The Haunting Story of Boblo Island: Detroit's Lost Amusement Park Paradise
For 95 years, Boblo Island stood as one of America's most beloved amusement parks, accessible only by magnificent steamship across the Detroit River. This is the complete story of how a century-old entertainment landmark that welcomed millions of visitors simply vanished, leaving behind only memories and ruins.
Discover the rise and tragic fall of this historic Michigan attraction that operated from 1898 to 1993. Journey back to an era when the SS Columbia and SS Ste. Claire steamboats carried families to a magical island getaway, where hand-carved carousel horses spun, roller coasters thrilled generations, and the grand dance hall hosted thousands under its roof.
This documentary narrative explores why Boblo Island Amusement Park couldn't survive in modern America, despite being added to the National Register of Historic Places. Learn about the abandoned rides now scattered across the country, the historic steamships left to decay, and the failed luxury development that replaced this democratic paradise.
