Several buildings, such as the Pompeiian, Electricity, and Submarine Boat buildings, were dedicated to exhibits. The side shows were owned by the Dicker family, who also owned the hotel next to the park. New attractions were added every season. To facilitate circulation, the paths were designed with gentle slopes and few steps. Entrance and lagoon Dreamland's primary landside entrance was on Surf Avenue, where there was an arch measuring deep, high, and wide; the portal was intended to resemble a theater's proscenium arch. There were several smaller, similarly designed portals along Surf Avenue. Guests paid a ten-cent entry fee to pass through the gates, then paid an additional fee for the attractions. The center of the park contained a lagoon surrounded by a promenade. Originally, Dreamland's operators had planned to install flood gates that allowed salt water into the lagoon during high tide. The lagoon measured wide and long and was spanned by a large pedestrian bridge at its southern end. The footbridge over the lagoon had ornate columns with glass globes, as well as carved lions on either end. There was a miniature railway underneath the promenade. The side shows were arranged around the lagoon. Kirby, Petit & Green designed the buildings around the lagoon in numerous architectural styles that complemented each other, in contrast to Luna Park. A hippodrome track was built around the lagoon in 1906. The track was replaced with bathhouses by 1910, and a pergola was also constructed on the lagoon's shore. At the northern end of the lagoon was the Beacon Tower, a French Renaissance-style edifice measuring square at its base and approximately tall. The tower's gold-and-white facade contained large arches; bas-reliefs carved by Perry Hinton; and 100,000 electric lights. Elevators transported visitors to the roof, which was decorated with a ball and eagle. The tower contained water-storage tanks with a capacity of . An attraction called Hiram Maxim's Airships was added just north of the tower in 1905; it consisted of airships that were hung from a tower. East side On the north side of the park, to the left of the Surf Avenue entrance, was a medieval-style entrance with a show called Our Boys in Blue. Another structure, just south of Our Boys in Blue, hosted an illusion presented by Ben Morris. Just right of the entrance, at the park's northeast corner, was Bostock's wild animal exhibit, housed in a Grecian-style structure
