There are nooks and crannies of Seuss Landing that are easy to miss. These are not major attractions, to be sure, but if you take a fancy to this whimsical land, or if you have a young Dr. Seuss fan in tow, they might be worth seeking out.
Just through the woozy archway that marks the entrance to Seuss Landing from Port of Entry you will find, on your right, McElligott’s Pool, a pretty little pond with a waterfall, some charming statuary, and some interloping ducks who have made it home. Just past this area, next to the Cat in the Hat shop, in a private courtyard with its own kid-sized entrance arch, lies Horton’s Egg. Climb atop the spotted egg (a sign invites volunteers to do so) for a great photo op.
The Street of the Lifted Lorax is a small walk-through
area next to the Caro-Seuss-El. It retells the story from Dr.
Seuss’s book, “The Lorax,” the moral of which is
“Protect the environment!”
From time to time, there is a Seuss Character Meet and Greet held at the Seuss book shop (times will be listed in the Adventure Guide). And don’t forget to be on the lookout for the cat of “The Cat in the Hat,” who makes frequent personal appearances on the street. He is fond of sneaking up on unsuspecting tourists and will gladly pose for photos.
Finally, if you are hurrying through Seuss Landing, you can save a few seconds by turning left at Green Eggs and Ham and following the path that circles behind the shops. This takes you through a broad open area next to the Inland Sea and beneath the tracks of the Trolley Train Ride and lets you out a few paces from the bridge that leads to The Lost Continent, thereby avoiding the crowds of kids that throng Seuss Landing’s colorful main drag.
