Created by a man named Merv Moyle as a play area for his daughters, the Wonderland -- or Fairy Garden -- has been a beloved spot for children since 1970. Fairies, dragons, gnomes, toads, and an assortment of other magical creatures hide in the foliage of palm trees and azalea bushes, along winding paths that lead to various tea party picnic areas and a pet cemetery. There is even a special post box where children can drop off letters for the Fairy Queen!
