    Fun rise. Holds one parent and one child or two children.

    Interesting and fun park in the midst of Pittsburg, CA to take your children to! There are a lot of fun areas to let your children play. Once you pay the entry fee, all the rides are free. Our friend's 7 year old daughter loved the zip line area. You have to wait in line and usually the parents make sure the children take their turns. During the summer, there is a train that goes around the park and there is an area to have picnics and BBQ. There is a wooden house with a rube slide and a mechanical ride that kids will lov This is an older park, but well maintained and the children love going there!

    We had my daughter's 2nd birthday party here and it went well! We reserved the Party Castle all day for a great price! Elaine had great communication with planning and reserving the place! Thank you again!

    We had the most wonderful experience having our daughter's 2nd birthday party here. Wow. I can't begin to explain how great this place is and what a hidden gem it is! Firstly, Elaine, the woman who runs the place and organizes all the parties, was so patient, helpful and easy to work with. Elaine is the bomb! She hooked us up with a party in the castle on the Sunday before labor day and it was such a great set up, because apparently most people thought it was going to close early that day, but last minute they changed the schedule. It didn't get changed on the website so there were not very many people at the park that day which was great! There are soooo many things to do here. Many playgrounds, different play houses, a zip line, a few rides (the train and carousel are down for an indefinite amount of time, but you don't even need those with everything else going on). If you rent the castle, you only get MORE things to do! There's a huge slide in there (it goes really fast, so rider beware), and there's an obstacle course type thing upstairs. The other incredible thing about the castle is there's a huge table inside with more tables on the outside area, air conditioning, a full kitchen, a BBQ, and a door out the back so at the end of the party, you can drive your car in to load up. The pricing is good! You get discounts if you're bringing over 15 people and then a further discount over 25, I believe. There were so many steps along the way that I was worried the calculation of the reservation or the tickets wouldn't be done right. Or we wouldn't get our deposit back from the city. Everything went so smoothly!! We got all our money back, we were always charged the right amount. I honestly was mad that I hadn't used this place more for my kids prior 6 birthday parties. So don't delay! Have your birthday party there now, you won't regret it.

    This is a new discovery cute place nearby! Small amusement great for kids of ages 2 to 10. We love this place for our kids ! I can honestly say that this small is reasonably priced better than the other small amusement I know nearby that goes by tickets. I love how you pay for each person to go in and all rides inside are unlimited for kids. They have lots of cute playgrounds too and cute little ponds and river streams. This place has a nostalgic feel too reminds me of when I was young. I also love how you can reserve a party here for a good price . Only thing is wish that tickets were included with the reservation fee for the spot for all the guests. And maybe if they can add a few more rides inside. This is a truly hidden gem! I hope they don't change.

    Small World Park is the kind of place you'd expect to find in San Jose or Oakland - wait, they already have one. But this is in Picksburg? Wow. It's a small-scale park, with several rides, several play areas, several party areas to rent, several places to fish. Geared toward the younger set. And for the majority of parents who are low on cash, the prices are small-scale too. It's somewhere between a neighborhood park and Oaktown's Children's Fairyland. We finally went, and come to find out that my daughter is already near the upper age range of who it's built for (she's 7). A birthday party was held here. The girl's grandmother booked the Party Palace, and was amazed at their rental price for 2 hours: "Because sometimes I'm involved in renting rooms for the women's ministries for the church, and over the hill [Concord] we have to pay around $300-400 and still need to provide our own tables and chairs, and this was only $55 for residents for 2 hours. They want a place where residents who don't have a lot of money can rent a room to have these kinds of parties." It looks rinky-dink, but the kids don't care, they'll ride the rides all day. We didn't have or see any incidents, so I don't know first-hand how they handle wild kids or dangerous adults. So Small World is another place where, if you keep your expectations in check, then you'll do fine.

    Nice lake!

    Small, but fun, this park is great for taking the kids for a few hours to play on a carousel, zip line, go down a slide, and ride a few other simple rides. I was able to ride in a ferris wheel with my 1 year old daughter for a few minutes, which was very fun! They have some wide open areas that would be great for children's parties and birthdays. There is a couple of small snack vendors, though we didn't buy anything so I'm not sure what they sell. There is also a train to ride in a circle around the park. I recommend sitting in the far back, away from the noisy engine and gas smell. Avoid the mistake we made :-) It's $6 per adult, $3 for any kid older than 11 months (free if under 11). There really isn't TOO much stuff to do here, but considering the price, and how kids can entertain themselves fairly easily in this place, I'd recommend checking it out at least once. I can definitely see myself bringing my kid here 1-2 times a year. Only downside was we saw a bit of the Pittsburg ghetto here. Heard several people cussing, dropping F-bombs, a woman wearing a shirt indicating she's a pot head, and another dad with his daughter wearing an IPA Lagunitas beer shirt. Not exactly what I want to see at a child at a small children's park. I'd hardly complain if they instituted a "Don't wear drug and alcohol related clothing to the park" policy, which I think would be a good idea. This park is one of those "3 stars is too low, 4 stars is too high" places. I wish Yelp would allow people to rate businesses 3.5 or 4.5 stars for example, but until they do, I'll go with 4 stars. Last but not least, check their operating hours! They arent open year round.

    Awesome hidden gem for toddlers IF the park is not busy. You can't beat the price and the rides are included in the entrance fee.

    Book this place for your next small-medium sized party!…read more My husband & I are expecting & originally had planned our baby shower outdoors in January. Foolish, I know! Once the weather forecast changed to a chance of rain, we found this place & could not be happier that we did! We contacted the owner Ty, who was extremely easy to communicate with & we were able to come in & check out the space almost immediately & decided it was perfect! We officially booked approximately 4 days before our party when a lot of places need 30+ day notice. It was very reasonably priced & we basically had the location for the entire day. Plenty of time to set up & clean up. We were allowed to come & go all day from 10a-7p as Ty also owns the bakery just next door! She & her staff locked up & unlocked for my family all day so we could drop things off, leave & come back! We had approximately 50 guests, about 40 adults & some children & everyone fit more than comfortably. We were allowed to bring in any food & alcohol that we wanted with only a $75 service fee for the alcohol. A Bluetooth speaker & tables & chairs were also included & were comfortable & all in good condition. There is bathroom inside & heating & AC as well as trash cans & trash bags. The owner, Ty was on scene next door all day til we were all done & ready to leave & locked up for us. We absolutely loved our having our party here & will absolutely be back in the future!

This visit, we started with the appetizers and ordered the gyoza, imperial dumplings, and chicken lettuce cups. They were all great choices and made for a delicious start to the meal.

Although my burger still came with tomato, it wasn't a big deal and I had no complaints. The burger itself was juicy and full of flavor, and definitely hit the spot. Overall, it was another enjoyable meal with good food, great company, and friendly service. Looking forward to coming back again for future celebrations

    Good chilaquiles, but not enough to bring me back for brunch…read more We came back after nearly a decade, and while the new chilaquiles station caught my eye, the overall experience was just okay. We took a gamble, did a walk-in, and it paid off. We got seated right away on the patio. No complaints, beautiful scenery and the weather was perfect! The chilaquiles with salsa verde and over easy eggs from the omelet station were yummy and definitely the highlight. The mimosas were a nice addition, I wasn't sure if they were still included. The prime rib, shrimp, and French toast were great. But the Eggs Benedict were tough to cut, the salmon was dry, and dessert was basically gone an hour before closing. They eventually brought out brownies and bread pudding after another guest complained, but... really? I guess you can say I expected more consistency and better execution. I'm not a buffet girl to begin with, so this didn't make my return list. I might come back to try the regular menu though.
