How to say "It was fun to have been able to go there" in Japanese?
そこに行くことができて楽しかった is correct. the 楽しかった at the end makes the whole sentence
past tense. you could also say そこに行けて楽しかった to make it a bit more casual.

Rather than 楽しかった Japanese people tend to use よかった to show they were happy to
have been able to go there/do something. so then it would become そこに行けてよかった.
