Fairytale Town, Sacramento

I was bored tonight, and looking online for something fun to do. I came across Fairytale Town in Sacramento, CA. It looks really fun, actually.

They have 25 Fairytale scenes, including Cinderella, Mr. McGreggor's Garden (Peter Rabbit), Old McDonald's Farm (and petting zoo), Jack's Bean Stalk, Robin Hood's Sherwood Forest, Pooh's garden, The Little Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe's house, Peter Pan's Pirate Ship, Humpty Dumpty's wall.

Here are some pictures:

and how they describe it:

Step into the world of Mother Goose where fairy tales come to life. Children can chase each other around the crooked mile and crawl on the tortoise and the hare. Captain Hook's pirate ship, Owl's tree house and King Arthur's table are all here. The petting zoo has a variety of animals to see, from sheep to donkeys. You can bring a picnic lunch or purchase hot dogs, corn dogs, nachos and drinks from a concession stand. General admission is $3.75 on weekdays, $4 on weekends, and children under three are free

Here's a review from one woman:

My husband and I read such nice things about the park that while visiting the Sacramento area we put it on our list of things to do only to be rudely turned away at the gate like a homeless person at a 4 star restaurant. What all the web sites fail to mention is the fact that there is a city ordinance which does not allow anyone in the park without a child. So any seniors wanting to check out the park to take the grandkids don't waste your time on this one. Also the gate is less than 4.5 feet high so again seniors and people with disabilities beware.

Actually, I think that is great! Good for them for protecting our kids and not allowing adults in without kids. Why would an adult want to be there without children, afterall? I can see a senior citizen wanting to look at it, but really, this keeps our kids a lot safer when it's just for families.

Fairy tale town is owsome! I took my 4 year old there while we were in town for a weekend. I was told it was like a park and an would take about an hour to see everything, boy was I miss informed. We were there for five hours and she wanted to stay longer! I only wish we had a place like that near our home, so we can go more often. It was like a never ending play ground. My daughter actually wore herself out which is a hard thing to do. I would have liked it more if my daughter would have stopped playing long enogh for me to tell her the fairytales behind each stop. If we ever go back to sacramento we will deffently go again.

Great Day !

I recently visited this wonderful play land with my 3 grandchildren ages 5, 3, and 2 . They played until they couldnt play anymore.The park was exceptionally clean, with many things for children to do. The smiles on their faces are forever imprinted in my mind. What a great wholesome place to take children. I would hope that anyone who has young children, or grandchildren, take the time to take them to this wonderfull playland. Sacramento is so very lucky to have this great place. When you get tired of the playland, you can go accross the street to the zoo. There is also another place next door to the zoo that has rides for small children , but it was closed at the time . I will certainly take my little grandkids there again before they get to old for it. Thank you FairyTale Town for having such a wonderfull place for children.

My three year old daughter loved it there. She enjoyed watering Peter Rabbit's Garden, playing in Cinderella's carriage, and most of all the crooked mile raised path. I thought it was well maintained, and the flowers and trees are beautiful.It is a park like setting, and you can take it at any pace you like. If you like to stop and smell the flowers, and watch your childs face light up with joy, then it is the place for you.We went twice within two weeks because my daughter wanted to take her father there, so he wouldn't miss out on the experience.

Entrance fee is only $3.50
