Leave your farewell message to KiddieLand

From the lens Kiddieland - Melrose Park, IL.

Lots of people are greatly saddened to see a part of Chicago history like Kiddieland closing down. Leave a note and let everyone know why it was special to you.

    Thanks for the blessing! This was a special park for us with some very good memories. I've even gotten emails from people wondering if there is going to be a photo book published with images from Kiddieland. A lot of people were sad to see it go.

    A great lens. I never visited Kiddieland, but I have memories of similar parks in Pennsylvaniia and was proud to take my kids there to relive my memories. I hope those parks will last till I can bring the grandkids. Great lens.

    Hello :)

    That seemed to be a wonderful amusement park but it's sad to hear that you now have to say good bye to it especially if you spent a lot of happy times there and with a lot of wonderful memories to look back too...

    I think this is an awesome lens! 5*

    Excellent! And just what we need, another ginormous shopping centre so the kids learn to shop. Blessed by a Squid Angel today. (squidoo.com/september-blessings )

    I didn't know it existed until a few years ago, but my wife and I took all five of our grandchildren there several times. I sympathize with the folks who have been going there for decades. It was affordable and the employees were well trained. I will never forget going down the pipe with each grandkid when they were toddlers, and then waiting in line with them, chatting with other kids, pretending to scare each other ... and then they were older and wanted to go on their own :) The car ride was very charming. Thanks for the memories Kiddlieland!
