We absolutely love this place! My daughter is 15 months old and she has a great time! We got a membership, $65 and I can bring another adult. Kids under 2 are free, 2 and over are $10 which I think is very reasonable!! It does get warm so I would recommend coming in the morning. They added on an indoor space/story center that has a stage, costumes, a fish tank, books, coloring corner etc. It's nice to take a break in the ac! They have farm animals, a playground, lots of slides, a garden your kids can water, plenty of bench's, tables, water fountains. My daughter will be able to go here easily for the next five years. I would say this is age appropriate for toddlers. Would recommend coming here if you're thinking about it! It's in Land Park which is a huge park with ponds and lots of geese. There are two beautiful gardens walking distance too which is also a plus! The staff is really nice and friendly and it seems like everyone is happy to be there. I don't blame them! It's a feel good place! read more

Nice place to kill 2-3 hours especially for kids ages 2-6. Think of it as a park with some play structures. Lots of shade which is a plus. The highlight was Louie, the tortoise going on a walk. Kids were able to get super close. They also had a theatre showing of Goldilocks which was great for the kids. They also have a small cafe with reasonable prices. $10/pp over age 2 is reasonable. Plenty of street parking. read more

Amusement park in Sac (Land Park). Currently, admission is $10/person. (Kids under two are free.) They also have some member options that are worth it if you plan to go frequently. Parking can get a bit difficult, since it's also close to the Zoo and Funderland. There are areas to slide, climb, and play. Also, there are animals (goats, rabbits, chickens/rooster, ox, mini horse, pigs) inside. The gift shop mostly contains generic items that don't say Fairytale Town, which don't make for the best of souvenirs. If you've never been here before, you can likely count on your kid enjoying at least a couple of hours here before getting bored. I'd say it's geared more for the younger children...older kids would probably benefit more from visiting the other two nearby attractions. read more

Not very impressed. We're from Oakland where they have Fairyland at Lake Merritt, which I think is better than this spot. Oakland one has better menu at the cafe, a train ride, actual rides to get on, and puppet shows. However, this sacramento one was a bit boring and a lot of the play structures weren't protected from the sun, so it was too hot to even play on some of them. At least it's across from the zoo, and cheaper entrance fee. read more

For the price, this place is definitely worth checking out if you have kids! Admission is super reasonable: $10 for adults, $10 for kids ages 2 and up, and little ones under 2 get in free. We came on a Monday morning and it was perfect because it wasn't crowded at all, which made it so much easier to explore and enjoy everything. The space itself is huge and super clean, with so many fun things for kids to do. There's a great variety of activities and play areas. Tons of colorful slides, cute little playhouses the kids can crawl into, fun sculptures to take pictures with, and even a big playground area. You can tell they put a lot of effort into making it both creative and safe for the kids to run around and have fun. My daughter couldn't stop smiling and wanted to try everything. Overall, it's such a great spot to let your kids burn off energy and have a blast, especially for the price. We took so many cute photos and had a really nice time together. I'd definitely recommend this place to parents looking for a fun and affordable outing. We'll for sure be back! read more

Pretty nice "Storyland" like kid's storybook park and playground in Land Park. They have a bunch of different buildings themed after nursery rhymes, including some with mini playgrounds, plus a small petting zoo. Most kids will probably spend about 2 hours here, most of it at the playgrounds. Some of the areas did not work (there is supposed to be audio descriptions) the day we were there, and also the bathrooms were fairly meh. Otherwise, it was a fun morning. read more

We recently visited FairyTale Town with our two toddlers and absolutely loved it! If you're in Sacramento with little ones, this is easily one of the best ways to spend a morning or afternoon. You can easily spend half a day here without anyone getting bored. What We Loved Immersive Play: The range of play structures is incredible. Our kids were obsessed with the recreations of famous children's books--walking through Mr. McGregor's Farm felt like stepping right into a storybook. Animals & Nature: Beyond the slides and climbing, the petting zoo and the peaceful Japanese pond (Urashima Taro) provided a great change of pace for the kids. Interactive Learning: The children's theatre is a gem. They have dedicated storytime and puppet shows that kept the toddlers completely engaged. Why It's a Must-Visit What makes this place even more amazing is that it's a non-profit. Knowing that your $10 admission (an absolute steal for the quality of the park!) goes back into maintaining such a creative space for the community makes the experience even better. It's right across from the Sacramento Zoo, so you can make a full day of it in Land Park if you have the energy! Perfect for ages 1-6, but even older kids will enjoy the nostalgia and creative structures. read more

Super cute fun place to take kids. Doesn't cost too much and there's plenty of things for kids to see play on and easy to watch the kids. It's across the street from the Sacramento zoo. We enjoyed it more than the zoo... lol Very characteristic and really does feel like you're "somewhere else." You could probably bring snacks and drinks in a backpack. They have some old school speakers in the distance that gave me a feeling of being on Willy Wonka land or something... very relaxing especially when the weather is nice. read more

Kids love it here! Great place to get some energy out of the kids. They evens have some animals to view here. It's not too big but big enough to entertain the kids for a good while. There is also an are you can draw, play with toys, and read books. Tickets are $10 and kids under 2 are free. read more

Brought our little one here, and it was a great experience from start to finish. The whole park is designed around classic fairy tales, with well-built play areas like King Arthur's Castle, Jack and the Beanstalk, and the Crooked Mile. Every section has something fun for kids to climb, slide, or explore, and it's all in a safe, enclosed space. The place is clean, well-maintained, and has plenty of shaded seating for parents to relax while the kids burn off energy. The small farm animals, like donkeys and sheep, give it an extra touch that keeps kids engaged. Admission is affordable, and parking is easy. If you have young kids, this is one of the best spots in Sacramento. We'll definitely be coming back. read more

I've been getting membership here for a few years now. The breakeven point is 4 visits so it's worth it if you plan on going a few times a year. Membership comes with 2 free guest passes and discounts on drinks. This is a great place for young kids. It's like a giant playground. There is a limited age range that this would appeal most to which is around 2-8 years old. I first took my son here when he was 2 years old and he was too young and only went on one of the small slides. So far at 4 years old has been the optimal age and he's been able to do all the slides and activities and asks to go every week. There's themes throughout the year. My son loved "talk like a pirate" day with all the pirate themed crafts. There are small animal enclosures here with tortoise, pigs, goats, pony, cow, and sheep. There is a small food court with ice cream, shaved ice, nachos, hot dogs, corn dogs, pretzel, and some snacks for the little ones such as string cheese and pb&j snacks. read more

such a charming gem for families with young kids! The park brings classic nursery rhymes and fairytales to life with adorable themed play areas like the Crooked Mile, the Jack and Jill hill, and the Three Little Pigs' brick house (which my kids ran in and out of at least 20 times!). It's not a flashy theme park, but that's part of its charm--it's more nostalgic and imaginative than commercial. My kids had a blast climbing, exploring, and pretending, and I loved watching them unplug and dive into simple, creative pl read more

Fairytale Town - such a charming gem for families with young kids! - Amusement Parks Near Me - Sacramento, California

Our little ones love Fairytale Town! They're 2.5 and 6 and this age is perfect for Fairytale Town. They love to run around and climb all the different structures. Some of the big slides are too much for my 2.5 year old, but the smaller structures are perfect for him. The craft room is a popular spot but it gets crowded quickly. The whole area is pretty small and the kids finish going through it quickly. But they have fun go round and round! Our most recent visit they had abbreviated plays to watch. This time it was the Wizard of Oz performed by a local high school students. It was wonderful! Our little ones enjoyed watching it and the actors did a great job singing and dancing on stage. They even stayed behind for pictures with all the little ones. There's a snack bar and a some tables to eat. However, a lot of the tables do get occupied for reserved parties. The area is clean and parking can be a pain. Also, there isn't much shade, so we tend to avoid going in the hot months. read more

First time coming here with my kids and they loved it! My son was obsessed with the treehouse slide. Enough space for the little ones to run around. There was a small area with barn animals. Good amount of shade and sitting areas. read more

Such a treasure in the heart of Sacramento's Land Park. This is a great place to take kids under 6 and just let them loose to explore, play and adventure their hearts away! read more

An absolutely fun time for my 2 year old! We stayed approximately 2 hours but he did not want to leave. Loved the slides and seeing the animals (rabbits, turtle, sheep) he probably could have stayed longer if I had let him but we had to leave. Naps are pretty important. But we will definitely be back. read more

My kids had a blast at the spring egg-stravaganza event. They picked Easter eggs, played on the slides, built blocks, and played with bubbles. They were able to pick either 2 small prizes or a large prize in exchange for the egg hunting. My kids selected finger lights and small legos. There could have been better prizes for the cost of admission. read more

Definitely recommend this fun, quaint themed play area for ages up to maybe 11-12. I took my four kids here during Spring Break a few months ago and we had the best day - there was a lot to climb, animals to see, and even playgrounds/slides throughout. It's very well-maintained and wasn't crowded the day we visited. We parked far away across Land Park but there probably would have been closer parking near the front entrance had I been paying attention. I'd definitely return! read more

Reasonably priced fun for young kids. I'd say age 3-7 years old is the perfect age for this place. We went with a 3, 4, and 6 year old and they loved it. We stayed for almost 4.5 hours! Most of the playing areas are outdoors, but there is an indoor reading rainbow house that has books, coloring, and dry erase boards. Surprisingly, our group spent more than an hour just in that reading house. Multiple areas with water fountains, restrooms, and there's also a concession stand if you need to buy food or snacks. read more

Cute outdoor place for younger kids! We took our then 16-month old daughter here last year on Easter for their annual Eggstravaganza event, and it was lots of fun. They had three different easter egg hunts for different age groups (i.e. infant, 1-3 year olds, 4+ year olds). I liked that, so that toddlers could move at their own pace without being overwhelmed by the older kids and vice versa. I was pleasantly surprised to see a variety of areas to check out, such as the pond with koi fish, multiple slides and playground areas, a ship and train to play on, a castle to explore, and farm animals to see. Admission is reasonable, but I could see it getting expensive if you bring a big family. Please note that all adults going to Fairytale Town have to be with a child. There's no limit on the number of adults entering, but adults can't just enter by themselves with no children in their party. My only complaint is that I wish there were more food options inside. It's pretty limited and just basic park food, and over-priced as most parks are haha so plan to eat a good meal either before or right after coming here. I believe we spent two hours here. read more

Cute, but Too Hot to Fully Enjoy Fairy Town has a lot of charm, but the hot Sacramento sun really takes away from the experience. Most of the attractions are outdoors with playgrounds, but it was so hot that our kids barely wanted to play. At one point, the slides became so scorching that my boys were in pain coming down, and eventually, the staff had to close them. There were supposed to be shows, but none took place while we were there. We ended up retreating to the castle, which is reserved for birthday parties, just to get a break in the AC. After that, we found ourselves running to the reading room for more air conditioning relief. Fairy Town is super cute, but the extreme heat made it tough to fully enjoy. read more

Fairytale Town is amazing. Its super reasonably priced for a afternoon outdoor adventure. My kids LOVE this place and all the extra events they host throughout the year. The staff is amazing and SUPER accommodating if your kids have any special needs/requests. Its a Safe Place location which means adults can only enter accompanied with a child and its completely all fenced. It helps ease the stress if you have a wild kid or a runner. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Very nice little park. Great for kids. Easily spend a couple hours there. Farmer Brown's Barn has goat, ox, horse, Dory etc..... There is a little Cafe in Fairytale Town. The Dish & Spoon Cafe has a few outdoor tables. You can get hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, ice cream, peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, fresh fruit and more. read more

I grew up in Sacramento and spent plenty of time here as a kid. Much of it had changed since the 80s BUT they still have - the hippo drinking fountains - the castle you can reserve for your birthday (wasn't that THE DREAM?!??) - the Cinderella coach and horses to ride on - the crooked mile - the low humpty dumpty head-banger bridge on the way in New additions include more playgrounds (eg Sherwood Forest), a pirate ship, and a preschool-ish play area (inside a windmill). Also my mom thinks we used to go for free and now it's $8 for anyone older than 1 ($7 on weekdays). (Yes, you can buy tickets there now "post covid" and don't have to get them online ahead of time.) My 2 and 5 yo loved it so worth the price of admission at least this once. Parking in their lot was easy on a Sunday before 10 but filled up quick. Bring snacks to enjoy in one of the many picnic areas. read more

A totally fun place for a toddler! The fairytale themed was simple and easily relatable to the Mother Goose nursery rhymes that were familiar to our little one. The park although not big was adequate, clean, and open with lots of activities to keep children occupied and entertained for hours. Lots of structures to climb and play with and some live animals to see. Highlights of our visit... the crooked mile, bean stalk slide, and the train! Our little one had a blast! Will definitely be back again! read more

I can't get enough of this place! It's so simple and so sweet and offers so much. We easily spend all day here. Ideal for kids 2-10. Plenty of space to run around, lots of slides, animals to observe. The garden is our favorite. The kids can water the plants and get a little wet. There is a playground for more climbing. There is a cafe for snacks, but you can bring your own picnic. The bathrooms are clean. They built a brand new all gender bathroom at the front of the park. There's an indoor space for real little ones. There's also story time in doors. Tons of picnic tables and flowers! read more

Went for my daughters birthday party, she turned 4. It just didn't have anything really fun for her to do. A few things here and there were fun but we paid $9 to be in there like 30 minutes. We moved through the place like it was about to close. The animals would have to be the best attraction for my daughter because it was up close and personal and what kid doesn't like seeing animals. Of course she wanted to take one home. I just think Funderland may have been a better choice because it has rides for the kids, Fairytale Town doesn't. read more

Unique and possibly unusual child play area in Land Park. The fairytale theme is cute - at times a bit subtle. The space is mostly well maintained, with nice paths and planting. There's tons of shade, too. There are lots of slides, some of which I think could use some better designations for age or height. Most activities are pretty tame, though. Our favorite parts were the playground and the garden, where we could help water plants. Food for sale was pretty reasonably priced. They could easily charge more. read more

I remember coming here when I was tiny. I even remember having a bday party at king arthurs castle. So special! Fast forward like 30 years (give or take) and I'm taking my kids here now. Humpty dumpty is still sitting on that wall and all these huge scary slides now seem tiny. The crooked mile is a total different experience now but I enjoyed it just as much walking my 3yo through it. They've added a bunch of stuff now like cool play areas, climbing thingamigies, and live animals! I swear I just stared at a sheep for like 10 minutes... and he stared back. Neither of us moved... for like 10 minutes. It was amazing. But the kids... yes, they had fun too. Watch your head. The bathrooms are meant for them... tiny people. Have fun... and tell your kids about the fairytales. I still don't understand half of them... but at least I visited their town and stared at their sheep. Good times! read more

I was really looking forward to visiting Fairy Tale Town with my 14-year-old cousin, I used to go here growing up and wanted to go back thinking it would be a sweet and nostalgic way to spend some time together. Unfortunately, we were turned away at the entrance by a staff member who was unnecessarily rude and made assumptions without even asking questions. She told us we couldn't enter because there were "no kids," assuming my cousin was over the age limit without clarification. While I understand there may be rules about age, the interaction lacked kindness and flexibility. It's sad to see a place meant to promote joy and community operate with such rigid and dismissive behavior and rules. It's also unfortunate that the city creates spaces that limit safe, positive activities for young teens, and then wonders why the youth sometimes turn to less productive things to do. read more

We stopped here on a whim with our son because we were in town for a medical appointment. No rides, just cute statues, some slides, and some animals. Very cute storybook themes, and my 2 year old enjoyed exploring. $7 per person is not expensive. However, $20 for a key is! We passed on the key even though you can return the key to get a portion back (I think $13 or $16? I can't remember). Cute photo ops, but would not pay to visit multiple times. The goats seem very happy here, though! read more

This place is nostalgic and brings so many childhood memories. Have you read kids story books for example Alice in Wonderland, Humpty Dumpty, Gingerbread house, bean stalk and etc? This place is clambered with storybook-themed play structures and gardens. In summer, kids can enjoy watering the plants. That was my kids favorite place. You can host birthday events too. It's magical for kids. The highlight of the recent trip to fairytale town was dinosaur center. My favorite was reading nook area. My kids enjoyed reading dinosaur books. While they were reading, I watched so many families come in and go. No one seemed to last in this dinosaur center for more than 2 to 5 minutes. Well that was great because my kids took the opportunity to explore each corner with ease without crowd for over an hour. I have a six year old and he's the biggest dinosaur lover. He can describe and name different dinosaurs. This was perfect center for him. Kids did coloring too. After coloring they placed their drawing on the wall for display. At the end of the room, they have a table which contains outline of T. Rex. Kids can remove bones with tongs, "Operation"-style without touching If you played the board game operation,you'll know what I'm talking about. If not, visit fairytale town to find out. Fun place for little kids to explore, get themselves dirty, messy and go wild with their imaginations. read more
