Visiting 'Freedomland' Like Touring Old United States
ent's wagon pulled by horses
carries passengers through the
"shot-and-shell" of Civil War
battlefields, ending the jour
ney at Appomatox where an
animated figure of Gen. Rob
ert E. Lee on horseback has
come to surrender.
Less exciting but equally
thrilling is a visit to the Wax
Museum the same which
was a highlight of the Seattle
World's Fair last year. The
tableaux of "The Last Sup
per," depicting Christ and the
disciples, is a feature.
There also is a futuristic
Satellite City centered around
a gigantic space saucer, its
interior a studio where some
of New York's top disc
jockeys broadcast and inter
view visiting celebrities.
Outdoors, the Moon Bowl
dance area bandstand is the
stage for America's top enter
tainers and orchestras. The
shows are free.
There are soft-drink, ice
cream, hot dog and pizza
stands, restaurants and snack
bars. For families who prefer
to bring their own food, picnic
areas are available.
Freedomland is open daily
from 10 a.m. to midnight dur
ing the summer.
