Though the park is no longer in business, people still travel to it to take pictures of the decaying attractions and statues. Here, an aerial look on the park. Note the tied down giant and the conspicuous absence of customers.

Sanrio Park Harmonyland, Oita, Japan

Harmonly Land, the theme park, sponsored by Sanrio is a best place for very small children who like Hello Kitty. The Hello-Kitty-themed park features feline shapes with Hello Kitty variant such as Hello Kitty spinning teacups and Hello Kitty Ferris wheel. Not only children like this place, but adults do as well because they have chances to enjoy parades and stage shows besides seeing Hello Kitty figures.

Dickens World, Kent

Take a step back in time to Victorian England to see what life might have been like for Charles Dickens and the characters he created.

A great way to introduce your children to the classic tale of Oliver Twist...
