We're not in Kansas anymore. Actually, we're in Beech Mountain, North Carolina, home to the famous Land of Oz theme park.
Based on the iconic 1939 fantasy/adventure film, The Wizard of Oz, the Beech Mountain attraction park has a fascinating story of its own to tell. Scroll through the slideshow to learn five interesting details about Land of Oz and find out when you can visit North Carolina's Emerald City.
The park has reopened to the public, but only for a few days each year
Although Land of Oz went through more than its fair share of challenges, the park’s magic never entirely disappeared. After extensive restoration efforts in the 90s, the Emerald City opened its gates once again for an Autumn at Oz Festival.
This annual fall festival still takes place, welcoming curious visitors into the park for just a few days each September. In 2019, Autumn at Oz will celebrate its 26th year. Attendees can expect to enjoy a stroll down the yellow brick road, an exhibit featuring original props and costumes, meet and greets with the characters in costume, craft vendors, pony rides, and much more.
