Children's Fairyland Oakland California

Follow one little boy's magical adventure through Children's Fairyland in Oakland, California...
Before there was Disney, there was a magical fairytale-inspired amusement park in Oakland. When it first opened on September 2nd, 1950, admission to Fairyland cost less than 15 cents per person. While the price has gone up in the past seven decades, Children’s Fairyland is proud to have maintained its modest admission price making it one of the Bay Area’s most affordable family-friendly attractions. The park is designed to delight visitors of all ages, but is primarily geared toward children under the age of eight. (Our son was almost 5 at the time of our visit and had the most magical time!)
Discover the 60 storybook sets throughout the park, including Rapunzel, the Three Little Pigs, Pinocchio, and more. With fairytale inspired rides and a schedule full of plays, puppet shows, storytimes, music classes, magicians, and live music, provide an endless stream of low-tech, but high fun, entertainment through the day. Be sure to purchase a Magic Key in the gift shop, so your child can “unlock” the magic and listen to various stories (in English or Spanish).
Children’s Fairyland is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and relies on grants, bonds, and kind-hearted donations to keep its door open for generations to come. If you feel so obliged to donate to this magical cause, please visit fairyland.org.

I went there so many times as a kid, we lived by the grand lake theater. When I go to the city, the places I pass on the freeway 580, give me good feelings of my childhood...

Awww, wonderful childhood memories are the BEST!

I love this video, really brings back the nostalgia! I remember my grandparents taking me there when I was, I can't remember how old, but definitely single digits haha. I still have my magic key that I came across the other day in a keepsake box 😊. Had to look it up on KZbin to see if it was still around. Nice to see there are still simple places for our youth to see even today. ❤

Awww, I love this! Our son still gets so excited when he finds his magic key and EVERY time says, "I want to go back to Children's Fairyland". And yes, we love the simplicity and the price tag of this amusement park, so that families will continue to bring their kids generation after generation and continue to make lasting memories!

Only 11 thumbs up and 394 views? This should have a MILLION thumbs up and views! STELLAR, BEAUTIFUL, MAGICAL, POIGNANT PLACE! FASCINATING! I wish I knew HOW the figures were made, what they were made of- and WHO made them! That would be a fascinating video! IF I loved int hat state I would be there every week- heck, I would work there!

Is this pkace for 10 th years old boys? Or for toddlers?

[@ForgetSomeday]

Sorry for the late reply. Probably better for toddlers. I would say 7 and under, but that's just my opinion.
