Well, that's a bummer! I guess it's not such a bummer that it closed, given its most recent history that way. But I'da loved to go to such a place, were it still happening and not, like, abusing animals.

That card's from the Birch Hill Game Park, which used to be in Patterson, NJ. http://www.historicpatterson.org/Exhibits/ExhBusinesses4.php
I'm thinking you might like the fire engine, and maybe you'd have liked the little train, as a little Peter?

There was a drive-through animal park near West Milford, NJ, when my old gf was a kid there. It also got caught being crappy to animals. We humans really suck, like, a lot, often.

When I was Googling Deer Forest, I discovered it, too, had a little train you could ride. While I don't remember it, I know I would have been totally into it.

One of these days, I need to look up the nearest tourist excursion train. I confess that if I'd been so inclined, having a kid would have been a great excuse to ride with him/her on a miniature railroad.

By the way, a couple of years ago, I heard a little Michigan Tourism promotional ad on the radio that mentioned "The World's Largest Miniature Railroad." Right up there with the world's shortest giant, I assume.
