Wonderland Amusement Park (Minneapolis)
Wonderland was an amusement park that operated in the Longfellow neighborhood of Minneapolis from 1905 through 1911. The ten-acre site was located between Lake Street and 32nd Street and 31st and 33rd Avenues.〔''The neighborhood by the falls: a look back at life in Longfellow'' by Eric Hart, (Minneapolis: Longfellow Community Council, 2009), pp. 69–72.〕
==Attractions==
A 120-foot tower, lit by thousands of electric lights, was Wonderland's focal point and could be seen from a distance of five miles.〔''Lost Minnesota'' by Jack El-Hai, (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2000), pp. 62-63.〕 Among the other attractions were a scenic railway (roller coaster), old mill, carousel and house of nonsense. After the park's demise, some of its rides ended up at Excelsior Amusement Park on Lake Minnetonka.〔Karal Ann Marling, "Thrills and nostalgia: the amusement parks of Hennepin County" ''Hennepin History'' (Fall 1990). Vol. 49, No. 4, pp. 13–22.〕 The aerial swing, however, was purchased by Marion Savage for use at Antlers Park in Lakeville.〔''Picturing the past: events that shaped Dakota County in the twentieth century'' by David M. Schreier, (South St. Paul: Dakota County Historical Society, 2003).〕
One of the park’s most popular features was the "Infant Incubator Institute", whose owner, Dr. Martin A. Couney, had similar exhibits at amusement parks and expositions throughout the country and in Europe. The hospital, the only remaining structure from Wonderland, is now an apartment building at the intersection of 31st Avenue and 31st Street. 〔
