Operating partially as a prop store, Jadis is the brainchild of Parke Meeke, boasting of an extraordinary collection of scientific objects. These aren't products you find regularly, and include antiques and creative designs that are either made or collected by Meeke. Some of the objects in this store include switchboards, giant coils and life-size models of many scientific robots and machines. The products sold at this store have been used as props for many popular movies as well. The extensive collection of Meeke can hardly be matched in design and creativity, and a visit to this museum is a must for all sci-fi fans.

Managed by the Carolwood Foundation, Walt's Barn seeks to preserve his abiding love for all things rail related. The barn served as the operations center for the miniature railroad Disney constructed at his Holmby Hills home in 1950. Built to a 1/8th scale, the railroad was completely operational as the "Carolwood Pacific Railroad" till 1953. While Disney was alive, he used the barn as a workshop, where he tinkered for hours over his railroading hobby. The barn today is open to the public for those who would like a closer peak into the legendary entrepreneurs favorite pastime. Open every third Sunday of the month from 11a to 3p, visitors can visit the barn and see the model trains, personal artifacts, and work benches he made himself, all under one roof.
