Edwardsville, Ill. – In a recent award ceremony held at the Amusement Expo in Las Vegas, NV, Edison’s Entertainment Complex was recognized by Tourist Attractions & Parks Magazine and Foundations Entertainment University as the “Best New Family Entertainment Facility (FEC) in North American for 2013”. Edison’s triumphed over four other finalists located in Canada, New Jersey, and Florida. The award is intended to recognize excellence in service, the variety of attractions offered, and the overall presentation of the facility with consideration for design and layout.
Submissions for the award were received from dozens of facilities that opened in 2012 in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Nominees were judged based on photos of their facility, an essay, and promotional materials, such as social media links, TV commercials, and brochures. Industry experts chose the top 5 finalists, and the winners were ultimately determined by online votes cast by customers, staff, vendors, and other FEC owners/operators.
