Dickens World, Kent, England

What book screams "fun and theme park" to you? No, it's not Harry Potter, it's the uplifting tale of an orphan, a criminal, a depressed spinster, and an emotionally abused child. The creators of Dickens World turned this cheerful story into the Great Expectations Boat Ride. But if that's not your thing, you can visit the Haunted House of 1859 (complete with thrilling special effects), the Victorian Schoolroom, or an animatronic show with robotic Dickens characters that we're sure isn't creepy at all.
