Valley of the Moon (Tucson, Ariz.)
George Phar Legler purchased 2 1/2 acres of land on Allen Road, Tucson, Ariz. in 1923. He constructed an series of caves, tunnels, towers, rock villages, waterfalls, dragons and gnomes and opened the Valley of the Moon in 1932 as a children's theme park. Legler gave magic shows and fairy tours; in the 1940s, he produced "Bunnyland", an eleven-act theater program featuring rabbits dressed for various roles. In the 1970s, the Valley of the Moon Restoration Association was created to restore the park.
