Check out this story in the Trib about a new park coming to the area. The former Santa's Village site will be transformed into Azoosment Park, a half zoo, half kiddie-themed park. And rides will; eventually be incorporated by next year. Hopefully this will fill the sad void left behind by the closing of Kiddieland.

Kaloo! A park geared toward the little ones, featuring gentle animals and a modest price point. I'm so excited by this!
