Michael Jacksons Neverland Ranch
Michael Jacksons Neverland Ranch is a mini Disney World. Michael always had Disney music playing and kids were invited often to come ride the rides and pet the animals. Michael included all the
same types of stands you would encounter at a fair. He had snowball stands, popcorn and cotton candy. Everything children love at a fair.
Michael wanted Neverland Ranch to be a getaway for the child in all of us.
WELCOME...
Come take a tour of Neverland Ranch
Neverland Ranch Tour
Michael Jackson purchased Neverland in 1988
in Santa Barbara County, California.
It sits on 2600 acres, with beautifully sculptured gardens and pathways.
Neverland was named for Neverland in the Peter Pan Book.
It was rightly named as that is what Michael created it to be.
Some of the lay out of Neverland included..
a pool and numerous carnival rides and statues decorating
the landscape there.
"Jackson purchased the property from golf course entrepreneur William Bones in 1988 for a sum variously reported to be $16.5 to $30 million. It was Jackson's home and private amusement park and contained, among other things, a floral clock, numerous statues of children, and a zoo. The amusement park included two railroads: one 36" gauge with a steam locomotive (Crown 4-4-0, built 1973, with 4 coaches) and the other a 24" gauge amusement train ride-type); and a ferris wheel, carousel, zipper, spider, sea dragon, wave swinger, super slide, dragon wagon kiddie roller coaster and bumper cars.
During his residency there, Jackson brought groups of children and their families to the facility as day visitors. " -Wikipedia
One of Michael's Rules at Neverland was..."you are going to get wet
before you leave here."
