Michael Garman's Magic Town is a 3,000 square-foot smaller than expected city that consolidates many complicatedly nitty gritty models and cityscapes with supernatural components to make one of the world's genuinely exceptional attractions.

"It's a colossal play area for the brain," says its maker, Michael Garman. "Part festival, part dollhouse, part form." This 3,000 square-foot scaled down city was roused by Garman's own encounters as a drifter during the 60s. "These are depictions of my time in Buenos Aires, Santiago, San Francisco, Dallas, and Philadelphia," Garman clarifies. "It took me over a million dollars and parts of four decades to pull it from my psyche and get the thing fabricated."

Located in the historic district of Old Colorado City, Magic Town is a 1/6th scale miniaturized urban neighborhood, complete with dozens of handcrafted buildings, alleyways, and sidewalk scenes that transform before your very eyes. As you look down an alleyway and see the lights dim, notice how the sculptures seem to have moved and an entire new scene magically appears. Holograms heckle you as you pass by, and other visual and sound effects work to transport you into the stories that are revealed in each window and around every corner.
