DALLAS, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- This holiday season, young visitors can enter the Nieman Marcus store in Dallas though an 85-foot fantasy-themed portal, officials said.
Store designer Ignaz Gorischek's display begins with children age 4 through 10 crawling through a door in a plate-glass window at the storefront and into the 85-foot tube with windows that allows their parents to check on them, The Dallas Morning News reported Monday.
Local children helped Gorischek, 53, think up displays for the tube featuring visual ideas about energy. Those ideas were turned into pretend elephants flying after eating peanuts and pretend monkeys levitating from energy transferred to their shoes after stomping grapes.
The crawl-through display was to open this weekend with a message for children, Gorischek said.
The message is it's OK to dream big," Gorischek told The Morning News.
