The Daughter and I recently went to the Pink Palace Museum to go through the Enchanted Forest. When I was a child back in the 1960s, this was located in the Goldsmith's department store downtown. A winter wonderland with animatronic woodland creatures and penguins and elves that was a must-see for kids every year.
Eventually, Goldsmith's closed their downtown store, and the exhibit took a hiatus and then was moved out to the Agricenter. It's been at the Pink Palace for over a decade.
Here's a video walk-through from 2010:
It brings back delightful childhood memories to see it again.

Fun! It is just great that the exhibit was kept and now displayed and open to see again.

Yes, isn't it! I'm so glad it wasn't scrapped. :)
DeleteFirefox wouldn't allow me to play the video. I may have to add a plug in. Not sure what else could go wrong with my computer these days.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to read the exhibits have now found a permanent home. Seems old department stores have gone the way of the 50s Diners and Drive-in Movie Theaters. Glad this was salvaged. I'll be back when I get Firefox figured out.
I'll add a link to the video on the Youtube site. Maybe that would work better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG8wiDMhzSA
