Wonderland is the northern terminus of the Blue Line in the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) mass transit system serving greater Boston. The station is located near the Wonderland Racetrack and is handicapped accessible. See MBTA accessibility. Wonderland station is on the part of the Blue Line that uses overhead lines instead of third rail.
The station is also served by many bus local bus routes: Route 110 Wellington Station via Woodlawn, Route 116 Maverick Station via Revere Street, Route 117 Maverick Station via Beach Street, Route 411 Malden Station via Granada Highlands, Route 424 Eastern Avenue & Essex Street (in Lynn), Route 426W Lynn Station via Cliftondale, Route 441/Route 441W Marblehead-Haymarket Station via Lynn Station & Vinnin Square, Route 442/Route 442W Marblehead-Haymarket Station via Lynn Station & Humphrey Street, Route 448/449 Downtown Crossing-Marblehead via Logan Airport Terminal C, Lynn Station, and Swampscott. Several other commuter routes that operate to Downtown Boston are cutback to Wonderland Station on the weekends.
The name "Wonderland" originates with the old Wonderland Amusement Park, which operated at the site from 1906 to 1911. The station was originally not meant to be the northern terminus, which was going to be located in Lynn; however, due to budgetary constraints, it became the northern terminus.[citations needed] Plans are now under discussion to extend Blue Line service to Lynn.
The title of the 1998 film Next Stop Wonderland refers to this station.
