Visiting an amusement park is a great way to let go of reality and experience fantasy. Employees of Davison Design & Development spend their working days at a special office complex called Inventionland that has the look of a real amusement park.

George M. Davison, founder of the Pittsburgh-area product design company, created Inventionland to get his employees out of their cubicles and into a place that inspires creativity.
