Babyland General Hospital

Lovers of the bizarre, I have officially discovered the weirdest place on earth, and it’s in Cleveland. Babyland General Hospital is a cringe-inducing toy store camouflaged to look like the inside of a sterilized operating room. Why? So that attendees can take part in the “live birth” of their adopted Cabbage Patch Kid from the womb of the Cabbage Mother…seriously. Creeped out yet? Just wait. The inside of the building, which is actually an abandoned medical facility, is a creepy labyrinth of stuffed dolls and makeshift baby nurseries. Once you make it to the “delivery” room, you take a seat in front of the “Birthing Tree” surrounded by cabbages, each of them crowned with the dismembered heads of babies not yet ripe enough to “be born”. Preemies, if you will. During the “birthing process”, the lights around the Birthing Tree go dim and strange purple crystals begin to glow in the cabbage patch. Suddenly, an announcer lets the audience know that the Mother Cabbage is fully dilated. After several minutes, a “doctor” appears on set and produces a pair of salad tongs that he then uses to pull the doll baby from it’s leafy cabbage hole. He then gives the doll a hearty tap on the butt and you go on your merry way with enough nightmare fuel to last a lifetime. - Roadtrippers Pack the ‘Kids™ up for a trip to the new BabyLand General® Hospital in Cleveland, Georgia, voted one of the Travel Channel’s Top Ten Toylands.
