still around and still just as fun. Now taking my kids to same spot I loved as a kid. Lots of slides, paths to follow and just plain fun!
Sacramento children have been enjoying Fairytale Town in William Land Park for generations. I have run the crooked mile as have my Children and Grand Children. Several years ago we had a family reunion picnic in the park. After we ate before the games started four generations decided everything else could wait until all four generations toured Fairytale Town to see it again.
A wonderful place to take kids, 2-12, for a morning or afternoon in Sacramento. Lots to see, geared to the younger kids, and perfectly safe for a family to visit, hang out, eat a picnic, and enjoy the climate. Spring is the best time of year for this experience; it gets HOT in the summer.
My daughter is 7 and still loves coming here, what's not to love about this place, cheap admission, farm animals the kids can pat and get close to, lots of swings and slides and other kids stuff they can play on.There's theaters, face painting and storytime days. Across the road in summer outside this park, there;s usually pony riding and Funderland and the Zoo are also close by but if you have toddlers and any kids under 10, this is a great non stressful place to take them.
This is a great way to spend an afternoon in Sacramento. It's fun and inexpensive. The park is well kept with plenty of play equipment and animals to see/pet.
Lovely setting with plenty to see and do for younger children. Lots of close by parking. Not far from the wonderful Tower Cafe for lunch or brunch.
We made a stop off here on a road trip and were pleasantly surprised. We found this place online, and you never know what to expect when you actually get there. We have a 16 month old and he LOVED every second of this park. It's perfect for toddlers (i cant attest to older kids, but we were with a 7 year old and she had lots of fun as well!). Parking worked out much better than we thought - there was free parking within easy walking distance. We would return here (and probably get a membership) if we lived closer! Overall excellent play area and would highly recommend!
Perfect for Kids with tons of attractions. Best to be combined with a Zoo visit which is just across the street. They also offer a combi ticket. Be ware that the restaurant/cafe closes at 3pm so if you plan to snack there, do it before that time. Even that they close at 4pm you can stay in the park up until 5pm. Our daughter loved it. We can recommend.
I remember my mom bring me and my siblings here to play 25 years ago and it was pretty shady back then. They have put so much energy into cleaning this place up and even the park area outside fairytale town. Even when it was just a funky play place back in the 80's, it was magical for me as a kid. I love bringing my own kids here now. I love that they have added some animals and a whole picnic area. It's a great place to just let kids run around and pretend they're in a storybook.
Fairytale Town in Sacramento is a must visit while in Sacramento for those with young children. The park is spaced well and provides multiple areas for kids to play and live in a fairy tale for a couple of hours.
