Its lifespan was atypical of American amusement parks of its day (most of which were short-lived, failing to survive past the onset of World War I).

White City's other attractions were typical of parks of this type: a midway, a fun house, a penny arcade, concession stands, rides, sideshow acts, a roller coaster.

White City also included a roller-skating rink, a ballroom, and a stage where musical acts and, later, pop stars (Paul Anka, Jerry Vale, Edie Gorme) performed.

The Zip, designed by Herbert Schenck, remained in service until the park's closing, although it was later renamed the Cyclone and later still the Yankee Clipper.

Spag's discount department store, a regional fixture from 1934 to 2004, was located 0.5 miles (0.80 km) east of White City.
