Dispensa's Kiddie Kingdom and Castle of Toys
United States
Dispensa’s Kiddie Kingdom and Castle of Toys was a 5-acre amusement park and toy store located on a 12.5-acre site in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois near the Oakbrook Center shopping center, in DuPage County, Illinois. The store was in business from 1967 to 1985. The amusement park operated from 1975 to 1984. The Castle of Toys store was the largest independent, free-standing toy store in the world. The store received a fair amount of attention due to its unique shape as a turreted castle which featured oversized toy soldiers lining the edifice. It advertised rides for a quarter per ride or six rides for a dollar, a price that later became five for a dollar according to their TV jingle.
