Local Christmas Attraction Makes A Comeback, But In A Different Location

By John McDevitt

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A Christmas attraction of the past returns to the present, but it’s in a different location.

“On the left is the looneytoon ship, the good ship looney tune.”

That’s Ralph Gaudio, who dusted off more than a 100 mechanical figures that make up Enchanted Land.

The 72-year-old went into retirement two years ago after closing his family garden centers G-Boys and Gaudio’s.

Enchanted Land used to be at G-Boys in Marlton for decades, delighting the crowds.

“We used to have people from five different states who would bring people and then they would bring people. It was just something that accumulated over 50 years.”

Now Bugs Bunny, Batman, snowmen, carolers, reindeer and Santa and Mrs. Claus have been dusted off and relocated to inside Kindy’s Christmas Factory Outlet in South Philadelphia.

Admission is three dollars. Children five and under get in free.
