The Melrose Park amusement park Kiddieland will soon be no more. Costco, the retailer that purchased the site back in October, began demolishing the park today. You can visit Kiddieland's most popular ride, The Little Dipper, at Six Flags Great America. A Westmont man purchased the carousel and hopes to reopen it in the area. Relive your warmest Kiddieland memories through photos and videos.
