Sadly, this attraction has been torn down. The owner of the land said it was in disrepair and was afraid of someone getting hurt.

There's a great Yelp review written inside this Target building.
[Brandon Dupre, 11/29/2020]To me, the funniest part is that somebody took the trouble to bring a shopping cart out there -- and now people use it to sit in and have their pictures taken! Neat.
[John Schmidt, 09/19/2018]"You can buy anything you want when we get to Target in Marathon." Greatest vacation prank ever! Cool little art installation. Not an abandoned railway station. We interpreted it to say "get out of the stores and into nature!"
