World’s first eco theme park, Environmentaland, debuts in Los Angeles

Hyped as the world’s first interactive environmental hybrid theme park and museum, Environmentaland is situated in Los Angeles at the Hollywood & Highland complex.

Hyped as the world’s first interactive environmental hybrid theme park and museum, Environmentaland is a project of Global Inheritance and FUEL TV. Situated in Los Angeles at the Hollywood & Highland complex, the theme park will be open daily through October 21 to play host to special events and feature various exhibits.

Environmentaland has already been featured on CNN International’s “Eco-Solutions” and E! Entertainment’s “That Morning Show”.

“FUEL TV is excited to be supporting Environmentaland,” said CJ Olivares, FUEL TV General Manager. “FUEL TV has worked with Eric Ritz and Global Inheritance on several different projects in the past and ENVIRONMENTALAND is one of the most exciting yet. It engages and educates the audience in a way that maximizes the impact of the environmental lessons it teaches. We’re excited to have people check out the project and learn something from it.”

“Playing” the part

Upon arriving at Environmentaland, visitors receive a program with a scorecard. While strolling through the many museum exhibits, visitors collect points on their cards that are then redeemed for cool items from the likes of FUEL TV, CamelBak, Loomstate, Interscope Records, Paramount, Goldenvoice, Focus Features and more.

Starting this weekend, individuals with the highest score for the day will win a 3-day festival pass to one of the major music festivals in the U.S. (Coachella, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, etc).

Inside the park, visitors can play desert mini golf, participate in a recycled paper plane toss, test their taste buds in an organic challenge, tour the eco-planetarium, generate power in the energy playground featuring the energy seesaw and more.

Environmentaland will be highlighted by the Public Displays of Affection(PDA) Concert Series, promoting public and group transportation by offering entrance by presenting a metro or bus ticket as proof the attendee used public transportation to arrive to the event. Previous PDA performers include Ladytron and The Secret Machines. Look for details on the next event to take place this October.
