"Carnival Love, Five Cents a Chance" by Theodore Gall
It's 1960 in an amusement park in Chicago called Riverview, and it's beginning to look a bit old. Couples walk through an attraction designed to look like a human head called Aladdin's Castle, hoping to have a romantic encounter when inside. The head opens to reveal the walkway through the garden of love, and then allows them to leave on the exit ramp that looks like a tongue.
