The original fairground was converted into a public park and entertainment precinct after 1988. Visitors today can explore the area and enjoy various attractions and institutions now located on the site.
The theme was 'Leisure in the Age of Technology', focusing on the balance between relaxation and modern life during that era. This concept shaped how all exhibitions were organized and presented to visitors.
