Michael Jackson and Neverland Ranch

Michael Jackson named his home in Santa Barbara Neverland. When Michael was a child he was part of the Jackson 5, a music group with his bothers and sisters, that his father managed. This took up all his time so he could not be a typical child and enjoy playing on the playground or going to the movie theater. He created Neverland so his children and other children could come and be a kid and "never grow up". Pictures of Neverland Ranch
