Have you ever been to Wonderland in Boston?

Don't get confused with the title here, I'm not saying the Wonderlands in fairy tales or the ones that in the Disney theme parks. In fact, the wonderland is here in Boston! There's a metro stop at the end of the Blueline called Wonderland. I. like most people, am curious about what exactly is the place. But unlike most people, I actually go there and find out what it is. So, let's check it out!

If you take the Blueline at Government Center, it takes you about fourty minutes to get to Wonderland. If you are looking for castles and princess, you'll probably be disappointed, too. Lying in the northeast of Boston downtown, wonderland is famous for the Wonderland Greyhound Park and close access to the Revere Beach.



 Hop on the train to Wonderland, R U Ready?


Getting off at the wonderland stop, you'll find yourself greeting by the "Castle" that will fit your original imaginization.

After walking for a few hundred feet, you'll find you on the famous Revere beach. It was not a good day that day, and the water was cold so few people were hanging out on the beach.
Founded in 1896, Revere Beach is the first public beach in the country. Every summer, huandreds of people are rushing to the beach to swim. From 1906 to 1975, Revere Beach contained a popular amusement park, that was considered by many to be Boston's Coney Island. Walking along the beach makes you wonder how glamous it used to be back in the old days. You can still see enormous resting areas built with a touch of classics.
 
It may not be as popular as it was twenty years ago, but you can still come to Revere Beach to join the annual Sand Sculpting Festival that takes place in July. I am actually pretty excited about the coming event and will sure come back again to take part in the event. Would you like to join me?
