Wonderland City was an amusement park located at Tamarama, on Wonderland Avenue near the point at which it joins Fletcher Street, in Sydney, Australia.[1] It opened on Saturday, 1 December 1906 and closed in 1911. At the time it was the largest open air amusement park in the southern hemisphere.

During its operation the colossal playground had a balloon could go up to about 3,800 feet (1,200 meters) high.[2] An enormous switchback railway and around the clifftop, a steam-driven miniature railway operated over about two miles (3.2 km) of track.[3] A large wooden bridge build over an artificial lake, the Alpine Slide would take you to "Rivers of the World", Seal Pond.[4] An open air Roller Skating Ring, American Shooting Gallery.[5] It was operated by electric light powered by its own steam plant, and the whole area was covered with thousands of gaily coloured lamps and described as a Fairy City.[6]
