fantasylands
Made-up magical places
Fantasylands are imaginary realms—places of wonder, magic, or impossible beauty that exist only in fiction or imagination.
The term often carries gentle mockery when applied to unrealistic thinking: His economic proposals belong in fantasyland.
Theme park areas designed around fairy tales or adventure stories are sometimes called fantasylands.
