Land of Makebelieve was a kiddie park located in Upper Jay, NY. It was in operation from 1954 until 1979 and was designed and built by Arto Monaco. The park was built to a child-sized scale with over twenty miniature buildings and attractions, including a castle, a riverboat, a train, fairy tale houses, a stagecoach and an entire Old West town. The amusement park was in operation for 25 years, and attracted up to 100,000 visitors annually. Destroyed by a flood in 1979, it was forced to close. Arto Monaco's designs can still be seen in Santa's Workshop, located in Wilmington, and at the Great Escape, located in Lake George.
