You mean she didn't just flat-out push you?????

Thanks for the memories. I grew up in south Baltimore. We were poor, but could at least afford the 50 cent admission and gas to "The Enchanted Forest." At 47 I'm getting my boyfriend to bring me to Clarks farm asap. PS Little Toot and the Tea Cup Ride were my favorites. Thanks again.

BEAVIS~
Hope you have a great time at the birthday celebration! : )

GREAT PICKS!! I REMEMBER GOING THRU THIS GATE AS A CHILD AND BEING LOCKED OUT TILL THE REST OF MY GROUP CAUGHT UP!! LOOKING FOWARD TO THE 51ST ANIV AT CLARKS THIS WEEKEND!!

Wow motts..this is incredible..really brings back all the good memories...your work is truly awe inspiring

it's like i'm five again running up those stairs my mind making up stories.. Wonderful picture motts!

to think something that i once thought of as magical and fun could look so much like a scene from a war torn town

wow...i remember this from years ago...it wasn't so creepy then..

Sad for childhood~ For those of us who loved this place, it has been very bittersweet to think it will never open again on this soil. But Clark's Elioak Farm is trying to save and relocate as many as they can, so these structures and figures can be enjoyed once again.The boat you speak of has JUST been delivered to the farm. It won't ride people around, but it can now be seen. The farm also sells a d.v.d of the last day the original owners had the EF. You might want to go to the farm and check it out. I think they have it playing on a constant basis. Part of that money goes towards the relocation efforts.

Yep I live 10 min down the road from it . I remember all these rides when I was a kid. I remember there was suppose to be a boat that would take you that way but it was always closed. I would always take my ask my parents to ask the "tour guide" of the sarafi ride they had when it would finally be open. The Alladin ride was cool but the Alice tea cup ride was the best I made my mom at the time ride it 10 times in one day just to go through the colored cave. I get a little sad when ever I see the movie Cry Baby now

Her Mother now gone, she leaves a child who is now in her 40's.
Tonight she dreams that she is at the foot of this staircase holding a small lit birthday cake. In her other hand is a beautiful bouquet of red roses.
As she climbs this enchanted staircase she quietly sings "Happy Birthday" to the memory of her Mommy.
She turns around and sits down at it's very top, and lays the bouquet down next to her. Holding the small lit cake in both hands, the flames dance as she sings the last "Happy Birthday to you." of the song.
And right at the end, a slight summer's breeze blows through this enchanted stairway, as soft as any Mother's kiss. As it kisses the woman's cheek, it also softly blows out all the candles her Mother's birthday cake.
The woman looks down and sees the blown out candles and also notices that the bouquet of roses are now gone.
She smiles...her wish had been granted...
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! " : )

sandi, do you remember the cement Birthday Cake the was inside this building?

I still have a memento of this park from over 30 years ago. It is a little plate with a string hanger and it deplicts this house on it, I ALWAYS wanted to have my birthday party here! I love these photos and thank you for them, I now live in California and have sooo many wonderful memories of visits here!!!

shitty graffiti, id like to smack that punk, other wise this place is cool

This structure is from a fairytale and nursery rhyme park. It is the gingerbread house from the story Hansel and Gretel. As the story goes, Gretel pushes the witch in the oven and saves her brother. I imagine the feet are suppose to be the witch's to follow the story line.
