Evermore Park was a fantasy adventure theme park in Pleasant Grove, Utah that opened on September 29, 2018, under the direction of Ken Bretschneider.[1] The park allowed guests who visited to interact with trained actors who portrayed fantasy characters.[1][3] The only traditional ride was "The Evermore Express", a small train that travelled around the park.[4][5] Evermore had been compared by critics to the fictional Westworld, renaissance fairs, and Choose Your Own Adventure books.[6][7]
On April 8, 2024, the property's landlord declared the park closed.[2][8] On August 5, 2024, Travis and Michelle Fox took over the property.[9] On September 20, 2024, the new tenants revealed that the park would be renamed to The Realm Town.[10][11] In January 2025, it was revealed the sale of the property between Evermore and The Realm Town operator Realm ATV had been canceled, and lawsuits were filed shortly afterwards between the two parties.[12]
