Fun Spot Amusement Park & Zoo is a family amusement park located in Angola, Indiana, USA. Although it is small in comparison to parks in neighboring states, such as Cedar Point and Michigan's Adventure, it remains one of the largest parks in the region. It also boasts the only operating roller coaster (Afterburner) with an inversion in the state of Indiana. It is also historic, having opened in 1956.

Its rides and coasters are unremarkable outside the state of Indiana, although the name of its other major coaster, Zyklon (German for "Cyclone"), has proven controversial at other amusement parks due to the name's association with a type of poison used in Nazi war crimes (for a discussion see: Zyklon B).

Fun Spot's Zoo consists mostly of a collection of big cats, including White Bengal Tigers.
