Tivoli Gardens, one of the oldest still…
August 1843 CE
The amusement park is first called "Tivoli & Vauxhall"; "Tivoli" alluding to the Jardin de Tivoli in Paris (which in its turn had been named from Tivoli near Rome, Italy),"Vauxhall" alluding to the Vauxhall Gardens in London.
From the very start, Tivoli includes a variety of attractions: buildings in the exotic style of an imaginary Orient: a theater, band stands, restaurants and cafés, flower gardens, and mechanical amusement rides such as a merry-go-round and a primitive scenic railway.
After dark, colored lamps illuminate the gardens.
On certain evenings, specially designed fireworks can be seen reflected in Tivoli's lake.
