Amusement Park "Avārijas Brigāde", also known as ABpark, is a project created by Latvian Amusement Agency Ltd., with the goal of becoming the most popular amusement park in Latvia. In an era when people spend less and less time together, ABpark’s mission is to provide a safe and welcoming environment where families can enjoy meaningful moments side by side. A place where children can play and have fun, and adults can relax and enjoy a comfortable stay as well. Our vision is to promote quality family time through joyful and engaging entertainment. We strive to achieve this by staying true to our values:
- Fun and Entertainment
Fun and joy are always guaranteed at ABpark, because we believe that both kids and their parents deserve memorable, shared experiences.
- Comfort
We know that good leisure should be comfortable and simple - free of extra worries and far from feeling like work.
- Safety
We understand that safety is especially important for parents during family outings, which is why we pay extra attention to it and strictly monitor all safety aspects.
The idea for the park was developed in 2015, when one of its co-founders, Mārtiņš Brezauckis, identified the need for a place in Latvia where families could spend quality time together - a space that would be equally enjoyable for both children and adults.
Before establishing the park, an in-depth study of the entertainment industry was carried out. It included analysis of what types of family entertainment were still lacking in Latvia, as well as visits to the most popular amusement parks in Latvia and across Europe. Partnerships were formed with key tourism organizations, such as the tourism association "Vidzeme", the association “Lauku ceļotājs,” and the international organization IAAPA.
In 2016, active development of the amusement park began - the project was designed, funding was secured, attractions were built, and land improvements were made in preparation for opening the park’s doors to its first visitors on May 22, 2017.
In 2021, the park area was significantly expanded, delighting visitors with a major addition to the attraction offering - a water attraction zone.
Today, ABpark is the largest amusement park in the Baltics, pleasing visitors every season with new attractions. On average, the park welcomes around 90 000 visitors per season, including many who return season after season to once again enjoy a day full of fun and excitement. Spanning 28 hectares, the park offers more than 40 different activities from high energy entertainment to more peaceful outdoor relaxation.
ABpark is designed for both children and adults, providing a wide variety of experiences for all generations. Thrill seekers are invited to ride the roller coasters, speed down the tube sliding attraction, cool off in water attractions, play team based laser tag, or enjoy virtual reality adventures. For a more relaxed visit, guests can enjoy water catamarans, mini-golf, walking trails, promenade, and many other peaceful activities.
One of the most anticipated events of the season is “The Most Amazing Summer Day”. In addition to the park’s regular attractions, this special day is filled with extra activities that bring even more joy and positive emotions. The highlight of the day is a live performance by specially invited guest artists turning the this day into a true open air celebration party!
As on any regular day, the ticket for “The Most Amazing Summer Day” grants access to all attractions and activities taking place, with no additional charge.
Since the very beginning of the park’s operations, Latvian Amusement Agency Ltd. has been a member of IAAPA - the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions. Membership in IAAPA enables the company to stay up to date with global industry trends, plan operations in line with the latest safety and quality standards, and expand international connections.
In 2022, Latvian Amusement Agency Ltd. in connection with ABpark were included in “Vidzeme Stories”, a collection of inspiring local business examples that highlight creative, innovative, and socially significant companies in the region.
Each season, the company provides more than 120 job opportunities, including positions for students and schoolchildren from the age of 17 - offering young people valuable and enjoyable first work experience.
