bonbon-Land. In 1992, the park opened with a mini candy factory, a cinema, a shop, and four small boats shaped like ducks located in a small pond. Bonbon Land’s park covered an area of 85.000 m² (21 acres), increasing to 110.000 m² (27 acres) after the Beaver Rafting course was finished in 1998. The park was expanded to its current size of 130.000 m² (32 acres) when the ’Vildsvinet’ ride was added in 2003. BonBon Land was purchased by the Spanish entertainment company
