Fairy Tale Town

Specs
Type: Parks, Birthday Parties
Distance: Short Drive
Area: Sacramento
Ages: All Ages
Cost: $
Information: www.fairytaletown.org
Located in the same complex as the Sacramento Zoo and Funderland, Fairy Tale Town is really just an enormous kids' park. There are 25 play structures there, each one based on a fairy tale or nursery rhyme. Admission fees are pretty low and your kids can literally spend hours bouncing from one play structure to another. There are several large slides, a pirate ship complete with helm and treasure chest, a stage where kids can put on a show, lots of things to ride and climb on and my kids' personal favorite: the crooked mile, which is a raised, narrow concrete trail that winds through a little mini forest.

Fairy Tale Town also has a small collection of farm animals, including sheep, goats, bunnies and pigs. And they host a number of events throughout the year (we always go there for their Easter egg hunt). You can book a birthday party there, too, although it's a little bit of a drive from our area.

Fairy Tale Town doesn't cost a lot: on the weekends, a family of four can get in for 20 bucks.  It's a great choice for a day out if you just want your kids to have some free play without having to wait in a lot of lines or battle crowds, or get nickeled and dimed for all those extras.
