Marcus Leshock shares some memories of Kiddieland, the family-owned amusement park in Melrose Park, Illinois that was geared towards families with young children.

I grew up going to Kiddieland and was sad when it closed in 2009. Today you can ride some of the former attractions in other parks would acquired them at auction. We also went to see the original Kiddieland sign, which was saved and is on display outside of the Melrose Park Public Library.

Did you ever get a chance to visit Kiddieland? What are you favorite memories? Leave them in the comments below!
