Lost Wonderland: The Brief and Brilliant Life of Boston’s Million Dollar Amusement Park is the definitive history of the state-of-the-art amusement venture that gave its name to the Wonderland section of Revere. Long before the Wonderland Racetrack, or the Wonderland Ballroom, or the Wonderland Station on the Blue Line, Wonderland Amusement Park defined the area.

–Bill Brotherton The Lynn Daily Item Sept. 11 2020
