St Kitts finally get a proper amusement park — and this one not packing up after Carnival

Big news outta Lime Kiln: the country now has its first ever permanent amusement park. No more waiting for travelling fairs to roll in, no more rides disappearing after Sugar Mas. Apollo Amusement Paradise is here to stay.

For years, families in SKN only had the seasonal funfairs to look forward to. Now, locals calling this new park “long overdue” — a space where parents and kids can actually enjoy a full day out without hopping on a plane or waiting for December.

Community reaction? Pure delight, especially from people living near Lime Kiln. Business owners already buzzing about the extra foot traffic the park will bring. Officials say it’s not just about fun either — having spaces like this helps morale, keeps people energised, and gives young people more positive outlets.

The park is being billed as the first fully family-friendly entertainment zone in SKN, with rides and attractions to match what you’d see abroad. Early chatter suggests weekends about to look very different on the island.

👉 Run Di Chat take: Some people wait years for change and it shows up in the form of rollercoasters and cotton candy. Permanent fun? We’ll take it.
