Description
Summary:The White City amusement park opened in about 1908 and then closed in 1912. The admission price was 10 cents. It is likely that the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition overshadowed it which lead to its brief life. The park had a roller coaster and a Ferris wheel, some side shows and performers. The most popular ride was the miniature railway called the Lake Shore Railway. When the AYPE came some of the attractions were moved over to be part of the exposition.
