There is little more nostalgia than theme park games. Most of my early gaming memories consist of laying down epic pavements and then watching it make countless little people get their guts up.

So let’s head off the station and hit the tracks on our list of the best theme park games on Switch and mobile.
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3
This Nintendo Switch port of the last great RollerCoaster Tycoon game – sorry Atari – still stands up all these years later as potentially one of the best of the genre. With all the content for the base game plus the zoo and water park themed DLC packs, there are enough scenarios here to turn you into a regular Walt Disney when it comes to managing the theme park. It feels a little dated now, but that just adds to the nostalgia, and the Switch port does a surprisingly good job.
RollerCoaster Tycoon Touch
While the Atari RCT games aren’t as exciting as the original trilogy, fans of the series can still find a fun time in RollerCoaster Tycoon Touch. The highlight here is the coaster design, with touch controls that allow you to be expressive and innovative with your most engaging amusements right from the start. There are also regular seasonal updates that bring new content to the game and new ideas to your park so things never get old, even in the off-season.
The story of the Park of Dreams
The Kairsoft mogul has a go-to card for everything from game development to hot tub management, so it makes sense that they’d have something for our list of theme park games. Dream Park Story is a cool theme park management title with more depth than meets the eye, featuring so many customization options that you can always keep things fresh at the fair. It might not have as much in the scenery department as the other games on this list, but if you just want a really awesome park, this might be the one for you.

Theme park simulator
If it’s realism you’re looking for in theme park games, Theme Park Simulator’s graphics are convincing enough to make you feel like you’re spending the day at the actual fair. With countless rides and coasters inspired by real-life amusements, you can go into business and try to boost profits at your park, or just enjoy it by riding the bumper cars. It’s not quite as eye-catching a sim as some of the other entries on this list, but with all the fun of the fair in the palm of your hands, you can’t get any closer.
Parkasaurus
Not learning anything from the experiences of Dr. Alan Grant, Parkasaurus lets you create your own prehistoric park full of dinosaur friends. Fortunately, there’s no chance of dinos taking over here, so you can focus on creating the best park possible. Making a great park is a little easier thanks to the many customization options in Parkasaurus, but it’s up to you to keep the dinosaurs happy in their biomes while you hunt for other species in a time machine. Yes, I said a time machine. What amusement park is complete without one?
Unemployed theme park mogul
If you want to cut back on theme park management, Idle Theme Park takes all the stress out of it. Like other idle games, the idea here is about slow but steady growth as you return each day to upgrade your park a little more. Over time, you can watch your theme park expand from a few rides to a regular thrill-seeker’s paradise with countless rides and money to burn.
There you have it, our picks for the best theme park games on Switch and mobile. For more on the history of the genre, check out our feature on the lost legacy of RollerCoaster Tycoon.
