- On the first floor of the blue and white Beautyrest pavilion, five whimsical displays follow man's progress from rock pillow to comfortable mattress in his effort to get a good night's sleep. On the upper floors, visitors can lie down in small, private rest alcoves, rented by the half-hour.
- * Admission: free to the pavilion; rest alcoves, $1.00.

- "LAND OF ENCHANTMENT." In the exhibit area, the animated displays deal with various aspects of sleep: elves digging sand for the Sandman; the sleeping difficulties of William Shakespeare, George Washington, Napoleon and other historic figures.
- AND SO TO BED. Uniformed attendants escort visitors to their rest alcoves, set a timer and rouse them gently if they sleep beyond the half-hour limit. Each alcove is carpeted and furnished with bed, shelf and full-length mirror; a blanket is provided. The beds may be adjusted electronically like hospital beds.
